        In May 2026, Malcolm Roberts was quoted saying he was ‘in two minds’ as to whether gay people should be considered equal.

          He’s also a climate change denier, sovereign citizen and supporter of a total abortion ban in Australia. Basically he’s a complete piece of shit.

        have you not met any Australian voters?

        paraphrasing Donald Horne, we’re a nation of fools voting for idiots

        He’s a senator, and so he doesn’t have to do anything since he’s on the top of the One Nation ticket. The continuing and increasing popularity of that party certainly says something about the Australian people, however.

        Hell, I was listening renown family man Barnaby Joyce on ABC radio this morning and I’m amazed at some of the morons who manage to get voted into gov positions.

          I loved watching him avoid highlighting how much poorer future elderly Australians will be with their shit super plan like the piece of shit that he is. This is “just print more money” all over again …

      Some of it is stupidly falling for it… But don’t underestimate how much of it is either bad faith actors or people who just want to beleive it.

      All they need is someone to say the thing they want to hear and that settles it… Socialism bad see?
