Because fuck you, who's going to stop him?

Only the good die young unfortunately.

If he'd ever actually parented any of his children he'd have already experienced that at least once.

That's probably going to happen anyway but we'll never know about it unless a lucky microphone picks it up.

It functions the same way as the Death Note. Let's call it the Brown Note.

Yeah, I am not reading this shit again. I will not reward the complicit media with clicks and attention for their part in getting him re-elected.

And being part of the Commonwealth, we still have the monarch as the head of state but have Governer Generals who perform the monarchs roles when they are not about.

This is true of Australia, but having the British monarch as head of state is not a requirement for Commonwealth membership - there are a few members that have their own heads of state.

Australia didn't rebel like those dastardly yanks. We became an independent country in 1901.

Expanding on this a bit, while Australia did become its own country in 1901 our legal system was still linked to the British one and the British parliament could legislate for Australia until the Australia Act 1986 was passed, which cut all remaining legal and legislative ties to the UK leaving only the monarch as head of state.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, but I want to see the former hurt the latter first.

Don't you know that pointing out the obvious consequences of electing trump before the election was actually supporting genocide?

"now don't you escalate that war Vladimir!" wink wink

It's the same here. The Therapeutic Goods Administration, our equivalent to the FDA, generally follows along with FDA regulations (though I don't think that will continue from next year somehow).

"whether they like it or not"

This is going to happen. Whether or not it's ever "official policy", people are going to be killed by this.

None of that matters because they made more money last time he was in office.

I'm starting to think that money in politics is a problem...

It's looking for a gotcha moment to take out of context. During the last Australian federal election the then-Opposition leader (now Prime Minister) was asked what the Reserve Bank cash rate was and he didn't know off the top of his head. The media and now-former government tried to beat it up as a big problem and proof that he wasn't fit to be PM, which is ridiculous (though his actual performance as PM so far is underwhelming). It did lead to a great moment a couple of days later though when they tried it on the leader of the Greens, who just replied "Google it, mate".

Don't you think he looks tired?

Cries in Australian

Unfortunately the press and the peanut gallery have it very wrong on this one.

Deliberately. Comparing it to the Purge rather than the Kristallnacht gives the majority of people who only read the headline the wrong idea about what he actually meant, which derails the discussion towards "crazy old man says another crazy thing" rather than "crazy old fascist says another fascist thing".

In Australia you can buy permanent residency, which is then a pathway to citizenship.
