Indeed, how can this be? The answer is simple: Because #AlboPM wishes it so… Why? Well, that’s a whole other question isn’t it?
“The Japanese Government raises $8 billion per year from its Petroleum and Coal Tax, including around $710 million from imports of Australian gas.
By contrast, the Australian Government is currently getting around $420 million per year from gas exporters paying Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT). Prior to 2023, it was receiving zero. Nada. Nothing.
In other words, the Australian Government is getting less money from our gas exports than Japan is.
State and territory governments also raise money from gas, especially Queensland which expects to get $1.2 billion this financial year (page 64) from its onshore deposits.
But most of Australia’s gas exports come from massive offshore deposits owned by the Federal Government. This means that even though far more federally owned gas is exported, Queensland’s government (like Japan’s!) raises more money.
How can this be?”

Regarding the Queensland “from the river to the sea” ban… it’s section 52DA of the Criminal Code, here:
https://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/view/whole/html/inforce/current/act-1899-009
It starts by saying: “A person who publicly recites, publicly distributes, publishes or publicly displays a prohibited expression in a way that might reasonably be expected to cause a member of the public to feel menaced, harassed or offended commits an offence” - and then goes on to define the phrase “from the river to the sea”.
Surely, singing John Farnham is not “a way that might reasonably be expected to cause a member of the public to feel menaced, harassed or offended” - and thus any media reports of people “narrowly escaping arrest” are lazy reporting?
(Even, surely, if you sing the song while holding a Palestinian flag?)
Or am I missing something crucial about this particularly dumb law from Crissafuli?

@John
World-class expertise… an ex-cop, arguably a failed minister (several departments) and definitely a failed leader… jobs for the boys, nothing more to it than that. QLD is surely the political arse-end of Australia. This is not a reflection on all QLD’ers, but you know, the further North you go the more ‘troppo’ they get I reckon./awaiting inbound flak…/

Queensland police scrap specialist unit providing support for domestic and family violence cases
Change comes after 100-day review that found domestic violence case management was not ‘core’ police business
The Queensland police service plans to disband a specialist unit that provided statewide support for domestic and family violence cases, prompting concern from frontline workers that the loss of an “important resource” would place women at greater risk.

I spent many weekends at the #Belmont #rifle range over a period of 11 years though. (These days it’s known as the Belmont #Shooting Complex)
