G'day
@MarkAsser has indoctrinated me into the proper ways of observing polling resultsA 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 dialStill the act of people practising their democratic right will be solemnly observed and celebrated

Coorparoo Bowls Club angry at Bowls Queensland claims it 'failed' to renew its lease https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-06/coorparoo-bowls-club-sold-to-developer/106619962 Brisbane City Council Deputy Mayor Fiona Cunningham said she had written to the Queensland government to support the club's state heritage listing.
"For nearly 100 years, locals have come to Coorparoo Bowls Club to connect, celebrate and unwind, and future generations deserve the same opportunity," Cr Cunningham said.
"The site is zoned for sport and recreation, and the community has made it clear they want it kept that way." #qldpol #bowls #commons

The majority of the world's response to the crisis in the Straits of Hormuz is to double down on renewable infrastructure plans.
Our home-grown fossil-fuel funded muppets have a plan to double down on all things oil.

If QLD doesn't want to follow the Royal Commission's recommendation on gun buybacks, cut their GST until they do.
Not just a bit, a lot. And let every single Queenslander know that Crisafulli is why

Australia's Pastor Niemöller moment:
“… unless we see these episodes as chapters in the same story, we risk waking up one day to find that the border we fortified against “them” has quietly closed in around “us”.”

Oh, fuck, this is way bigger than I thought.
After looking into it, it seems to be a maintenance problem with fouling around the drop-safety mechanism in the Glock 23.
15,000 weapons? That's systemic. Glocks have a lot problems, but this isn't one; the main for the Glock 23 seems to be stove-pipe ejections due to the gun being designed for 9mm, but being made to work with .40:
Queensland police recall 15,000 service-issued Glock handguns after discovery of fault causing multiple shots to fire

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.

University of Queensland is corrupt.
@Qldaah surprise is not a feature of my reaction.Penny Tangey, one of UQ's authors has put together a list of fossil fuel companies who are involved with the University Of Queensland. It's pretty damning:

It was never about antisemitism:

Note, FYI¹:
The Queensland Criminal Code Act 1899 as amended spells out the exact phrases that are not permitted.
Section 52DA(6)(a) and (b).
This is, IMO, a mistake, as the Act does NOT state that similar phrases or phrases of equivalent meaning are also prohibited.
The Act does this for symbols, which it leaves to regulations to describe, but not for words. Section 52C(1)(c).
This means one could, carefully, change the phrases used (as in some of the examples shown in the images) without attracting the threatened penalties.
I have a suspicion² that, because the Act ONLY specifies the exact English-language wording and doesn't refer to other languages, one could simply write/speak the phrases in another, perhaps uncommon, language; probably not Hebrew though.

@Qldaah Since when has Brisbane/QLD not been in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry? There’s your reason, right there. #qldpol

Don't let Queensland's propensity toward white supremacy act as the thin edge of the fash edge in Australia. https://linktr.ee/palestinebrisbane #QldPol #auspol #ZionismIsWhiteSupremacy #IsraelFascism #QldFascism

This law also puts ebike and scoots onto public roads, where they're speed limited to 25 km/hour. I know this will discourage a lot of people from active transport because it's so dangerous. But once the law is in place it's effectively going to impose a 25 km/h speed limit for all motor traffic travelling with ebikes and scoots as well.

It looks like there aren't many fans of the Crisafulli Government's “rules forcing e-bike riders to hold a licence, ride at 10km/h on paths, and banning under-16s”.
