Queensland government cuts Environmental Defenders Office funding despite pre-election promise for support

"The service that we provide is sometimes inconvenient for powerful vested interests...There were countless examples of free legal advice the EDO had provided to individuals, landholders, First Nations groups and community groups to help them combat the interests of developers, mining companies and governments."

@vibewire let AI be the judge of the so called independent radio shill....

Ben Fordham, an Australian radio presenter, tends to lean towards conservative viewpoints, reflecting a more right-leaning or centre-right political persuasion. He often supports traditional values and has been vocal about his stance on issues such as law and order, the economy, and national security, aligning with the views typically associated with the Liberal Party of Australia. However, like many media personalities, his views can sometimes shift depending on the topic, and he has expressed moderate or centrist opinions on certain social issues.

NB: A "shill" refers to someone who promotes or endorses a product, service, or idea in a deceptive or insincere manner, often because they are secretly being paid or have a vested interest in it. The term is commonly used in contexts where the person appears to be an unbiased supporter or customer but is actually working to manipulate public perception or influence others for personal gain or profit. It is frequently used in political or media contexts to describe individuals who seem to act in the interests of a particular group, corporation, or ideology.

You don't have to like the #government of the #DPRK to acknowledge that they're a #country of millions of people with a much broader existence than just their government, or that they have been mercilessly #oppressed by the #UnitedStates and its #PuppetRegime and #RegionalAllies for their entire existence, or that the US has a #VestedInterest in #lying to you about #NorthKorea and keeping truth away from you.

@PaulWay Sorry to burst your bubble, but #Airbnb isn't a local startup. Any political party opposing a tax on a multinational has a clear #vestedinterest

There's one virus in #Australia and it's #bureaucrats like this one:
