It's OK to be White and other dogwhistles - the Australian politics thread

How the fuck did Sarah Hanson-Young get a salmon that big into the Senate chamber? No idea what security were doing but maybe they should get her to stock the fish markets for Easter.

The “No use of props” rule should be thrown out if you’re smuggling a 1m* prop into the chamber.
*Measurement based on catching a fish “this big”.

The Greens bought the farmed Tasmanian salmon at a Costco store in Canberra and Hanson-Young concealed it under newspaper copies of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age as she carried it into the Senate chamber.

How many fucking newspapers did she carry to cover up a 1m fish? And how the hell did no one realise something smelt fishy??

The reactions in this picture are just fantastic…

They’re all fucking sitting behind her. Did they JUST notice she had a 1m fucking salmon when she stood up?

3rd May. Vote Quimby or Kodos or Sideshow Bob.

Not sure I agree with the tax cuts, but immediately coming out and saying you’ll repeal them is an interesting position to take into the election.

Tax cuts themselves are fine, its a small nudge of a lever towards more equitable outcomes. Pretty much everything else in the budget was biege as fuck however.

I just love that we have labour campaigning on tax cuts that the LNP want to repeal, while the LNP is campaigning for forcing gas companies to reserve stocks by order of the government. It’s like we’re in the Upside Down

And surprising literally nobody, Trutton’s nuclear power plant in Queensland wouldn’t have access to enough water for emergency cooling and nor is there any viable plan for storing contaminated water in case of an emergency.

At this stage Dutton just needs to follow the Trump playbook. Promise the world and then claim he didn’t do any of it.

Dutton doesn’t even have control of his own party. Quite a few LNP MPs have come out criticising how little policy there actually is and they pretty much have nothing to sell the electorate. Not to mention they have failed to deliver much consistency on many of their messages.

Wake up babe, a new aus politics meme just dropped

Straight from the Angus Taylor playbook.

When the admin forgets to switch to the concerned citizen account.

He’s gone the “blame it on the intern” route

Why is his intern pretending to be a new constituent anyway? Even if it were even vaguely close to the truth it still says “I am (or my team is) making shit up”
