A ‘globally significant’ bank of biosamples from a study into the immune effects of Covid vaccines is set to be destroyed, two years after the award-winning research project was defunded by the Queensland Government.
Intended “to better understand the short, medium and long-term impacts of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines in Queensland,” the QoVAX Safety and Efficacy Statewide Study boasted 10,000 adult participants across 86% of postcodes, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, generating over 100,000 biospecimens and 11 million data points.
“It’s a terrible example of research wastage and loss of a globally significant opportunity to realise benefits and generate knowledge through research based on the unique samples provided by the 10,000 Queenslanders who gave consent and participated,” Professor Davies, who heads up the Allergy Research Group at QUT, told Canberra Daily.

Capitalism is not a civilised, humane economic system as it cannot provide basic needs to all. Time to install full socialism and house Clivosaurus in a tent as an instructive experience. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/apr/12/wheres-the-human-dignity-as-bulldozers-roll-in-this-is-the-face-of-a-queensland-crisis-ntwnfb #auspol #qldpol #homelessness
The Guardian · ‘Where’s the human dignity?’ As bulldozers roll in, this is the face of a Queensland crisis
You'd think that after all the money that developers have funnelled into #MoretonBay over the years, council might greenlight more humane—and durable—solutions to the #housing crisis.
But no. Apparently, property values in (checks notes) #DBay are more important.

By Kenji Sato
Homeless woman Carol Ross says council workers gave her one hour to remove her personal belongings from her tent before they loaded it onto the back of a garbage truck.

Since the LNP first introduced the draconian and outrageously dangerous Adult Crime, Adult Time legislation, Sisters Inside have spoken out against its inherent injustice
‘The Queensland Government cannot continue to ignore the fact that this punitive approach will only cause more harm. Evidence from around the world shows that treating children as adults in the criminal legal system increases recriminalisation and perpetuates cycles of violence and disadvantage. These policies are not about public safety—they are about political expediency, fearmongering, and the continued criminalisation of Aboriginal children,’ Debbie Kilroy

Brisbane city council has pulled funding for a music awards after winner used her acceptance speech to denounce #genocide, while the conservative LNP Queensland state government also considers withdrawal of financial support.
Jazz composer and pianist #KelleeGreen used her acceptance speech at the #2025QueenslandMusicAwards to speak of the suffering of #Palestinian civilians and to support peaceful protest against Australian government complicity in selling weapons to Israel (in contravention of obligations under international law, including a specific injunction by the #InternationalCourtOfJustice).
The claim by the council is that her speech was 'divisive'.
Treating opposition to genocide as #divisive is (implicitly or explicitly) to normalise being pro-genocide as a legitimate political stance.
Normalising support for genocide is itself a crime under #InternationalLaw.
By only ever punishing anti-genocide speech, and never those who express unqualified support for a genocidal regime (or who even seek to justify its extreme violence through appeal to a 'right to defend itself'), political authorities send the clear message that we ought to be tolerant of those who support exterminative violence and intolerant of those who oppose it.
Never.

Brisbane council pulls funding from music awards after winner gives anti-genocide acceptance speech.
If being anti-genocide is criticised as 'divisive', then being pro-genocide is being normalised, which is itself a crime under international law.

Right on cue, LNP-dominated #Brisbane City Council sacrifices ratepayers in petty tilt to embarrass Labor in key #ausvotes2025 seats even if it means costing Brisvegans thousands $ in power bills. Same council blocked school for inner west. #qldpol #auspol #renewables #CostOfLivingCrisis #RyanVotes

I have no problem with “adult crime, adult crime”, except when applied to children. Then it’s total nonsense, totally racist nonsense in the main. #qldpol
Saw a bro yesterday driving a #Tesla with the sticker "Proudly powered by Queensland coal". He really wanted to make sure no-one thought that concern for the environment was any part of the decision to drive an electric car.

No one seems to have the courage to flood-proof #Brisbane.
We need a moonshot. Something like how the Japanese are flood-proofing Tokyo.
It will be money well spent. Future generations will thank us.
