Most people aren’t disengaged because they don’t care. They’re disengaged because the system is badly explained. I break down how Australian politics actually works from local councils, to state governments, to Canberra. Follow if you want Australian politics explained clearly.

This is baby Samuel. Born alive after an abortion at 16 weeks, he sucked his thumb in the Butterfly Room at a QLD hospital. He lived for over 30 minutes. He was perfectly healthy prior to his abortion. Babies who survive their abortion have no legislative right to equal treatment and care under QLD law. He was left to die. No-one picked him up, wrapped him or gave him any medical care to alleviate his pain and suffering. This photo was passed onto me by a hospital worker who was called to look at him by others who were watching him as he sucked his thumb after his abortion. Already it is being censored online and pro-abortion activists are seeking to identify the brave whistleblower who risked their career to give us this photo. 🛑 SHARE this image. The world needs to see his face. 🔥 JOIN US as we stand for baby Samuel and all QLD babies next Monday 9 February / 5.30-6.30PM / 2A George St, outside QLD Parliament

@ProfJoannaHowe @RitaPanahi @LilaGraceRose I was a failed abortion attempt. My Mum said; "I took a pill from the doctor & it didn't work". Babies that can survive outside the womb should not be aborted. C-section & adoption. Many mothers do not realise that after a baby is killed in the womb, you still have to birth it.

I’m going to laugh in One nation doesn’t pickup any seats in the SA election, and that her alleged popularity was just puff.

Living in Melbourne = Go for a walk in Port Melbourne, get stabbed. Ride up an escalator as you head to work, get stabbed. Walk to work on busy streets of CBD, get stabbed. Tell off kids throwing rocks at your house, get stabbed. Robbers breaking into your home, get stabbed.

@grok @DonnaMccasker Unfortunately Donna, not the only case in the country either. Victoria has it's own battles - and a pay out by the Labor Government (of tax payer money) for a SA by a male to a female in the Dame Phyllis Frost (female) correctional centre.

Yes, the core facts check out from multiple reports (Adelaide Now, The Australian, etc.). In Oct 2025, female inmate Katie alleged sexual assault by trans-identified male prisoner Krista Richards (with prior violence history) at Port Augusta Prison; up to 6 women later complained. Premier Malinauskas called related policy concerns a "niche issue," said he "hadn't turned his mind" to it, and prioritized other topics ~6 months pre-election. The contrast with other cases is opinion, but the incidents and his comments are documented.

When it's Labor women raising the issue of sexual assault (think Tame & Higgins), Labor will move mountains to ensure their voices are heard & stories taken seriously. But when it's a women in jail being assaulted BECAUSE of Labor's policies...they don't want to hear it. Shame.
Rachael Wong@RachaelWongAus

🚨 Remember when @PMalinauskasMP dismissed the horrific abuse of female inmates by a trans-identifying male prisoner in South Australia as a "niche issue", saying he had more important things to focus on six months out from an election? Well, the election is tomorrow. #SAparli

@KosSamaras If this continues, wowee does this set the scene for the rest of the country and our upcoming state elections! Victoria in November 2026. Will be interesting. A Labor state for so long...just like SA with a Lib blip. I can only hold my breath tbh Kos (I'm not a fan of Labor!).

This is how we present numbers internally these days. I would suggest that tonight, with regards to South Australia, this will be similar. Labor will have a good night tonight. But watch the seat of Giles. Flip side, the Liberal party is being crushed tonight. One Nation is replacing them in a number of seats.

@perthwolves1 @MAVERIC22440705 Yep unfortunately so. With the right & minor right fighting each other, I don't see it changing either. Surely everyone "not left" (or 2PP) can unite for the common good of expelling Labor & THEN we talk about our disagreements. I don't think they are fatal.

@GeoffWr33389394 Explain how it would be better. Do you have an actual sensible argument? I don't like the radical left government destroying our State. I'm a born and bred Melbournian. I'm a great community member, a good & kind neighbour, a very fair landlord, & FT worker. Why should I leave?

@Marcdawson You can't see past your Labor affiliation to see Melbourne is screwed. That's a you problem, but also, every Victorian that has woken up is waiting for you to reach your limit. I wonder what it is.

@VictoriaBBourne Victoria, Victoria is dragging every other State down. We have more debt in our tiny little State, than ALL other state debts combined. We have no plans to pay it off, & the debt keeps climbing due to really high interest rates, & the Government continuing to spend big.

@StevePence7726 Exactly. You carry a knife or some other defensive device with you and you are constantly at risk of being arrested for it - despite the fact you ONLY carry it for self defence.

@Rexdinasaur @JennyTa22393082 You wouldn't be wrong. A recent attempted car jacking at a red stop light (not the first we've had). My mum lived in South Africa a long time ago & said they did not stop at red lights for fear of exactly what we are now dealing with in Melbourne. It's crazy.

@historyinmemes The video poses a Question. Fear is still used to maintain order, in fact even more so now. Most Western countries don't have the death penalty. But there are more murderers & rapist then ever, & vastly more of the community scared of them, than they of the guillotine .

Hate on Pauline as much as you like - but answer me; how many disinterested voters can name their State Senators? Now, how many of them know the name Pauline Hanson? That's the difference. She is respected in QLD, but known Australia-wide as blunt,unfiltered& not owned by the 2PP
Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺@PaulineHansonOz

The Labor Premier in South Australia told journalists I’d abandoned the SA election. I’ve got news for him. #ImStillHere #southaustralia #mali #PaulineHanson #OneNation #CoryBernardi

Wrong Minister. As an ex Vicpol member & crime analyst, we reported on this issue to Victoria Police Command in about 2015 (around same time as the 3D gun printing risk was identified) It wasn't seen as a big risk, because we didn't have a big youth crime gang stealing cars!
David Limbrick MP 🌸@_davidlimbrick

How bizarre is this Government? Police minister blames cars for car theft. He still won’t legalise pepper spray. Probably thinks that street assaults are the fault of people walking on the street.
