Disgusting comments from the Deputy Premier just days after kids died from tainted pills.

Victoria, NSW and ACT are all exploring pill testing because it’s a proven and safe harm minimisation programme that saves hundreds of young people’s lives.

Matt Dennien @mattdennien.bsky.social · 17h

Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie asked yesterday about young people's drug use ahead of schoolies, via Courtney Kruk

"Only the commies in Victoria support pill testing. They are illegal for a reason – they kill you."

Dangerous drug alert issued after second Queensland death in a week

As Schoolies and festival season approach, experts fear the proliferation of synthetic opioids will claim more lives.

My new report is out - Adani sold coal at mates rates to India, avoiding $400m in royalty payments to Queensland

...and Qld's LNP gov doesn't seem to care.

Thread below on how they did it.

Adani denies claims it sold ‘below-market coal’ leading to Queensland missing out on hundreds of millions in royalties

Adani has strongly rejected the Australia Institute’s findings, including that customers paid an average of $102 a tonne in 2022-23

The Labor Gov, under @stevenjmiles.bsky.social chased Adani for this money. The new LNP government recently abandoned the court action, essentially giving away $400 million worth of coal to Adani.

Queensland government strikes deal with mining giant to defer coal royalties

The government has promised every deferred dollar will be repaid with interest by Bravus, formerly known as Adani, but won't reveal details, such as when the money will be paid.

If you think that the Football Weekly podcast is all about on-point football analysis, you'd be mistaken.

"Israel is still limiting the number of aid trucks allowed to enter Gaza. Its only permitting 300, half the agreed number under the Trump plan"

So Israel continues to starve people in Gaza because they claim Hamas hasn't done something. The definition of collective punishment

Gianni Infantino's latest Instagram post on how FIFA is going to help the Palestinians is only for those with strong stomachs. Infantino appears to be laying the ground to buy off the Palestinian Football Association and get them to drop their complaint against Israel, which has FIFA in a corner.
