Scott McIntyre probs should've read the SBS social media policy,

lol, phone suggested SBD for SBS

Scott McIntyre basically otm though

I mean, I'd never heard of him, but now I'd trust him more as a reporter - and violating audience trust is what he was fired for.

Turnbull personally dobbed him in to SBS management!

keep fighting for the progressive cause, malc

"Dear Kids: I'm gay, Love Dad"

imagine being such a hateful bigot that you'll put your own prime ministership in danger just to stop your sister getting married. only the most callous, most revolting subhuman bag of shit.

"uh uh yeah vote for uh us if you're against same sex marriage but uh vote for uh us if you uh are and uh we'll uh have a plebiscite at uh some uh time in the uh future"

"um uh actually uh I'm not uh sure how the uh Australian uh constitution uh works"

"uh I'm so a uh bigot"

fucking gobshite

even by recent standards this is legitimately depressing

the party when this guy dies will make thatcher's death look like tea on the lawn

If you hang around in Canberra long enough, you start to recognise the point where a government has become terminal, where the death spiral is irretrievable. It's got nothing to do with the polls, or leadership rumblings.

It's the point where the sheer stupidity of its decisions is so obvious, so craven, so contradictory, that everyone involved – ministers, backbenchers, the opposition, the media, voters – just know it can't go on like this.

just imagine

just fucking imagine

btw i feel this qualifies uniquely as zeitgeist more than anything this week
