I've never heard of this bloke before about 2mins ago.

But I will buy his music right now.

Funnily enough I became a huge fan of the Dixie Chicks (now The Chicks) after they were cancelled for having the temerity to criticise George W.

Hopefully the same will happen here.

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.

So instead of developing policy for the benefit of all Australians the party will concentrate on “culture wars” of issues that don’t exist 🤔 How are any of these morons even getting elected.
