Now they plan to hand over Mt Coot-tha to developers to build tourist zip lines and “glamping” and build a “Singapore” style city n the mountain. Destroying the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, concreting over Victoria Park was never going to be enough for them.

Fck the locals, they can choke on the smog and drown in the worsening floods.

“The Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games are seven years away, but the city is already planning for its moment in the global spotlight.”

#TonyAbbott, former PM of #Australia, shit-stain on our history, went off seeking to spread the de-humanising authoritarian methods.

Wondering if he also gave advice to Trump's #StephenMiller that was used to shape the fascist #ICE project.

This is hilarious in that the leader of the National Party in Australia is, in actual fact, a member of the Liberal Party and is only ‘affiliated’ with the Nats.

Does this explain the steady shift to the right by the Liberal Party in the last forty years?

This really is most farcical. 😂

The Liberals elect a female leader.

Shortly after the Nationals say they don’t want to be a part of that nonsense.

#SussanLey’s rise to lead the #LiberalPartyOfAustralia is just the latest development in a long, long struggle within the party’s ranks both to break the glass ceiling, and to adequately represent #women in the electorate.

@drag0nista’s outstanding, incisive 2019 essay “On Merit” is an enlightening look at the Libs’ historic “women problem” and the myth of merit’s role in preselections: https://books.apple.com/au/book/on-merit/id1499437725 #auspol #lnp #feminism
