The Windrose electric prime mover (which has a 700 kWh battery) covered the trip from Sydney to Canberra in a single charge. #auspol https://thedriven.io/2026/03/30/faster-and-a-lot-cheaper-australias-first-all-electric-inter-city-delivery-flags-new-era-in-road-freight/

Australia is not happy with you either, mate. There's been no formal request to sail our Navy into the Strait of Hormuz, you drongo. We've sent surveillance aircraft & there's Pine Gap. We can recall the plane, switch off Pine Gap & send your marines home.

Palms are hitting faces across Australia tonight as news spreads of Queensland Treasurer David Janetzki putting Peter Dutton on the board of the state-owned Queensland Investment Corporation. It manages $135 billion worth of assets & is crucial to the state's wellbeing. #qldpol

I think Australia's Father Bob would have liked this Pope Leo XIV.

He's no doubt up there now telling me to shut up & stop making it about him. 😀 https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/4/16/the-pope-has-shown-the-world-how-to-stand-up-to-trump

We Queenslanders have been protesting governments since before 1891. Unjust, unconstitutional & unfair laws or conditions will be challenged on Brisbane streets & in the regions. #qldpol https://barcaldine-peopleplacesthings.org/the-things/political-organisations-and-activities/shearers-strikes/1891-shearers-strike/

Might just be a glitch but I am forbidden over at BlueSky for the moment. Pass on to anyone you know over there.

I'm a Queenslander so I'm always causing trouble somewhere. I won't be a surprised if I've violated some thing or another.

Maybe the Seppo President should come down here for The Boot. https://youtu.be/DgfKeD2kvgI

Samuel L Jackson is probably having a good chuckle about Pete Hegseth.

Ch9 Queensland, you lied to us in 2024.
Now we are left with an impotent premier.
Why should we trust you in 2026?

In November, John-Paul Langbroek appointed James Power to the Queensland Curriculum & Assessment Authority board. He's the inaugural chair & founding backer of lobby group Advance. He is also establishing his own school in the "western tradition". #qldpol https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/nov/13/queensland-qcaa-board-appointments-qld-curriculum-assessment-authority

Seppo President attacks Australia, again. You haven't asked us to sail our Navy into the Strait of Hormuz, you bloody galah. You're causing no end of pain down here, mate. #auspol

Extra 250-thousand tonnes of Urea on the way from Indonesia for Australian farmers. It's the most commonly used nitrogen fertiliser.

This is why it's important for Australia to maintain good relationships with its neighbours. #auspol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-17/farmers-to-receive-fertiliser-from-indonesia-after-deal-struck/106574700

Tricks in the presence of armed police. Queensland councils attempt to extract verbal consent from the homeless before destroying possessions. They also threaten with fines but never issue them. A referral to state housing doesn't justify eviction. #qldpol

Trump's war is bad now for Americans & the rest of the world. Last of the pre-war oil would be at or near refineries. Even if the blockades are removed it'll take time to start the Middle East trade again. Everyone in electric cars? That'll take time too.

Campbell Newman actually warned us Queenslanders about David Crisafulli before the 2024 election.

Newman would always set out what he intended & then we could oppose or agree with him.

Crisafulli now has the top job & has no idea what to do. #qldpol

Queenslanders were told they had to change the government because of crime. We are almost 18 months into the Crisafulli government & the premier is nowhere to be seen. Now what are you saying, Laura Gerber? #qldpol

The original plan was to close the Gabba to cricket & AFL for the Olympics upgrade. Then return it to service for all 3. David Crisafulli broke his election promise & now we have his Colosseum for Victoria Park. The Gabba will be demolished & all that space will go to property developers in a bonanza. #qldpol

18 months into the David Crisafulli government in Queensland but why are Queensland's media so frightened of challenging him directly on his youth crime slogans?

Another slogan bill, "breach bail, go to jail", is on the way. #qldpol

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli was supposed to be in Washington this month to campaign for Donald Trump to host the Quad in Australia. He's on the booze this morning. Wonder if he's called it off? #qldpol https://michaelwest.com.au/premier-polishes-pitch-to-lure-trump-to-australia/

Hopefully all the ceasefires hold in the Middle East so Pakistan can resume negotiations on peace.

Geelong residents raise concerns about the communication after the fire broke out at the Viva Energy refinery. Perhaps a government led review, not to point fingers but to thrash out any issues for the future. #auspol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-17/geelong-oil-refinery-fire-lack-of-communication/106573412

Queensland 2013 and we poor people are on our knees before the Newman government. There seems no hope.

Then up George Street in Brisbane comes an almighty roar. Queensland unions pick us up & the rest is history. #qldpol https://youtu.be/TnLuAXP9Mgk

What rhymes with Jarrod Bleijie?

In 2013 Queensland's unions come to the defence of Queenslanders who cannot speak against the oppressive Newman government. They blockade Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie's office in Brisbane. #qldpol https://youtu.be/TnLuAXP9Mgk

In the job now for a year, Queensland's small target premier David Crisafulli. He claims a lot of achievements, even taking credit for new train stations, but his legislative agenda is lacking. 3 years until polling day; Saturday, October 28, 2028. #qldpol https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/oct/26/queensland-premier-david-crisafulli-one-year-on

"They want a holiday when their pet goldfish dies & they want a holiday when it's their birthday. It's outrageous & we're not going to tolerate it, we're not going to accept it!" Qld's angriest man, Jarrod Bleijie, yells at unions. Those are not now part of negotiations. #qldpol

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli is on the beers early today.

Queensland Day is celebrated on 6 June. It marks the day in 1859 when Queensland separated from New South Wales. Before then we were a NSW colony. #qldpol
