Time for a fun twitter poll. What do you think the collective IQ of the Journalists at the Andrews pressers is?

@AmyRemeikis Has Morrison announced us sending them assistance? I remember them asking

@DrAnthonyLynham @QLDLabor Great contribution Anthony and a totally understandable decision. Enjoy your return to “normal life,” whatever that is

I will not be recontesting the seat of Stafford at the upcoming election. It has been an honour to serve as a @QLDLabor MP. As I told Parliament, I cannot maintain my medical registration & give 100% to this job. And the people of Stafford & Queensland deserve 100% . #qldpol

Glimpse of the real Scott Morrison today in his dumping on Victoria to gain political distance ....reminds me of his forging an amendment to a piece of legislation in my name and presenting to me as a demand to support ..when I refused he told me to get f...ed. Premiers beware.

If my doctor tells me to eat less cheese cos it lowers my cholesterol, I’ll do it. If my Physio tells me to swim more often cos it helps my back, I’ll do it. If the Chief Medical Officer has an opinion on how to deal with Covid, I listen. Cos they probably know more than me.

Any research they commission MUST be truly independent of government and assess all of the risks associated with uranium. If the @GladysB Government has any sense, it’ll steer clear of uranium mining and nuclear power. 2/2

For now, the @NSWLiberals_RB and @NSWNationals have made the right decision to back away from a bill to lift the ban on uranium mining in NSW. However they're still trying to push the state to allow these radioactive, carcinogenic mines and are commissioning research. 1/2

Don’t ever forget who’s got us through this. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

In response to the Queensland State Government’s announcement of $145 m for three new Renewable Energy Zones, The ETU has called on the Government to guarantee future renewable energy generation projects are built, owned, and operated by the State Government. @Not4SaleQLD

MEDIA RELEASE: @NSWNationals Party members are betraying their constituents if they overturn the uranium mining ban in NSW. Please share urgently if you don't support a uranium mine in your area. @NSW_ETU @AusConservation @unionsaustralia @nuclearban @aus_politics

If you are the Minister responsible for aged care the number of ppl who have died from Covid19 should be the number one thing that it at the top of your mind! It seems to me he doesn't go to sleep every night thinking about it

I can’t help thinking about the aged care workers who were left almost alone to care for very sick residents. 1 worker for 19 ppl. They would have had to be so brave and dedicated to work in such stressful & traumatic circumstances. They are heroes.

Covid didn’t break the aged care system, It exposed a broken system.And the Liberals trying to blame Daniel Andrews for that is extraordinary.Morrison as PM and Treasurer starved it of funding and removed transparency.The title of gov report ‘Neglect’ is a damning indictment.

Today is #NationalTAFEDay, and the time to recognise how important this educational institute is to our past, current and future workforce. #keepitpublic @AEUfederal

Happy National TAFE day! I got to spend my morning with @etuqldnt apprentices which is a great way to kick off a day all about protecting TAFE and saving skills! 🙏👏

Fox News is now running ads for QAnon Trumpy Bears. This is not a parody.

By the way the 1918 flu pandemic started in 1918, not 1917. World War 2 ended in 1945. And for some reason it's the Trump Campaign that's trying to run on mental fitness.

Oops. If you can't spell it, how can you deliver on it? #FAIL @gracextwo

What a marathon and what a great win. Finally a bit of justice for the MV Portland crew.

Yet @DebFrecklington is the one who is preferencing the Greens to help them win another seat...
