Seriously we need to be worried. Our system doesn’t concentrate too much power on the PM but the far right faction of the LNP are ascendant within the party right now and Dutton has been clear what his goals are.
You can read his inaugural speech here: www.peterdutton.com.au/about/maiden-speech/ and most of his goals are there. He has been continually banging the law and order drum since then despite crime rates continuing to drop and Australia being an astoundingly peaceful society.
If he leads a government they will enthusiastically continue the largely bipartisan assault on our rights to privacy and presumption of innocence. I would anticipate greatly increased rates of militarisation of the police and deeper integration with spy agencies/border farce. This is a man who deployed police to stop people in Melbourne and ask for their damn papers. Do not dismiss the threat he poses to equality and justice.
No, dutton is a calculating and extremely cunning fascist.
He is not stupid, he is not childish, he is a terrifying man who has meticulously climbed the rungs of power in order to manipulate policy in favour of his terrible designs.
Don’t minimise the danger he poses, dumb thugs don’t become leader of the LNP.
well there you go, someone was wrong about what cats need to be happy.
You’d think a vet would be more worried about all the heal problems they pick up outside but I suppose it’s more work for them if mr fluffypaws needs surgery or whatever.
Benefits for cats: No FIV infections, no car injuries, safe temperatures, no fights, no parasites.
Benefits for wildlife: no murder, fewer vectors, no loss of habitat to cats
Benefits for community: no roaming cats triggering sensor lights/setting off other pets/damaging property with claws, no toxo transmission, no digging up poo while gardening/losing plants to cat piss
Cons to cats: Keepers must provide entertainment
Cons to keepers: Exercise the level of basic responsibility every other keeper of pets is expected to, or parent with children.
Fuck the fucking fuckers. Swearing as much a part of human communication as cadence is.
Puritans can fuck themselves with a pineapple. It’s as ridiculous as finding full stops offensive and insisting the rest of the world bow to them by using double commas or something.
Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh this is all so despicably one sided and Pearl clutchy.
Children are dying, just fuck everything else come on children are fucking dying. It’s not fake, it’s not propaganda, it’s right fucking there.
Children are dying en masse from hunger and thirst, under rubble, torn apart by bombs in what can only at it’s most charitable be described as a campaign of terror and revenge.
Fuck all this reporting on such and such a sign or such and such a chant. Children are dying, it is fucking obvious to anyone with more than a shard of charcoal where a heart should be what the salient issue is here.
Isn’t that an indictement of the leaching class haha. Can’t quite realise other people are human unless you can golf with them while discussing landlording or whatever haha.
it’s just such a pathetically juvenile way to describe politics. “mr big punches women in face man going to tackle mr hires assassins brutal dictator of maybe the third most powerful country in the world man”. Uh huh, I bet he is. As we all know politics is about how much testosterone you can smear from your glands on each other while wrestling and not a largely redundant performing into being of relationships between people orchestrated by thousands.
It makes me think of the awful time when Australian news became obsessed with “shirtfronted”. Shit like this makes a little piece of my brain die every time I remember it.
