Ah back when Barnaby making a fool out of himself was endearing

That Bolt article (sorry, should be clearer, I am referring to the one accompanied by that casually racist cartoon) really got to me. I have intense love for Australia and my heart will always belong to Melbourne. So, as a brown person, seeing that kind of bigotry just thrown around ■■■■■■ me off no end.

Ok, I will now retreat to the US politics thread. We are SO much better here in the US #sarcasm

So Barnaby has an “autobiography” out, explaining his deep depression etc etc.

Gee, that was quick. I’m not buying it, at all.

He’s lost the plot. Tell that story later not now.

A book gets written almost overnight, by someone who has claimed to be very recently been suffering deep depression, become a father again, and continues a political career at taxpayers’ expense. Righto then…

Scott Morrison just took a dump in his hand and Barnaby Joyce is applauding. And, that about sums up Australian politics today, folks.

Speaking of the nats,

When will farmers stop voting for them? They do zero to help farmers.

When will people stop falling for the narrative that farmers are salt of the earth types without whom we’d all be farked as a society?

Screw those guys.

With all respect dingus my good man, having spent the last 5 years living in broad acre cropping regions of Australia, one part where the one electorate grew 1/3rd of the nations barley, wheat, mungbean and sorghum. They are more important to food security than a lot of the nation gives them credit for.

Where they are their own worst enemies though is they vote in polticions who sell their land right out from underneath them, and knowing allow for the poisoning of the aquifers that sustain their businesses.

There’s also the planes they buy. And the overcapitalisation on agricultural infrastructure on tenuous landholdings.

I know not all farmers are millionaires, but honestly, how much do they chip in when times are good?
