I'm not racist, I'm mates with Bangladesh, the guy who sells me kebabs. No, I don't know his real name.

The ABC posted:

High-profile WA One Nation candidate Margaret Dodd has quit the party less than 24 hours before polls open for the state election.

Ms Dodd spoke out against Pauline Hanson's preference deal with the WA Liberal Party and yesterday labelled Ms Hanson a "Liberal puppet".

Ms Dodd's daughter Hayley was murdered in 1999 and she was running to push for "no body, no parole" laws which Labor supported.

In a statement, Ms Dodd said it was impossible to continue to run due to the "lack of integrity, honesty and transparency of the party".

Don't think there's any point continuing to attack him now he's dead, but I think the fact that he was apparently very charming and friendly in person means that Australian media types have had their judgement clouded as to just how repugnant his later work was.

He won 9 Walkleys or some poo poo which is an award administrated by the AJA and now MEAA. His portraits were fantastic for a long time and he was a well respected political cartoonist. He went loving hard slide right after being kicked in the head, but there are plenty of examples of fairly nasty cartoons prior to 2008. His work from 1970 to 1990 wasn't offensive because it was always attacking white people of whatever political designation rather than full on edgy racism.

I'm going to check out some archival poo poo and fact check myself though because the 70-80s were a different time and he probably wasn't held to account.

Alternatively: all the white people in the media are actually just the most waspy rear end liberal motherfuckers= ever and don't actually give a single poo poo about minorities.

I'm going to invoke Godwin here and say just because Hitler died doesn't mean we should forget or forgive the horrible poo poo he did.

Oh he died? That's vaguely sad I suppose. What's also sad is that his friends & family clearly didn't speak out against all the hateful poo poo he published so I dunno, guess they supported him and can just gently caress right off.

So this is from a friend of mine who's a Labor councillor:

quote:

Napoleon famously said: “Never interfere with your enemy when he (or she in this case) is making a mistake.” PHON is tearing itself apart in WA ATM. Protesters are just giving her oxygen as victim. #strategicallydumb

Yeah rack off grand dad protest tells people they're bad and tells other people not to follow the bad people. If we did things your way Hanson would be PM by now.

(Every time there's a protest he tuts on fb - I'm not sure what he sees in the Union movement. Maybe he just likes the barbecues?)

Quick Nestart question for people in the know, is jury duty a valid reason for not going to see Max (un)employment? Because I told them as soon as I was able that I couldn't make an appointment because of it but now my payments have been cut off. I can't imagine jury duty is an invalid excuse.

Exemptions for jury duty can be granted for up to 13 weeks, which may be extended, but not by more than 13 weeks at a time.

At least people seem to have have worked out that PHON are all idiots before they voted this time. Maybe the cribbing the Putin love and antivaxxer poo poo from the Trump playbook didn't play out as well as Pauline thought it might.

I'm not sure how the upper house numbers usually play out in WA with the regional divisions, guessing they may get one or two up there, but the RWNJ vote seems to be all over the shop.

EDIT:
