Please, Australia, don’t be stupid enough to buy into this Trojan horse #auspol

I would suggest every Australian lodge a complaint with a demand for an explanation to the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne.
The complaint form can be found here: https://www.rch.org.au/form/
For reference, the person who submitted the complaint called The Greens "Green Nazis" and has a history of posting vile stuff online:
Complaint letter emerges after Melbourne hospital’s decision to cancel ‘children and war’ panel angers staff

Last federal election narrative: Australians profoundly reject the right wing call. They are a bulwark against the world wide drift to the alt right. My view: the dramatic incompetence of the Liberal Party distorts the vote. Australia is not exceptional at all. The danger is real. #auspol

One of the world’s leading climate scientists has urged Australia, and the world, to go “full sail” on decarbonisation, arguing that the scale of climate events already show that we are in “a place we’d rather not be.” #Auspol#ClimateChange#Australia

Being a progressive Australian voter is more and more frustrating, imo.
Labor continues its now decades-long efforts to be the most mediocre, least effective, do-nothing party afraid of its own shadow. Their rusteds are deaf to critique and quick to anger.
The Greens persist in never having learned the lesson that being the finger-wagging, purse-lipped party of telling people they are wrong and stupid (they're right, but they are deeply terrible at conducting actual politics) makes no friends and plenty of enemies. Their supporters are a fractured mob, each wanting their own micro-issue to be the most important thing, and righteous in a way that's off-putting; no wonder the party can't win more seats in various parliaments.
The Democrats are long done.
The other minor progressive parties all have some weird off-putting agenda, or are single-issue whackjobs.
There seems to be a tiny handful of very good progressive independents, who while all smart, considered, and ethical, won’t ever make more than small differences - Haines, Pocock, Wilkie, Payman.

It took HIV/AIDS and COVID-19, but we look to be getting our own Australian Centre for Disease Control.
About bloody time!
This is a damned good move. Having to rely on state-run operations has led to fragmented responses and confusion. Some things need to be centralised at a federal level, and this is one such.
The fact that it's initials might be ACDC is a bonus 😁

Australian Border Force have stopped $11.4 million worth of methamphetamines entering Australia from the U.S.
"The 62-year-old was stopped by Australian Border Force (ABF) officers when touching down at Brisbane Airport on a flight from Los Angeles on September 5."
Gee America, looks like you have a big drugs problem, I guess we'll have to put sanctions and tariffs on you..

”Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.”
@thisismissem Lots of Politicians & the public thought it was a great idea when credit cards banned gambling expenditure (eg when I try & buy my Powerball tickets) & forced to use a debit card (that they still earn from anyway I presume) & this is the next phase of them enforcing morals onto our credit usage - it should be stopped though as none of their business #AusPol
