State MP for Miller & former Minister for Transport, Main Roads, Energy, Digital Services, Cross River Rail, Ports, Biofuels, Water Supply & Road Safety.
Queenslanders are not confused. They are very clear.
They do not want to die from the COVID virus due to the snail paced rollout of the vaccine from our slow to act PM
@ScottMorrisonMP
They don’t want the massive outbreak in NSW to happen in Queensland.
@tedcruz
No you don’t & we don’t stand with you. Australians support their strong state leaders who have led the most effective response to COVID worldwide
Texas has botched its response with nearly 70,000 deaths vs Australia on 1448.
If you stood with us, you’d have learnt from us.
Again the
@couriermail
is printing false information.
Today they’ve reported I’m a property investor.
I am not.
I am paying off the house I live in, the only property I own.
Their George St Beat ‘story’ is also entirely fictional.
I’ve requested an apology & correction.
On Tues, Qld Rail received an email from the supplier which stated:
“The order you had in with us for 20,000 rapid antigen test kits was at the Sydney Airport.
Unfortunately the sponsor of the product has decided that (even though these were fully paid for)… 1/2
🚨 Important QR RAT update 🚨
After more than a week of denials and lies we‘ve found out where the Orawell rapid antigen tests (the same product Qld Rail ordered) have gone - they are in the hands of the Morrison Government
There are at least five suppliers who state 1/4…
Stuffed up vaccine order.
Stuffed up quarantine.
Stuffed up getting enough Rapid Antigen Tests.
Stuffed up making RAT tests free.
Stuffed up booster rollout.
But heaps of time to hang out at the cricket in middle of surging Omicron wave 🙄
Slow clap for
@ScottMorrisonMP
…
Deaths from COVID passed the 700,000 mark in the US overnight 😔
Deaths in Queensland? 7
Effective leadership by
@AnnastaciaMP
& Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young has kept Qlders safe
They’ve achieved this by acting on health advice & Qlders support that continuing.
I’ve been advised the Morrison Govt is refusing to send Transport Ministers the traditional Deputy Prime Minister letter
@Barnaby_Joyce
outlining budget details including detail of year by year forwards breakdowns of all projects.
The detail is being hidden & must be released!
BREAKING:
@ScottMorrisonMP
has rejected co-funding with Queensland a $771m Flood Resilience Package to help Qld flood victims to raise houses, buy back & build back better.
Billions for a dam without a business case & cancelling submarines but abandons Qlders in need.

Fed Govt takes 34,000 RATs from Qld Rail;
I’m incredibly disappointed to confirm a 2nd order of rapid antigen tests bound for QR has been commandeered by the Morrison Government.
Last week 19,000 tests were taken from a supplier, now another supplier has told us… 1/2
You have to feel for all those News Corp rusted on customers who swallowed more a decade + of anti action on climate change mantra, only to have awoken to find, overnight, it was all wrong & action really is needed
Confusion not certainty reigns today in News Corp readership 🤔
@TisErni
@PSyvret
Yep… Morrison LNP Government failed to order Rapid Antigen Tests & now when it’s a fully blown crisis as a result, they are hoovering up the tests ordered by people@ who did think ahead. Incredible 🙄

All of this is down to

Dan Andrews is one of the giants of Australian politics.
Brilliant, strong leader including during the pandemic which saved countless lives in Victoria during very tough times.
One of the great Premiers and he’ll be much missed, not just by Victorians.
It’s hard to see how Federal Speaker Tony Smith can continue in his role given Morrison Govt’s 52-49 repudiation of his ruling of Christian Porter referral to the Privileges Committee for investigation in relation to his ‘blind trust’
It’s a vote of no confidence in the Speaker
Queensland and other states won’t be lectured to by
@ScottMorrisonMP
who continually & frequently demanded we open the borders last year early in the pandemic when no vaccine was yet available.
Stop with the lies PM… you’ve undermined the state’s strong health response often.
4/4…with a big money procurement offer of $26.29 million that a supplier couldn’t refuse given the massive profit margin offered.
One thing is certain, the Morrison Government now has a multi-million-dollar stockpile of rapid antigen tests, &the dozens of doctors, chemists…
@DebFrecklington

No-one should listen to any of your advice on borders Deb after you & yr LNP colleagues demanded Qld open our borders relentlessly which was reckless & irresponsible

2/4… their RAT stock was taken by the Morrison Government, & the one thing they all have in common is the same product, that being the Orawell Covid-19 rapid antigen test.
There is only one sponsor of this product into Australia and that is a company called Motion One…
3.5/4 “extreme urgency or events unforeseen”
This is almost exactly the same language used by the suppliers over the last few weeks to explain where the stock has gone.
Either the Morrison Govt has commandeered the stock using emergency powers, or they’ve swooped in late…
3/4 A Morrison Govt tender quietly published on Jan 18 reveals Motion One filled the Morrison Government’s “extreme urgency” order for $26.29 million.
Within this Morrison Govt tender is Clause 10 3.b which provides an exemption to usual procurement processes due to…
It’s very clear a re-elected Morrison-Barnaby Government would shepherd Christian Porter straight back into the Cabinet given active support by Acting Prime Minister

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will go down in Queensland history as one of the most extraordinary leaders and Premiers we’ve seen.
To go from 7 MP’s out of 89 in 2012 to being Premier for three terms and nearly nine years leading our state is so far beyond what seemed possible.
… a 2nd order of 15,000 tests has been commandeered by the Morrison Govt.

So SloMo trails the world getting vaccines for Australia, throws a lot of what they have at the disaster of NSW where he opposed short sharp lockdowns and now picks fights with effective state Premiers calling their states cave dwellers.
You couldn’t make this stuff up 😳
It takes extraordinary commitment to stupidity for
@LNPQLD
fed leaders Littleproud &
@PeterDutton_MP
to reject a global shift to the cheapest form of power - renewables, when Australia has the best solar resources in the world.
Their economic credibility is neanderthal.
What an embarrassing piece of drivel.
Trying to compare an actual wall built by Trump on Mexican border to Qld’s border controls that’s been world leading stopping COVID-19 spread is puerile 🙄
In Queensland we listen to & act on health advice from our Chief Health Officer and allow her to answer questions regularly.
That’s a key reason why our state under
@AnnastaciaMP
has kept Queenslanders safe.
BREAKING: I have confirmed Dr Chant did not endorse this new roadmap. The Chief Health Officer warned the new Premier these changes come with risk, but the decision was ultimately a matter for the government. A shift from Perrottet away from “the health advice.”
@9NewsAUS
Deb Frecklington would have opened borders "months ago" says NSW Premier
@GladysB
Exactly & risked a 2nd wave smashing Qld jobs just like in Victoria.
Qld doesn’t need a weak leader who ignores health advice in a pandemic.

Eight years of blocking action on climate change and being proud of it has been the hallmark of this federal Coalition government.
On the eve of an election, they’re cobbling together a net zero policy because they’re desperate.
It’s just more Morrison spin.
