The Australian Zeitgeist Tracking Thread

Oh, well, a whole bunch of those National-voting fuckwits are about to run out of water. I guess it's possible they MIGHT realise voting against protecting the land you rely on because the bigot arguing to destroy it is wearing an akubra is not a long-term plan for success.

There might be a fatal flaw in this hang the environmental impact studies and let’s build more dams strategy - if it doesn’t fucking rain.

Also stop growing cotton.

We need Fran Kelly back on RN Breakfast. McCormac should not have been allowed to get away with his 'Fuck the Frogs, dig the dams and the rain will magically appear schtick'.

I'm pretty sure farmers more than anyone are well aware of climate change and its looming problems, theyre not stupid. But yes, why the fuck we grow cotton or rice in this country I dont know.

just imagine how much worse it’d have been under labor! JUST IMAGINE

The current lab hand-wringing and vacillating makes me worry that their policy might be to wear a different coloured akubra hat.

“sure, hitler started the second world war, but just imagine how much worse labor would have been!!!!!!!” <cry-wanks over a photo of john howard>

(godwin can get fucked, we are at that point now)

that’s a bit harsh given how Godwin has been tweeting for the last two years

i am in serious despair about this country

please point me to all relevant news sources explaining how your PM was supposed to help with countering the conclusions of the US intelligence community re: Russian election interference c.2016

probably through faith tbh, it's what powers the POTUS

I would tell you but given the government is banging up journos, and I’m afraid asio is watching and will come and get me, even if I am in Tokyo.

honestly though this is a 2/10 on the scale of putrid racist homophobic sociopathic things this absolute fucking cockwomble has done

tried to gently explain to a lower-ranking colleague at work today that no, there has been no law passed in Australia to allow abortion to occur at time of birth (despite her protests that it is on Facebook and 'it's on Channel 9' - linked to some weirdo site on there with a screenshot of Nine News)

all types of despair, this country's traditional mindset of don't tell me what dickhead makes it more prone to this type of stuff

worries me even more than the usual malarkey of sucking up to americans, not matter how fucking mad or illegal they are at the time

I’m in Brisbane today an this woke capital city greenie is raving mad that he has to go out and buy a dust mask.

breathe in our wealth and prosperity with gratitude ye god damned hippie

unfortunately our home is girt by c’s

sending sympathies from the most progressive city in this relative shitbag of a country

Scott Morrison is a cunt, cunting it up on the ABC.

I can’t think of anything more amusing or cryptic to write really.

Told him to fuck off and die on twitter, got suspended

[reads up on australian politics for about seven minutes] yep i'm depressed now

Infrastructure week down under!

Infrastructure week in Tasmania and you now get apology if you are a homophobic fascist cunt.

hello from [coughs & splutters for nine minutes]... Sydney

I’m not looking forward to my trip to Sydney next week.

I’m also very ashamed. I had to present to the board of the company I am working for right now and was chatting with the chairman (notorious coal plant owning, climate denying fuckstick), in the preamble, while the conference call was getting, I passed up the opportunity to educate him (and possibly loose my job). I bottled it. Not next time.

Albo can go fuck himself as well.

Albanese, Terri Butler, Joel Fitzgibbon, useless fuckwits all.

What is this Australia Day tv advert and why doesn’t it have a message at the end say who is funding it?

Clive Palmer is out trying kill readers of The Australian today,

good

About time, frankly.

Can we pause and laugh at Peter Dutton’s continuing failure to “Stop the Boats”

What’s happened today?

Petter Dutton is shouting at a number of cruise ships anchored off New South Wales that won't leave. I think they only have crew on them but he wants them to go back to their home ports. I think he called the AFP about it.

Ah - I saw they'd been ordered to leave after three crew from the Ruby Plagueship were evacced to hospital from Botany Bay the other day, didn't know they were staying. Loving the idea of him standing on the outcrop where John Woo had Tom Cruise throw a motorcycle at a dude, screaming so hard at a boat that a single vein finally shows up on his smooth potato carapace.

All it took was for the world to end to provide free childcare.

Prime Minister uses a security-hacking scam app to read bible & deliver prayers for a group that asks "Coronavirus TS: God's punishment for sin, or the work of the demonic?," from his Parliamentary office

Been enjoying the responses to Alexander Downer's grotesquely false dilemma:

We either save avoidable deaths & destroy society OR accept avoidable deaths & save society. The moral dilemma of our time.

— Alexander Downer (@AlexanderDowner) April 7, 2020

might be the biggest ratio I've seen (at present, 86 / 1274)

This is the neuron bomb approach: kill the living things but spare the buildings and roads.

and the negatively geared investment properties paid off with franking credits

oh yeah, how could I have overlooked mentioning those?

we either save the liberal party and destroy society, or destroy the liberal party and save society

making cuntish remarks in his posh feeble voice is his main talent

who could forget "the things that batter"

Arts Minister votes against arts industry relief package designed by others, then uses COVID-19 as reasoning to unilaterally axe local content quotas on broadcasters, with press release on his personal website.

Between this and piling on the WHO by the usual thugs the government have done their best to remind us that they are a bunch of miserable vindictive pricks. Get ready for the evisceration of everything when we get out of lockdown.
