Here we Joh again. The result of an infantile Queensland Premier & Deputy Premier continually spruiking 3-word & 4-word slogans against children. We had a whole corruption inquiry into this sort of thing and now we're right back in it. FFS. #qldpol

While the flood in Texas is horrendous, we here in W.NC suffered horrendous flooding too with well over 200 lives lost and the warnings were inadequate. They didn't come until minutes before the flash flooding. Meteorologists are warning notifications are going to get worse, because of dismantling.

Apparently, Lib MP Joe McCracken’s confession on some obscure libertarian podcast about the Vic Liberals' plan for sweeping cuts hasn’t gone down well internally in the party.

The facts are in on this: The younger a child is when they are put into prison, the more likely it is they will continue to be in prison across their lifetimes. These policies harm children, families and communities and create crime.
police are executing this policy - to incarcerate more innocent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children for longer - exactly as instructed.

There really is no topic that the far right and more shockingly, the Tory party who have literally no centre position now, won't exploit for their own agendas. To further exploit children who have been groomed and abused to peddle islamophobia is reprehensible.
