:siren: VICPOL UPDATE: :siren:




Another month, another poo poo show from our 45th Federal Parliament of Australia. Let's see the players, and whether any of them will last the month:



Liberal Party: The main partner in the Liberal-Nationals Coalition that's running the daily mess of the government. Scott Morrison accidentally became Prime Minister when he didn't challenge Malcolm Turnbull for leadership, it wasn't his fault, fair dinkum. So far ScoMo has become a bit of a Tony Abbott-lite, being a bit of a Bible basher as well as making Captain Calls like moving the Australian Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Of course his own popularity and the popularity of the party have taken a huge hit as no one other than the right wing media is liking this.



The Nationals: The party for the country folk racist right wing climate denying homophobic coal mining loving nut jobs. Lead by *checks Wikipedia* oh, it's still Michael McCormack. I thought Barnaby was going to be leader again. Well there you go. Hopefully this party is wiped out soon, as their views on climate run absolutely against scientific proof and common sense, and with droughts wiping out farms across most of Australia, surely farmers have got to realise this party doesn't have their interests. Unless they have a huge reserve of coal under their paddocks.



The Labor Party: Not the Labour Party, cos the people who started this party thought that the American spelling was more fancy. The main opposition in Parliament, lead by Bill Shorten, who spends most of his time being a small target so hopefully the media won't attack him and go for ScoMo instead. The party of the people, as long as you are a left leaning lawyer or from uni student politics. Got a great chance of winning the next election, but there's always the chance that they'll screw something up and either just scrape in or lose it.



The Greens: The slight far centre left party, lead by fence sitter Richard Di Natale. A party that should be absolutely making the most of the chaos in this Parliament, but gets screwed over by its own members whenever it gets a chance to get ahead (look at the last round of by elections, especially in Victoria). It's a progressive party, well it should be but holy poo poo this party can self inflict wounds better than what Labor can. Also doesn't help that most commercial media and ABC completely ignores it.



Pauline Hanson's Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Mutter Party: A horrible Queensland right wing party lead by equally horrible right wing Queenslander Pauline Hanson. You know that great-uncle who loves the White Australian Policy, wants National Service brought back and the non-whites kicked out of the country? Well that's those views made into a party. It seemed for a little while in 2016 that PHON actually may be alive again and ready to take over states like WA, but thanks to infighting, dual citizen issues and Pauline's massive ego, the party is pretty much dead again. However we have this party to thank for loving awful (read: Queensland) people like Fraser Anning and Malcolm Roberts.



And the real leader of Australia: Rupert Murdoch. Ruler of the right wing media in Australia, Murdoch has been king maker for Australia since Whitlam's days. However it looks like the old fart's media is losing their grip on most Australian's political views, with most polls going against the view him and his band of racist journalists want Australia to go. Hopefully the next Federal Election will kill off the influence that News Corpse has over media and politics.

Other Politics stuff: This month also has the Victorian State Election happening on the 24th. Four more years for Dandrews. Praise for Dandrews. Dandrews all knowing, all level crossing removing.

Definitely not the absolute worst, imo. I'd struggle to pick an absolute worst (it would probably depend on the day) but gun to my head I might be inclined to go with Eric Abetz.
Nah, Fraser Anning takes the gold poo poo medal. A vile racist that even makes Pauline and Bob Katter blush.

Queensland is strong, aka The Sunshine State, The Smart State, The State of Fear.

The IQ of an average Queenslander far exceeds those from other states. Queenslanders have a vice like grip evolved from decades of strong handshakes, crushing aluminium cans and fixing up Postie Bikes and modding them so they can be driven on the highway.

Queensland is not hated due to her flaws but due to her strenghths and the envy of those who are lesser and probably spend most of their time drinking coffee and pretending to be interested in buying a Tesla at a mall display.

Fake news :sad:

That was a quick backflip.

Did anyone watch last night's Four Corners on the *deep scary voice* Apex Gang violence in Victoria? Was it a hit job or did they actually make some effort to debunk the bullshit that the Herald Sun and Guy Matthew... I mean Matthew Guy, have been pedalling?

Maybe we should just do what we can reasonably do to mitigate things. If you can't afford to cut out meat in general, just cut out red meat. If you can't afford to cut out red meat for whatever reason, then that's ok too. There's probably other stuff you can do but jfc don't make other people guilty because they can't make the same sacrifices as you for whatever reason.

It's like when the world was obsessed with cutting out plastic straws. There are lots of people who legit need them, so like, just have them available if someone asks for them and stop using them yourself if you're able to. It's not that hard to not be an rear end in a top hat about this stuff.
