Do any of you listen to podcasts on Australian politics, with a comedy bent for preference?

Trumpbull threatens to refer Labor MPs to the high court over citizenship queries but won't refer LNP MPs. He also refuses to refer Mitch Fifield to a committee over questions about what he knew about Stephen Parry's dual citizenship, calling the notion "absurd".

I hope he looks forward his precedent being used by the next government (whoever that is) to refer every LNP MP to the high court for everything remotely relevant.

A MUM has threatened to kick her son out of home after he took part in a racist attack on Sam Dastyari in which the ringleader, a long-time Nazi sympathiser, labelled the Labor senator a “terrorist” and a “monkey”.

...

Erikson, a member of the United Patriots Front who identified himself in the video posted to social media as the front man for Patriot Blue, was joined by fellow ultranationalist Ricky Turner and 21-year-old Melbourne man Logan Spalding.

Mr Spalding’s mother, Rosetta Milne, told The Daily Telegraph she was “shocked and horrified” when she saw her son in the video yesterday. “I’ve told him if he every does anything like that again he’s out of here,” she said.

Ms Milne said she was aware Logan had become involved with the white nationalist group after he was caught up in a protest earlier this year.

“Everyone has a right to be safe when they’re out in public,” she said.

“He has Asperger’s and is very easy to sway … he’s been apologetic and has agreed to co-operate so I’m really hoping he’s learnt his lesson.”

Asperger’s Syndrome is a condition on the autism spectrum. People diagnosed with this condition may be socially awkward and have an all-absorbing interest in specific topics.

No, it's not a scene from a Marvel Comics blockbuster, this is what I saw when looking over to see what my three-year-old son was watching on a tablet.

He'd started watching nursery rhyme videos on YouTube, but somehow, it set him on a path to discovering creepy videos starring off-brand Spider-Men, and to my shock, thousands of these videos exist.

The irony of seeing some of the same people disgusted by this but were cheering on the guy who headbutt Abbott. There are loonies on both sides but don't excuse one side because it's your own.

Videos made specifically for pre-school kids on YouTube can be incredibly hosed up. Like ones where Peppa Pig is drinking bleach and kids characters being killed.

Well, yeah. I'd argue that's the point, even if it wasn't so originally.

If our pollies can't or won't jump through this baseline stupid hoop, what are they going to do when they encounter another hoop they might think is stupid, like...for example...not abusing travel expenses? oh wait

freebooter posted:

Yeah. Of course that wasn't the point originally. When the fathers of Federation were sitting around stroking their beards and smoking their cigars, they put that in the constitution because they wanted no darkies, wogs or Frenchmen in government. That would not have been befitting of a proud and loyal outpost of the British Empire. They would be very surprised to find British dual citizens being ruled ineligible a hundred years down the track, just as I'm surprised that a thread full of borderline anarchists who want a socialist revolution has turned out to contain a lot of authoritarian motherfuckers who'll defend a dumbshit law to the death.

It's got nothing to do with facism, authoritarianism or xenophobia. It's a big stick to whack the pollies with and considering if Centrelink fucks up and miscalculates your income through no fault of your own you'll get legal action, robocalls and your details leaked to the press, the least they can do when they either willingly or through ignorance violate the constitution - you know, the thing that MPs need to swear by - is go and get hosed.
