We need to start sending these cunts back to the Stone Age. Queensland could be first but they seem to be blinded by the fight against a racist bogey man that doesn’t exist “youth crime”
It's not Queenslanders, it's decades of education to trust the media. Critical thinking is taught at school (only in History electives though) but seldom applied to politics. Abortion isn't the only thing we might lose to "youth crime", we'll lose democracy and clean energy
Agree, I wasn’t picking on Queenslanders (this time) just that they have an election coming up where abortion right are very much on the line
I'm a Queenslander and I think the LNP will win, cannot decide on the margin. I'm interested to see if the Greens take some inner Brisbane seats off of Labor, to reflect the last federal election. I live in an area that is largely pro-liberal (Gold Coast) so I doubt my electorate will swing in this election, but it will be interesting.
Labor are running attack ads about abortion and Crisafulli failed to say what his stance was on abortion in the latest debate. He also doesn't want to comment on Nuclear.
If the Libs win, I hope they go full Newman again and get kicked out after one term. I'm not exactly enamoured with QLD Labor but bloody hell anything is better than the toxic Libs in this state.
If only you could see the 'newspapers' in Queensland, every other front page has 'young crims' scaremongering and they make it sound like Townsville and such are hellholes where people are terrorised by young criminals day and night without reprieve.
Weird how the LNP's only answer to this is 'adult crime, adult time'. Like, literally, zero policies on how to prevent youth crime, how to help children with better education and more perspectives for their future. Nothing. Just harsher punishments.
