  Living The Dream from Something to Somewhere Else in Qld

  May 13, 20261h 7m

  Living the Dream is back! Jon and Dave are trying to work out what’s going on with the Crisafulli/ Janetzki Queensland state government. Why is it criminalising simply speaking up against the genocide in GAZA? Why is it criminalising children? What’s its plan for capitalism in Queensland? Why has it launched a commission against the CFMEU? How is it balancing the culture war hunger of its aging base against the need to win elections and manage society? And what does this all mean for those of us committed to emancipation? Stuff we reference includes: Inflation & the Cost of Living Crisis Field Notes Could the Liberals’ Deakinite dilemma reshape the party system? Frank Bongiorno Antony Loewenstein Podcast Queensland’s renewable energy ‘whiplash’: how the shift from coal stalled in Australia’s most polluting state The LNP’s phrase-banning law is wide open to constitutional attack. Is it a victory for the people, or a smart political play? Anne Twomey
