Media Watch having a go at the woman who claimed Prime Ministers were in a secret paedophile ring. It was treated with surprising credence given the situation in the UK. Media Watch unearthed articles she had previously written that the ring was run by the CIA who received satanic training by Nazi war criminals allowed into Australia.

I remember during the last QLD state election I was visiting family in Brisbane and was reading the Courier Mail. There was an article asking some LNP MP what his vision for public transport was and he literally said flying buses. Possibly nuclear powered flying buses.

The department of foreign affairs, for instance, was steeling itself to welcoming another senior politician into its diplomatic ranks. Right-wing powerbroker and senate leader Eric Abetz, before he was unceremoniously dumped by Turnbull, was being lined up as our ambassador to Berlin. That Abbott project has been quietly shelved.

I like how people say Turnbull is a rags to riches story and that he created his own wealth but his father had a few houses and owned a private plane which eventually killed him in an accident. In political polling I ran into this guy who said he got an @Ozmail email from iinet after he heard Turnbull won the ballot "out of respect for him". Maybe it's something to do with that smile?

The problem in western Brisbane is that the LNP doesn't want to cut some trees down to build a bypass or a ring road in order to not piss off some rich people, so you have the east side of Brisbane with (relatively) good roads and a public transport system but the west side is poo poo unless you have a car. It's not too bad once you are in Indooroopilly or so, but much further out and you just drop right off the loving edge of the world because it's full of conservatives and it's the safest seats. There is literally a ferry over the Brisbane river TYOOL 2015, so the rich people living on the other side can justify living so close to Ipswich. There has unironically been protests to stop the building of a bridge because they are worried criminals will just drive over. There's a slightly longer road which isn't a ferry, so the criminals can just drive there I guess

Human teeth were found in a meal served to an asylum seeker in theManus Island detention centre. The two human teeth were found in a meal served at lunchtime in Oscar compound on Saturday. The asylum seeker photographed the teeth and made a formal complaint to the detention centre managers. “This is the food they give us, always like this, always disgusting,” an asylum seeker, not the complainant, told Guardian Australia. “They treat us like animals, worse than animals.” Transfield Services in Sydney did not return repeated calls and emails from Guardian Australia. But two Transfield staff on Manus Island separately confirmed to Guardian Australia the teeth had been found and a complaint lodged. “We know about that,” one said. “People are talking about it.” It’s not known from whose mouth the teeth came or how they came to be in the food. They appeared to be stained red with betel nut juice: the nut is widely chewed on the island, mixed with powdered lime and mustard stick. It is not the first time teeth have been found in food in the detention centre. In 2013,Amnesty International reported that a tooth had been found in a meal served in the detention centre. And the teeth being found Sunday follows amass outbreak of food poisoning affecting up to 100 asylum seekers and refugees in the detention centre on Friday. Transfield staff initially tried to tell asylum seekers they were struck by gastroenteritis and diarrhoea – all of them on the same day – because they didn’t wash their hands before eating. Staff have since conceded to asylum seekers they were food-poisoned. One asylum seeker told Guardian Australia detention centre staff had told him that since the outbreak, insects had been found in food, and food had been discovered stored in unhygienic conditions. “They are going to have a big meeting to check samples of food everyday from the beginning, such as preparation, loading to distribution and serving. All of this is going to happen tomorrow or the next day.” Hygiene has been a consistent problem on Manus. Soap often runs out in dispensers in toilets, and replacements are slow to come to the island. Toilet paper is also often in short supply, asylum seekers have told Guardian Australia. In January, there was no running water in the detention centre for several days. Transfield management did not respond to questions from Guardian Australia.
