Could you imagine being the President of Queensland's Police "Union", who when being asked about being denied a watering-down of domestic violence definitions say the actual words "I certainly don’t stop when I’m told no the first time. No means not right now."? Fuck me.

Dear Tanya: Have you considered trying something that works?
We got our under-16 social media delay. We got age verification for online pornography, we have banned deepfake nudes, we have banned nudify apps, there’s a whole range of areas where we are acting. The question now is what more should we do? What comes next?

I hear that what with the UCI having all sorts of cheating issues, Seb Coe has offered to step in to check that all riders' bras are appropriately filled.
A photo of Seb Coe making a hand gesture that looks like he's grabbing a boob. It's a bit of a stretch to be honest.

I can't think of anything _more_ Australian than people panic-buying petrol because they've moved to a dormitory exurb and are completely dependant on their enormous tax-deductable twin-cab ute.

Congratulations, lovebirds.
It’s a photo of a senior couple enjoying a lovely dinner date together. They resemble Barnaby Joyce and Pauline Hanson but this resemblance is purely coincidental.

And while I'm at it, fuck you for making me go to your sham website to check that it is actually a sham and then having to fix your fucking awful how to vote graph.
A bar chart with the explainer:
This one-page summary shows the overall score of how much of each major political party is bullshit. By averaging their responses across a range
of issues, we’ve given each party a score out of 100—offering a quick, at-a-glance
overview to help you make an informed choice this election

The usual bullshit parties have high bullshit scores.

Just had a hate-filled flyer from the Australian "Christian" Lobby. I'll not share all of it because fuck them, but this part about @greens.org.au policy is genuinely good. Thanks for being the impetus I needed to get off my arse and put a Greens corflute on my fence, you hateful bastards.
Part of a flyer that says that the Greens want: 
FREE gender transition surgeries and hormones with NO out-of-pocket costs
MORE gender clinics in hospitals while emergency departments remain in crisis
ACCESS for vulnerable young people to body-altering medical interventions

Nul points for MFWF. Firstly for the name of this event. But mostly because they're demanding _$600_ for the events that don't sound like disappointing sexual encounters.

"Lurkers support me in email" has been forbidden as an Internet argument since the 90s, man. It's also a lot less effective as an argument when those Internet lurkers are people like Donald Trump, Kim Yong-Un, Vladimir Putin, and Peter Dutton.
