Voting in the Queensland election starts today. Please don't make Queensland the laughing stock of the nation again.
David Crisafulli is a right-wing nutjob, just like Campbell Newman and Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Can anyone remember those crazy times?

Objectively correct description. Abbott is a dud

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

Sensible. The man has a brain like a broken washing machine.

[jackie cooper @UmeCooper]

Not to mention approving more coal mines.

What has happened to the Labor parliamentary Left?
Supporting AUKUS, accusing opponents of appeasement, ignoring an out of control extreme RW Israeli govt and justifying the bombing, death and destruction of children and civilians as legitimate defence. The silence is deafening!

🧵 Just 15% of people wearing N95 masks could drastically reduce COVID in our community. We don’t need everyone to mask up for it to make a big difference—here’s why.👇

1The Power of a Small Group:
We don’t need 100% compliance to stop COVID in its tracks. If just 15% of the community wore N95 masks, we could drastically reduce the spread. That’s 1 out of every 7 people making a difference for everyone. 🌍💡

2How Collective Action Works:
Think of it like pulling on a rope in a tug-of-war. The more people on your side, the easier it is to win. With even 15% of the community masking, we create enough resistance to slow down and squash COVID transmission.

3The Impact of 15% Masking (Based on Forecast):
This forecast shows that at 15% N95 mask compliance, infection rates could be cut by 40-50%. That’s massive—imagine cutting the spread of an infectious disease in half, with only a small portion of the population masking up!

4Empower Yourself to Protect Others:

You don’t need to wait for everyone else to act. Be part of the 15% who make a real difference. Your choice to wear an N95 helps protect you, your family, and the community, especially those most at risk.

5A Small Action with Big Results:
It doesn’t take much—just a few more people masking up can prevent hundreds of thousands of infections. That’s fewer sick days, fewer long-term effects, and fewer people in hospitals. It’s a win for everyone.

6Why Empowering 15% Works:
COVID spreads through the air, and masks act as barriers. The more barriers we have (even if it’s only 15% of people), the harder it is for the virus to spread and take hold.

7Think of the Collective Benefit:
This isn’t just about you. It’s about what we can do together. If 15% of us mask up, we protect the elderly, those with health conditions, and people who can’t mask up themselves. That’s community care.

8The Road Ahead:
We don’t need everyone to mask, but we need enough of us to take action. Being part of the 15% could squash the next wave of COVID, keep our schools open, and allow us to live safer, healthier lives.

So let’s start small and build from there. Be part of the 15% who care enough to act and help squash COVID before it spreads. #MaskUp #COVID19 #CommunityAction

The gist of this thread is that plenty more people would donate blood if they have Covid safe measures like clean air and masking. Also surely the large numbers of sick people and those with LC must also be impacting the final pool

[jackie cooper @UmeCooper]

Too scared to donate blood because they do not mask or filter the air. This 👇

[jackie cooper @UmeCooper]

Steven, why aren’t you wearing an N 95? Leadership should model right behaviour. The pandemic continues to rage and yet government says meh. Lives at risk. Long covid. Please do better.

[Steven Miles @StevenJMiles]

On my way to work. Happy 50 cent fare day!

Reminder: No public health body said that COVID has gone away, they've just made you think it's safer to get reinfected repeatedly, which is false, and contrary to their own warnings, statements, and published data. It's doublespeak to make you prop up the economy with your life.

The latest chapter of the G̵a̵s̵ ̵F̵i̵r̵e̵d̵ ̵R̵e̵c̵o̵v̵e̵r̵y̵ Future Gas Strategy is opening the Beetaloo to be fracked.

I'm calling on Enviro Minister to intervene to stop this.

We need a plan for the future of the people & places we love, not a destructive & dying industry.

« Did you know that COVID is nothing like the flu, and yearly vaccines can’t keep up with its rapid mutations?
How about the fact that 90% of Long COVID cases come from mild or asymptomatic infections? »
