You know your steroid medication is working when it’s 3.45am, it’s the fourth sleepless night in a row, and even Temazepam won’t make you sleepy. Beats brain swelling, I guess, but sheesh.
After reading through the government's proposed gas legislation, I agree with those that are saying this is the worst energy policy in the world.
It is a dog's breakfast that is rushed, poorly drafted, unclear in key areas and will destroy investment.

@lindawhitten76 There are nearly 250,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Queensland, so I don’t think of any us can claim a mandate to speak on behalf of all us here.
@MickGooda Nope but I did sit down & yarn with a helluva lot more than 1200 of them. Out of the hand picked delegates you lot have speaking for all of us, how many truly represented their people? Did any of them have a mandate to speak or consent on behalf of anyone but themselves?
Those pushing the voice are no different to Price & Mundine. They're all privileged blacks who haven't consulted with, or gotten consent from, their peoples yet still they speak over us, with NO right too! Price isn't supported by Murris but neither is the voice! #GamilMeansNO
@Iaminfbgaoltoo@MissPolly62@The_Nationals Wow, Aboriginal people need your protection. I think we have had enough of Protectors in Australia, go away and read some history
@MissPolly62@The_Nationals No they don't, who said they did.
There are potentially thousands that do not vote in in the bush or partake in census.
They are the people that need protecting the most, yet no one represents them.
The Nationals believe a Voice to Parliament will not help with the real issues our Indigenous communities are facing. We need practical, tangible measures to Close the Gap.
@RustyRoggers@AnnOneTwoThree@The_Nationals Rusty, mate, have a read of section 51(26) of the Constitution, it’s had race in it since Federation began. Edmund Barton said this clause was needed to: “regulate the affairs of the people of coloured or inferior races who are in the Commonwealth". Who would have guessed hey!
@AnnOneTwoThree@The_Nationals Any attempt to put race back into our constitution where one race or culture has differing power to the majority is wrong. We will be back to having a racist constitution.
@ask_aubry FIFA must be the most corrupt, immoral, misogynistic bunch of enablers in world sport for allowing their own staff to be subject to one of the most corrupt, immoral, misogynistic governments in the world.
Dan Andrews is a power-hungry tyrant, without compassion or accountability.
If Labor wins office today, it’s a sign that Democracy is dead in Australia, and that fear, control and propaganda are the formula for success, when running for political office.
’m at the Lilac Hill cricket ground for the WBBL match between the Scorchers and Strikers and the crowd just observed a minute’s silence for Cassius Tracey. Respect
