Residents of Dalby on Queensland's Western Downs suddenly face a $31bn datacentre. David Crisafulli lobbied Anthropic for it & refuses to implement power/water regulations. Now Jarrod Bleijie has seized control, taking datacentre planning away from councils. #qldpol

Queensland NAPLAN results: second-last among states, ahead of only the NT. Reading scores dropped across every year group: year 3, 5, 7, and 9 all went backwards. Year 3 numeracy fell from 393.1 to 387.6. Year 9 reading and grammar slipped. The department says 'back to basics', but Labor and LNP have had decades. City vs remote gaps remain. When does the duopoly deliver? #auspol #qldpol

Crisafulli government's big plan; "dewokify" Queensland. The term "gender" scrubbed from the Office for Women website after Minister Fiona Simpson deemed the word to be “on the nose” & "loaded". (Research: she's an old advocate for gay conversion therapy). #qldpol

Queensland's LNP government pushes a bill to forcibly acquire land for private projects, with no oversight and fewer appeal rights. Deputy Premier Bleijie says it's designed to override environmental laws. Mining lobby loves it. EDO calls it a land grab. August 7 report is your last chance to stop it. #qldpol #auspol

Queensland Grandmother arrested under Premier David Crisafulli's speech criminalisation regime. Where are Australia's human rights advocates? You stand up for other countries but you won't stand with us Queenslanders & the Goori people? This is happening in your country. #qldpol

G'day @MarkAsser@beige.party has indoctrinated me into the proper ways of observing polling results A by-election in my state deserves appropriate solemnity whilst I chew my fingernails awaiting the results. So, there will be pizza! 🍕 🍕 Not that the results will mean jack 💩.. The capitalists aka one nation wannabes (LNP) have got a stonking majority in state parliament. The ex member was an independent so one seat will not shift the dial Still the act of people practising their democratic right will be solemnly observed and celebrated #QldPol

As a Jew, I am very aware of the reality of antisemitism. But as a writer, I do not believe we counter racism, antisemitism, homophobia or transphobia by boycotts and cancellations. https://theconversation.com/uqp-has-cancelled-a-childrens-book-illustrated-by-matt-chun-citing-antisemitism-281316 #AusBiz #AusPol #QldPol
