The Australian Zeitgeist Tracking Thread

guess which former prime minister today suggested that english colonisation (and the associated open air prison) was good for indigenous people (what with all the murdering and the massacres and the smallpox and the loss of their lands and cultures and the stolen generation and the lack of representation and the continual racism today and the continual high imprisonment rates and the continual low life expectancy)

you'll never guess

clue: it actually wasn't the ghost of Edward 'Toby Tosspot' Barton

jug-eared bloke, recently headbutted?

- people getting shirty about the hottest100 being moved forget it wasnt on Oz day when it first started up

apparently there was a cabinet which contained files about a cabinet and the files in the cabinet about a cabinet got leaked in what’s called “the cabinet files” and the cabinet got angry about the cabinet and now the files in the cabinet about the cabinet are safely back inside the cabinet and i have not followed any of this

Malcolm rocked a hot pink tie to the joint press conference with trump although I can’t believe it didn’t turn brown considering how far up trumps arse he was.

he's always up somebody's arse

malcolm tunnelbum

malcolm: we have had a lot of success with guns not killing everyone but I would not be so presumptuous to advise our american friends this

also malcolm: yes mr trump reducing corporate tax rates are a good idea, I am onto this

This was the week I learned that the name of the Australian ambassador to the U.S. is Joe Hockey.

Which is strange, because I thought that was our ambassador from Canada.

he’s a fuckwit too

he’s the guy who said poor people don’t drive cars

More like Bull Hockey!

he divided the population into ‘lifters’ and ‘leaners’ and then gifted the ‘lifters’ and took the ‘leaners’ to the cleaners

and the ‘lifters’ turned out to be rich fucks who enjoy the uplift of institutionalised corruption, and the ‘leaners’ turned out to be everyone who couldn’t find a job because of his shit policies

So the right country racist won?

the country racist party

This just sent out from @NolaMarinoMP’s office.....and then recalled! @Barnaby_Joyce @TonyAbbottMHR 🤨 @SkyNewsAust pic.twitter.com/C7ZM5s4WdM

the fearless moderate prime minister made it to the mardi gras and (I presume) told the LGBTQI community how wonderful it was that he personally delivered marriage equality

a heartwarming moment

he made some “everyone got to have their say” comment, he’s a tone deaf wankbox

yes, everyone has to have their say

it would be wrong if B. Thompson of Smiggin Holes, NSW was not listened to (he believes that gays should be lynched)

NATIONAL TIIIIIILES

IT'S ON

(maybe)

every time i come back to australia something massively shit happens

*every time LITERALLY ANY TIME AT ALL something massively shit happens

straya

unsurprised that the liberal party would consider installing a potato with the words 'no brown people' inscribed in its skin as prime minister, seems rather in character for them

maybe all those australians who remain convinced australia is not a racist country will wake the fuck up

yeah, like they did in the US

THIRTY NEWSPOLL WOW WOW WOW WOWOWOWOWOW

when i get off the plane it will be potatoes in charge right

god imagine PM Potato, judging how soon to call an election before Tone tries to roll him
