I'm a migrant.
As far as I can can see everyone but the Aboriginals and TI folk are from somewhere else too.

So when I hear that #WhereAreYouFrom? is being used by non-Aboriginal Australians to try and exclude newer arrivals from participation I shake my head and think "Racism is still doing it's crappiness."

Get a bit of perspective you drongos.

So dear Bobby has finally admitted he's an all-in racist and overall bigot. About time.

His press conferences are always a laugh, given his propensity to go off in weird ways, but he is nonetheless a dangerous man.

ty for telling me about the australian story - it was interesting

i can see the appeal - party politics doesn’t always allow people to be true to their values. in the early days of hanson i asked a lot of people what they liked about her, and they mostly said it wasn’t what she valued so much as her willingness to (appear) honest.

(not sure about the “no one cares for the babies of failed abortions” business… that;s a bit of a head scratcher 🤔)

#Reddit produced the perfect take on #BobKatter

"I never know whether Bob is gonna come out with some hardcore socialist plan to nationalize an industry or some regressive racist bullshit but I do know it will be delivered with panache."
