Much better coverage at Ch7 on the Crisafulli government's claim of a fall in youth crime rates. No one outside the government can verify the data & they appear to be using different metrics. Also, the overseeing committee won't release the expert panel report. #qldpol

Watch #4Corners. Support public interest journalism. #auspol #australiavotes

Crisafulli government releases own youth crime data to The Courier Mail with selected court transcripts. There's no independent analysis. No commentary given to criminologists, youth advocates or legal professionals. Other media outlets repeat & amplify. This is the problem in Queensland. #qldpol

The Toowoomba case involving Bruce Lehrmann was mentioned in court last Thursday. There's a dispute over the brief of evidence. Lehrmann has sacked his previous legal team & lawyer Zali Burrows has just picked up the case. Adjourned until 22 May. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Former Qld LNP Brisbane council candidate Brock Alexander has surfaced at a Lilley pre-polling station handing out for Trumpet of Patriots. According to bail conditions he's not supposed to communicate with children under 16. #ausvotes

"You would need at least 12 months of data with these laws being in place to make any kind of claim as to effectiveness or non-effectiveness." Bond University Associate Professor Terry Goldsworthy on those Crisafulli youth crime claims today. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Media outlets are now repeating The Courier Mail article on Qld youth crime drop. There's been no independent analysis of the government supplied figures given to NewsCorp. No comment given to criminologists, youth advocates or legal professionals. #qldpol au.news.yahoo.com/drop-crime-s...

David Crisafulli on Ch7 this morning. Youth crime drop claim is from the government's own figures released to NewsCorp. There's been no independent analysis. No commentary offered to criminologists, legal professionals or youth advocates. #qldpol 7news.com.au/sunrise/quee...

Peter Dutton did not disclose he was a beneficiary of RHT Family Trust between 2014 & 2016. The trust owned Kirilly Dutton's childcare operations. With father Bruce Dutton he made $15m buying & selling childcare businesses & other properties. #ausvotes www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

"I'm the leader of the party and I intend to lead us to success on Saturday night because Australians can't afford 3 more years of Labor." Peter Dutton makes election prediction. #ausvotes

Peter Dutton blames immigration, yoga teachers & the CFMEU for Australia's home ownership issues. #ausvotes

Peter Dutton enters the final week of the campaign with no costings. #ausvotes

Peter Dutton has accused the Greens of being an "anti-Semitic, jew-hating party" & of doxing. He was asked if the racist posts of Liberal Party Fowler candidate Vivek Singha should be the standard he accepts for potential government members. #ausvotes

Liberal Party Fowler candidate Vivek Singha posted derogatory comments about Indigenous people & attacked Tanya Plibersek over her daughter. #ausvotes www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

"Queenslanders will be backing him in because they've seen his work over the years." Premier David Crisafulli doubts recent federal polling & predicts his friend Peter Dutton will make an amazing prime minister because he has the right stuff. #ausvotes

Sending "young thugs" a message. A soft NewsCorp interview with David Crisafulli on youth crime claiming law changes are working. Government figures sent to NewsCorp with selected court transcripts. Will Qld's evening news repeat it unquestioned? #qldpol www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne...

Crisafulli government claims victory on youth crime. Their figures claim a 32% fall in 13 offences Dec 13 - Mar 28. They provided court transcripts to NewsCorp. No independent analysis was provided. No comment given to criminologists, legal professionals or youth advocates. #qldpol

Melbourne Storm links to Advance. Co-founder & director Brett Ralph donates to the group through his JMR Management Consultancy Services. Welcome to Country cancelled Friday night. Nazis disrupted the ceremony earlier that morning. #auspol www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Going woke with Barnaby Joyce. #ausvotes

The #Deakin electorate sits at the end of the Eastern Freeway and has a large commuter population. Living here I can assure you electric vehicle use has increased in the area with BYD becoming popular recently. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Like most cooked spuds:

Andrew Hastie not backing down on 2018 comments women should not serve in combat roles. It's Coalition policy that ADF roles are open to all but he will set higher standards because in combat there is no second place. Everything is Labor's fault. #ausvotes www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne...

Peter has gone soft. #ausvotes

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04... I lived in the Huon Valley for 27yrs. I know Brett and Ros. They're good people and I understand they're concerned. It's not about getting rid of the salmon industry. It's wanting them to clean up their act and stop expanding. #auspol #politas #AustraliaVotes

Peter Dutton has been trying to enlist Peter Malinauskas into his nuclear energy scheme for years but the South Australian premier doesn't see it as an option for the country. #ausvotes www.aap.com.au/factcheck/pe...

Right as Neo-Nazis were interrupting an Indigenous welcome to country with screamed abuse, News Corp ran a massive splash advertisement from a political party that said "SICK OF BEING WELCOMED TO COUNTRY" The Age published a FRONT PAGE AD that said the same. Fucking hell, Australian media.

Tehan is my local member. It couldn't be more embarrassing. Go #AlexDyson

YouGov's seat poll surveyed 253 Dickson voters between April 17th and April 24th. #ausvotes au.news.yahoo.com/dutton-faces...

People wondering about Barnaby Joyce's medals. He served with the Army Reserve from 1996 to 2001. In 2018 ABC noticed his Parliament House biography had an extra 3 years of service. It's been corrected. #ausvotes www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02...

Nuclear ground zero. After telling Australians that nuclear energy would solve just about anything & threatening to seize coal power assets, Peter Dutton has avoided his prized 7 reactor sites this campaign. #ausvotes www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Oh look…Liberal behaving badly again. #auspol #liberalpartyaustralia #australiavotes #australianelection2025

Peter Dutton & the Coalition have no idea what to do. Previous analysis has shown that the activity test contributes to at least 126,000 children from the poorest households across Australia missing out on early childhood education and care. #ausvotes womensagenda.com.au/latest/coali...

Peter Dutton's power bill claims are made of cherries. #ausvotes www.aap.com.au/factcheck/ch...

Drive through Corangamite so can attest the Dunstan’s billboards have a pic of him in uniform.

Lib Canning MP Andrew Hastie, Lib Corangamite candidate Darcy Dunstan & Qld LNP Leichhardt candidate Jeremy Neal continue to campaign in military uniforms. Hastie was sacked from the reserves for it in 2016. ADF respectfully requests they cease. #ausvotes www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Peter Dutton and his Qld LNP dominated Coalition are all over the place on policy. There's little detail and he is flipping from one direction to the other. #ausvotes www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Sussssan is glitching in the background...maybe needs to be turned off and on again... #auspol

I haven't met Paula and Bridgette Powers but they are well known wildlife volunteers here in Queensland. A long time ago on the citrus farm, my Dad traded with twin brothers. They spoke exactly like the Powers sisters here. I was about 12-13 at the time. au.news.yahoo.com/remarkable-t...

In the time Peter Dutton has been OL I have never seen him as uncomfortable as this. All politicians should be peak questioned, don't take a backward step (sorry not sure her name). This is on the way to restoring the Kerry O'Brien, Andrew Olle & Paul Lynham era. #ausvotes
