We’ve done it, we got rid of another soulless right wing politician!
Peter Dutton first made his party lose this election and now also lost his own seat much like Pierre Pullover
We’ve still got a government that green-lit new coal power plants in it’s last term, screwed over the Aboriginal community with a poorly run referendum, and still doesn’t give a shit about climate change, but baby steps hey.
I’m glad our fuck up in the US is inspiring others to step back from the edge. It’s at least a silver lining I can console myself with while everything crumbles around me.
I think it wasn’t so much your fuck-up, as much as an opportunist fuckwit thinking he could emulate that style and that it would work here without the decades of groundwork that made enough people stupid enough to fall for it.
The front fell off.
That’s not very typical.
