The west's favourite genocidal army, the IDF, has sent out the usual maps again, meaning they're going to bomb southern Lebanon any minute now

What do you think is going to happen to Victorians when they don't have any crime to complain about? Is that going to make them more calm?

Hearing @australia.theguardian.com won't publish a story about this because they don't support their welfare rights reporter or think it's an important area to report on 👍
The amendment to the income apportionment bill, would mean police officers would have the power to request the cancellation of Centrelink payments to those accused of a “serious violent or sexual offence” where an arrest warrant had been issued

In an abhorrent turn of events, Queensland's Health Minister - Tim Nicholls - has reinstated a ban on gender-affirming care for young trans folk, just hours after the Supreme Court ruled the LNP’s first ban unlawful.

Scoop: The federal government was warned last month that 1 in 3 parents plan to help their kids get around the social media ban.

The risk of "non-compliance snowballing and becoming normalised" could "undermine" the ban, the report says, based on polling done in Feb/March

It's why all the ALP podcaster wannabe influencers are so happy with this govt. They too would rather spend time bashing the Greens than actually advocating for progressive policies. Politics for them is just supporting a footy team rather than caring about things that affects people's lives

The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens.

He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions.

Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.
