I noticed the report on the Sydney Uni group who are running for student council with the phrase that I'm not allowed to repeat as a Queenslander.

This is the latest on the application to the Australian High Court on the implied freedom of political communication. #auspol

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli is in unprecedented territory. No Australian government has ever criminalised speech. 30 arrested so far under his law. The High Court recognises implied freedom of communication on government & political matters. #qldpol www.crikey.com.au/2026/07/30/i...
Ismail v State of Queensland. Remember that case — it’s going to make some laws
Even if you do not care about the Middle East, this case regards your freedom to express your view on whatever political topics are important to you.

Barnaby Joyce in 2018 dismissed as a "McCarthyist witch hunt" the neo-Nazi infiltration of the Nationals.

Angus Taylor's desire to criminalise the burning of the Australian flag would open up a legal quagmire and test our commitment to free speech, writes Michael Bradley.
www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/14/a...
Taylor wants to criminalise flag-burning. It shows the Liberals' attachment to free speech is dead
Like it or hate it, flag burning is a very old — and perfectly legitimate — way of expressing opposition to the actions of a nation state.

Extraordinary coincidence that the nation’s leading racist keeps saying racist things
Hanson swiftly condemned for labelling Indigenous Australians 'primitive race'
Politicians from across the divide have condemned Pauline Hanson's remarks about Indigenous Australians, labelling them "vile", "divisive" and "derogatory".

The deep roots of racism. Cartoon from 2020.

#racism #prejudice #past #colonialism
A divided political cartoon illustration. Upper section: A stone statue stands on a cracked pedestal labeled "RACISM." A crowd of protesters below holds signs including "BLACK LIVES MATTER" and pulls the statue down with a rope. Lower section: Beneath the ground, an extensive network of tree-like roots spreads widely, showing the statue's deep underground foundations. The artwork symbolizes that removing racist monuments addresses visible symbols, but the underlying roots of racism remain deeply embedded in society.

From cradle to grave, every single thing in America is about extracting money.
A political cartoon titled "Chasing the capitalist carrot." It depicts a wide-eyed woman with red hair running frantically toward a carrot dangling from a stick attached to her head, representing an unattainable reward. She is reaching out with both hands, completely oblivious to the fact that her path leads directly into an open grave dug in front of her. At the head of the grave stands a tombstone marked with a dollar sign ($), satirizing the lifelong, blind pursuit of financial wealth until death.

Trumpism running out of steam? Cartoon for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl: www.trouw.nl/cartoons/tje...

#Trump #Trumpism #ApprovalRating #USA
A political cartoon depicts a paddle steamer boat labeled 'TRUMPISM', with its stern teetering over the edge of a waterfall. Trumps stands in front at the helm. The vessel has a smokestack billowing dark smoke. The furnace door is open, and a worker with a red MAGA cap is looking at the stack of coal left in a large metal box labeled 'approval rating'; it is as good as empty. At the waterfall edge, a wooden signpost points downward and reads: 'WAR', 'COST OF LIVING', and 'EPSTEIN'.

Whether or not the digital duty of care is good policy is one thing. But pretending the Coalition is against it because of ‘freedom of speech’ or ‘protecting the press’ is delusional - ESPECIALLY from Sarah Henderson www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
Coalition's leading culture warrior ties herself in free-speech knots
Henderson has made a career out of declaring what she believes free speech to be, seeking to squash views she doesn’t personally agree with.

The criminalisation of burning the Australian flag is back on the NewsCorp front pages with a Coalition pledge. George Christensen had a go in 2016 with a private member's bill. Phillip Thompson in 2025 & 2026. John Howard actually opposed criminalising it. #auspol www.theage.com.au/national/pm-...

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli doesn't like to publicly acknowledge his association with Clive Palmer. Public ministerial diaries show the pair meeting 3 times but the agenda remains secret. Palmer has renamed his Waratah Coal to Energy A. #qldpol

Queensland’s richest man, a serial election contender, has complicated ties to the LNP. That hasn’t stopped him getting an audience with David Crisafulli.

"These comments are either a malevolent mischaracterisation of Australia's education system for political gain, or a display of complete ignorance of how the teaching profession operates." Attack on teachers by Angus Taylor & Matt Canavan condemned. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

ABS data shows crime victim numbers have fallen in Queensland but questions remain over how the Crisafulli government has instructed Queensland Police to report domestic & family violence crimes. The premier is currently in Washington DC seeking data centre deals. #qldpol

The Crisafulli govt is middle aged & it's still running Queensland child safety audits. A 2025 audit showing 780 kids missing from the system has vanished. With Amanda Camm on leave Anne Leahy is acting minister. In 2016 she was admonished by parliament for disclosing confidential info. #qldpol
