The authoritarian never realises that criminalising a thought only embeds it deeper into the social consciousness and rallies more minds to its clarion. #qldpol #auspol #StreisandEffect

Well done Victoria & Tasmania. Big yay also to Queensland which after trialing 50c fares in 2024 decided to make them permanent.

This is what governance looks like.

Contrast Albanese following the #Scott🤡 strategy of ‘we’ll use taxpayer money to underwrite any losses experienced by corporate profiteers’.

Shame on you.

Who do our elected representatives exist to serve? #FollowTheMoney

QPS has their jackboots on, and now you're all targets.

Pity so few protested against these straight up fascist laws:

Only Jarrod Bleijie could use "elites" as an insult when referring to Olympic athetes. #qldpol

'No other venues': Croc habitat to host Olympic rowing

A crocodile habitat is the only site the Queensland government is considering for the 2032 Olympic rowing, despite a mounting backlash.

John Quiggin2d ago

This kind of idiocy is characteristic of the Bleijie government. Time for front-man Crisafulli to take his job back, and put Jarrod somewhere he can't do any harm #qldpol

‘Out of his depth’: Rowers escalate Rocky revolt against Bleijie

The row over a regional 2032 Games venue has boiled over after the deputy premier accused Olympic gold medallists of “turning up their noses” at Rockhampton.

"Victoria Park will be totally closed off to the public in less than 10 weeks, with Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie confirming at a business lunch that the park would be fenced off until 2032."

Oh fuck you, Bleijie. #QldPol

Queensland to require e-bike or e-scooter riders to hold a driver's licence or learner permit.

(Queensland is a dictatorship with its rubber stamp unicameral parliament - I very much hope that the democracies in other Australian states dismiss or significantly modify any similar proposals in their jurisdictions).

E-bike ban to target Queenslanders who are 'medically unfit to drive'

Queenslanders who are not "medically fit to drive" will be banned from e-bikes and e-scooters.

Natasha Taylor6d ago

Got a medical condition that means you can't drive? Guess what: you won't be able to ride a fucking bicycle either thanks to the LNP.

Like a nice ride through the park? Nope, the LNP wants you on the busy road instead. What's that, almost all of Brisbane's bicycle infrastructure are footpaths and shared paths, not dedicated bike lanes? Well you're de facto banned from all of it.

E-bike and e-scooter riders to require a licence in Qld under proposed laws

A raft of new rules around the use of e-mobility devices will be ushered in after the Queensland government accepted the recommendations from a parliamentary inquiry.

I’m on my small smartphone so maybe that’s the problem but I can’t find the actual prohibited expressions listed in the new legislation “Fighting Antisemitism and Keeping Guns out of the Hands of Terrorists and Criminals Amendment Bill 2026”. Maybe they are listed in a separate instrument or something. (I’m using the word “instrument” to try to sound knowledgeable about laws and stuff.)
