It was from a Bolt article, and I'm guessing the graphic design team doesn't like Abbott as much as the editorial staff does.

Probably nothing, unless you're overseas or a silent elector or something else that highlights how much of a shitshow this is.

The less you have to actually say the more bullshit is said to obfuscate how little that you're bringing to the table.

"I'm a hated filled bigot" is too short so they say a lot of other things instead.

Pay a plastic surgeon to give you some tits and get your dick chopped off.

Alternatively wear a pretty floral dress for the next 6 months and tell everyone about how free you feel then apply for gym membership.

But it has to be a nice pretty dress. We're classy goons here :clint:

I'm pretty sure this exact poo poo happened in Europe a few years ago where a bunch of newspapers sued Google because they said its search results were causing the papers to lose money.

And then Google stopped showing those papers at all in search results and they all nearly went under.

Looks like this has backfired spectacularly.

I just checked something. According to the AEC, an estimated 816,000 eligible voters weren't enrolled at the 2016 election, nearly a third of them 18-24 year olds.

Obviously this figure would balloon up somewhat outside of election years, but even then, 68,000 people registering is significant chunk of that figure. If this continues even vaguely as well as today, we could see some of the best enrollment figures in history.

And we all know most of them will be young people :allears:

About the only political rule we can count on anymore is that things will happen in the most ironic possible fashion, so I think this is practically a guarantee.
