Sad losses of life in Russia during WWII. It amounts to 27 million people. To Australians today, that is everyone you know; gone.

Out of such awful loss the Russians defeat the Nazis. Nazi Operation Barbarossa is a failure & the Russians grind the Wehrmacht into dust.

The apathy of the Crisafulli government is killing Queensland.

This is from August. Australians, can you imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if your state or territory health minister had to be chased down on the streets like this to comment on public health policy? #qldpol

NSW, please be very careful in arming any groups outside of the state government's jurisdiction. Arming of NSW police with long weapons is another discussion. Please consider both subjects very carefully. The NSW parliament is the place for debate. #nswpol https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/dec/28/minns-government-actively-considering-if-jewish-security-group-should-be-armed-after-bondi-attack-ntwnfb

As he did in 2015, Crisafulli government Queensland Leader of the House & MP for Moggill Dr Christian Rowan won't face the Qld people & the Australian people on his death penalty campaign. He cowers & leaves it all to NewsCorp to frame.

You have to get the numbers, son. #qldpol

Campbell Newman's former assistant health minister Dr Chris Davis resigns in May 2014 triggering the Stafford by-election. In June, you guessed it, another Qld Dr Labor's Dr Anthony Lynham hammers home an 18.6% swing. Newman blames Queenslanders. #qldpol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-20/premier-campbell-newman-says-queenslanders-don27t-understand/5610010

2014 in Qld was certainly the year of the doctors. Campbell Newman sacked his assistant health minister Dr Chris Davis. Dr Davis was outspoken against the unfair doctors contracts. He resigned from parliament triggering the Stafford by-election. #qldpol

On 5/03/2014 Queensland's doctors stood up to the Newman government and defied his threat to replace them all. Dr Christian Rowan was the AMA Qld president backing Campbell Newman. This became known as the Pineapple Hotel revolt. #qldpol

In 2014 AMA Qld president Dr Christian Rowan backed Campbell Newman trying to force Qld doctors onto unfair contracts. "Do not doubt the government's resolve," thundered Newman, threatening to replace all. This became the Pineapple Hotel revolt. #qldpol https://youtu.be/3d9J_e4S4N0

How did Dr Christian Rowan become a Qld MP? In Dec 2014 the Newman govt was on its knees. Moggill is one of those old, safe LNP seats & to oust incumbent Dr Bruce Flegg required help. The branch had already decided but then the LNP execs turned up. https://youtu.be/7yZ2mFyygL0

Queensland's vaccination levels have fallen to a 20yr low with the Crisafulli government disinterested to date. The Newman government was poor on public health too. In 2012 they cancelled the whooping cough vaccination program. It led to tragedy. #qldpol https://youtu.be/g_6pPOONerU

Crisafulli government's Dr Christian Rowan who campaigns for death penalty reinstatement is a Royal Australian College of General Practitioners Fellow. The RACGP met with him and other MPs earlier this year in the Queensland parliament. #qldpol https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/professional/doctors-in-the-house-qld-gps-visit-state-parliamen

Trump bombs an empty field. Residents of Jabo, in Sokoto state, in north-west Nigeria were alarmed by the US drone strike. There is no terrorist activity in that part of the country. https://www.ft.com/content/99d23e21-1ca4-4dbc-819d-90449d0040ba

Crisafulli government leader of the house & MP for Moggill, Dr Cristian Rowan, is doing the rounds again trying to get support for the reinstatement of the death penalty after Bondi. It's the same play from 2015. He was once the AMA Qld president. #qldpol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-12/lnp-mp-christian-rowan-calls-death-penalty-in-australia/6935954

Nigeria’s foreign ministry praises the US strikes on IS in the north. It rejects the notion of Christians being persecuted saying all religions face threats from extremists. The country is 53% Muslim, 45% Christian & 2% follow traditional religions.

On the Courier Mail front page today it's been revealed that Queensland vaccination rates are now at a 20 year low with 1 year olds having the worst rate in the country. Neither Jarrod Bleijie or David Crisafulli are leading by example. This was the attitude in August. #qldpol

Prime Minister Tim Wilson? One of the big campaigners for the changing of section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act.
