Queensland has peaked at 5,000 triple zero calls in one day. The state is to have its ambulance service independently reviewed by "someone from New South Wales", Health Minister Tim Nicholls has told parliament. #qldpol

"It’s not a parody of any Bluey work. It’s not a minor use of the IP. In my view, it is an infringement of the intellectual property, number one." ABC to issue Please Explain creators with cease & desist order. #auspol theage.com.au/business/compa…

Cease and desist! ABC demands One Nation stop casting Bluey in its cartoons

ABC boss Hugh Marks says the depiction of Bluey is a “shocking use of Australia’s most loved character.”

When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan whether he was a socialist, Sagan offered an answer that captures the true meaning of a civilized society.

The ABC is taking legal action against One Nation for its use of the Bluey character. Take note, cookers, trolls and cultists. Bluey is the property of @ABCaustralia One Nation has stole ABC’s property. I congratulate @ABCaustralia for taking this action and showing some fucking balls and standing up to Hanson.

Dr Monique Ryan rips the Ginger Whinger a new one. “She’s been in the public space for 30 years & she hasn’t changed” Dr Ryan did not hold back on describing Pauline Hanson and her destructive ways. #afternoonbriefing #auspol @PaulineHansonOz @abcnews

Watching 7.30 Report. This so-called satirical cartoonist is not the smartest tool in the shed, is he? Nor is he funny or creative. It’s racist bullying with a snigger.

Thank you @AustralianLabor "...almost two-thirds (63%) of Australians are now bulk-billed for all their GP care, up from 56% in both 2024 and 2025, which the report says is “likely a reflection of the federal government’s recent investment in Medicare bulk billing incentives”.

The price of electricity in Victoria’s state grid was lower than every other major economy for the first nine months of 2026, according to Rystad Energy. This will be devastating news for those who insist the exact opposite is happening.

Labor left you with a debt of $ 270 billion in 2013 after the GFC, and you increased that to over $600 billion before COVID. What did you spend all that on, Dave?

Except government spending is only one facet to inflation. Does anyone actually listen to what the RBA says. Michelle Bullock explicitly stated one of the major driving factors of inflation is the current conflict in the Middle East led by a deranged narcissist.

Exactly @MikeCarlton01. If #Netanyahu is Prime Minister for 4 more years #Israel will cease to exist & entire Middle East will descend into total chaos. #Eisenkot as PM will have much greater skill & capacity to bring peace to region while retaining sovereignty of Israel.

The disastrous prospect of another four years of Butcher Bibi. A scorching cry of despair from that courageous, brilliant Israeli journalist Gideon Levy.

Labor MP Clare O’Neil put a post on Facebook about celebrating a toy library’s 40th birthday in her electorate, cutting a cake & thanking the volunteers. It was swamped with ugly hate posts & all from men. Just once it would be nice to read a post from an MP without the vitriol

Vital that #Netanyahu is defeated decisively in #Israel Election so there can be unbiased legal investigation of why he ignored Mossad advice that #Hamas would stage their brutal massacre of innocent Israelis. Fact is he needed war to keep himself out of prison.

Positive thought for Sunday. Within 2 weeks #Netenyahu could lose #Israel Election & #Trump could lose USA midterm elections. On podcast OLD EVERALD AND YOUNG JAMES TALK POLITICS we reckon the restoration of stable world order will begin.

Apparently ON believe they make the rules and don't have to follow existing ones. The hallmarks of dictatorship. They will use democracy to gain power, then corrupt it to try to stay in power. They are watching Trump closely.
