Pill testing advocates warned people would die. Now we know someone has. Unlike other states and territories, Queensland now doesn’t have an overdose monitoring system or a public drug alert network. www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/que...

Crisafulli LNP Government’s puberty blockers review panel criticised for lacking gender experts & trans lived experience. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Fancy threatening nurses with taking their back pay off them if you don’t get what you want… 😳 It’s only taken Premier Crisafulli six months to start the threats…

This is what happens with a LNP government

BREAKING: Premier Crisafulli cuts all funding to Environmental Defenders Office. Yet another broken election promise by Dodgy David Crisafulli. Premier Crisafulli says one thing to get elected and the opposite after the election. Just. Plain. Dodgy. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Upper House Greens MLC Tammy Franks resigns from party, citing 'unfair' behaviour - ABC News amp.abc.net.au/article/1052...

So the Liberal party has elected a new leader who resigned after using a taxpayer-funded trip to purchase an apartment on the Gold Coast and a new Deputy Leader in Ted O’Brien who was responsible for their nuclear policy debacle that lost them seats everywhere & made his own seat marginal… 🤦‍♀️

Ali France’s election win is a big win for the disability community 😊👍 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Losing a seat is brutal & I have empathy for anyone who has. They served & that must be respected. However facts matter & @adambandt.bsky.social claiming today a record Greens vote in the senate is just not true. It dropped 0.69% to below 12% & falling every day. It’s down 0.51% in reps too.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese suggests Greens party responsible for own fall, attacks Max Chandler-Mather | ABC www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Greens leader Adam Bandt defeated in Melbourne, leaving party without its captain abc.net.au/news/2025-05-0… via @abcaustralia.bsky.social

Sad to see @maxchandlermather.bsky.social spinning his defeat on radio saying his vote held up, it was the voting system & others people fault. The truth is his party blocked housing for years, he had biggest swing agst him of Qld Greens fed MP’s & lost nearly 3% of his vote as a result.

The infighting has started in the LNP over their election routing by @albomp.bsky.social…

Premier Crisafulli threatens to strip Queensland nurses of back pay if they take protected industrial action 😳

Dutton lost his seat to Labor’s Ali France. Here’s what we know about her… www.brisbanetimes.com.au/politics/fed...

Queensland train manufacturing jobs are on the line under Premier Crisafulli & his LNP Government. It didn’t take long did it?   Downer has confirmed job cuts are coming to their Maryborough workshops, despite Premier Crisafulli promising jobs would be honoured 🙄 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Trump campaign chief claims he visited Australia to advise Liberals at start of election campaign www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

When Crisafulli Government Health Minister Tim Nicholls ‘checks’ something, you just can’t believe him. Watch as his latest gaffe gets minced by the media for telling an outright porkie…

Well well well… www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Greens party accused of misleading voters with dodgy how to vote flyer in Griffith. Desperate tactics from @maxchandlermather.bsky.social 🙄 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Mental health experts concerned about Coalition plan to scrap workers’ right to disconnect www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Premier Crisafulli’s Health Minister Tim NichollsMP has been caught out lying again… twice in one week! He claimed to the LNP never made any election commitment to match Labor’s 2200 hospital beds by 2028 when it was widely reported by @mattdennien.bsky.social & @7news.bsky.social Pants. On. 🔥🔥

Callide Power Station explosion presents first scandal for Queensland LNP www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Crisafulli Health Minister Tim Nicholls exposed for refusing to answer questions on notice in Parliament on womens’s health but answers them when the same questions asked by the @couriermail.bsky.social 😳 A total lack of integrity from a struggling Minister obsessed with petty party politics 🙄

Crisafulli LNP Government Youth Justice Minister Laura Gerber travelled in car that parked in disability space at Cairns 🤦‍♀️ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Bailey prevented access to three state hospitals. What has the Crisafulli LNP Government got to hide? 😳 🏥 ✂️✂️✂️ couriermail.com.au/news/queenslan…

😳 Struggling Health Minister Tim Nicholls has resorted to getting his own political staffer to ask Dorothy Dixer questions at his media conference to blot out the media gallery 🙄 #gawd A desperate measure from an involuntary Health Minister with increasingly poor judgment.

Awesome to be out on both days of the weekend doorknocking in support of Renee Coffey in Griffith. She is highly effective at actually getting things done like a second Medicare Urgent Care Clinic for Griffith if elected. Griffith needs a federal MP who builds not blocks! 😊👍

Labor to pledge $2.3 billion to subsidise home batteries 😊👍 ⚡️ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Check out Health Minister Tim Nicholls in Qld Parliament misusing standing orders to try & prevent a woman MP from fully discussing the sexual misconduct aspect of the Health Practitioner bill & workplace sexual harassment as a related aspect of the bill 😳 Deputy Speaker admonished him #tonedeaf

Mother of trans teen takes legal action over Crisafulli LNP Government’s puberty blocker freeze for new patients under 18 | ABC www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

😳 struggling Health Minister Tim Nicholls just warned in Parliament about continuous & frivolous points of order to disrupt Di Farmer who spoke of sexual harassment in workplaces re the Health Practioner bill where sexual misconduct by practitioners is clearly in the bill🤦‍♀️

Another clueless effort in Parliament by struggling Health Minister Tim Nicholls preparing for more health cuts by David Crisafulli who said there’d be ‘no health cuts’ Tried to claim credit for new 24 bed Hervey Bay modular bed unit in fact funded by @stevenjmiles.bsky.social Labor Govt! 🤦‍♀️

‘We love the harbour’: Dutton says he would live in Sydney as PM. Of course Dutton loves Sydney, he flew out of Queensland as a Cyclone loomed to hang out at $100m Sydney harbour mansion with donors instead of sandbagging locally! 🙄 #wellknown t.co/PU9ynNuLMq

New Sunshine Coast rail and bus network could be privatised after Premier Crisafulli breaks his election promise to build a heavy rail to Maroochydore 🤦‍♀️ When Premier Crisafulli says something, it means nothing. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

More than five months of the Crisafulli Government & still the Sangster review remains a secret despite Queensland Health leaks exposing savage cuts including the Qld Cancer Centre & the scope of the Bundaberg Hospital by arch cutter Health Minister Tim Nicholls. Why the secrecy Minister?
