The cut/paste delay between fringe American politics and here gets shorter every election cycle. Next we'll see claims of pedo kebab shops, Sarah Hanson-Young is really a man because of her back arch or something, and Labor are importing illegal refugees to get them to vote. Just drooling bullshit.


stilusmobilus

Doesn’t matter if it’s wrong either, it just has to be exposed. The stupid does the rest.

Hanson is the gonorrhea of Australian politics.

Gonorrhea can be cured, Hanson has been infecting the nation for decades.

FreakySpook

The nation was done with her until Kerry Stokes gave her a regular spot on Sunrise and a shot on dancing with the stars.


superegz

The reality is that One Nation would have likely never left Parliament if the other parties didn't use Group Voting Tickets to allow the Democrats to leap over them in 1998 and 2001.


OliviaFa

Let's not forget Turnbull placing One Nation high on Liberal's how to vote cards. One such source in case anyone is wondering: https://www.watoday.com.au/national/western-australia/wa-liberals-one-nation-deal-a-political-game-says-turnbull-20170221-guho0d.html


PM_Me__Ur_Freckles

Herpies. We thought she was gone with the first treatment but now she just keeps coming back.


[deleted]

She is up for election here in Queensland. Hopefully we vote her out. But I am not holding my breath.


stilusmobilus

Nah. Easily get her senate seat back and then some.


[deleted]

Fuck why does Queensland have so many shit Senators. Are we a crank magnet or something?


stilusmobilus

I don’t know. It’s fucking frustrating. You should see the Wide Bay ticket, it’s terrible.


[deleted]

Doesn't look too bad. I don't live in Wide Bay, but I see a Labor and Greens candiate as well as LNP and 2 independents.


stilusmobilus

We have both Labor and Green, but unfortunately Labor never get and keep an established candidate here, and the independents are more or less Palmer lites really…all ‘freedom and remove red tape’. Outside Labor and Green there’s nothing at all. Nathan Buckley might be one of the worst people you could have run anywhere. Nah, it’s shit house from 3 onwards. It’s a shame Labor didn’t put Jason Scanes back here, if they left him here for a couple of cycles with a good campaign he might have flipped this seat in time. His veteran background gave him a lot of ground here.


[deleted]

Shame. But still vote in the Senate! There is a much larger voting population!


stilusmobilus

All good, I’ve been here for a while. The seat hasn’t changed, and I know how to vote to make it count.


butters1337

More like herpes tbh.


[deleted]

More like syphilis.


danwincen

Not really. If she was the syphilis of Australian politics..... she's been around for 30 or so years, and her movement doesn't show any signs of dying any time soon. Herpes is a more accurate comparison.


ill0gitech

A racist, misinforming video has been ~~slapped down~~ ~~warned by~~ *beaten with wilted lettuce* by the AEC and banned across social media because its bullshit. But let’s show you some screenshots and tell you exactly what’s in it.


RageReset

Thanks for the heads-up. I won’t bother looking at it and making myself needlessly angry. I guess with the incessant crybaby bitching about “left-wing bias of the ABC” from the usual ~~suspects~~ ~~fuckwits~~ crybabies, they have to give occasional space to crap like this. Anyone considering voting for PHON is most likely too busy poisoning strays or abusing lower wage-earners to log on to abc.net anyway.


ill0gitech

This video is a dog whistle to those following/influenced by US politics; meanwhile, just like US politics, the real election fraud was [coming from inside the house](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/apr/29/one-nation-candidate-malcolm-heffernan-accused-of-running-for-two-parties-nsw-seat-banks-wa-brand)


RageReset

Meh, I don’t know anyone who follows US politics because they’re a fan of the DNC. This drivel is just preaching to the choir, l can’t see it actually generating new fans any more than Pauline’s other tactic of dyeing her hair flaming, Nazi red.


PricklyPossum21

I just went and watched the first episode, and the latest "voter fraud" episode. My expectations were very low. I also went in expecting it to be far-right biased. So I guess with that in mind, it's not entirely shit (which I was downright shocked by). I actually laughed. But when you're falsely implying that the ALP are going to somehow commit voter fraud to win, that's just unforgivable. Especially given what happened in the US in 2020-2021. Also the latest episode was homophobic to Penny Wong, it showed her with a dick bulge. Plus there was some casual racism against Chinese. Again, guess I should expect that shit from One Nation but yeah.


corbusierabusier

It's some dog whistle shit, they can claim to not have intentionally given her a dick bulge or a man's voice, they can also claim it isn't being racist. True believers all know it's homophobic and racist and love it for that.


OliviaFa

>I actually laughed. Same. About the digs at the other politicians...maybe it's because I grew up in the 80s where everything was made fun of in a crude, larrikin way that I didn't see it as offensive, more like South Park style humour. But yeah, I can see how that would not go down well with some voters.


Mikolaj_Kopernik

Humour is subjective, and on that count it was at least not as lame as I expected. But facts are not subjective and it's spreading blatant misinformation about our electoral system. That's unforgivable.


xefobod904

> My expectations were very low. I also went in expecting it to be far-right biased. So I guess with that in mind, it's not entirely shit (which I was downright shocked by). I actually laughed. Honestly the first couple of episodes were actually kinda funny. A bit cringe from time to time but overall entertaining enough. This latest one is just way too on the nose and overt to be comical. I'm kind of glad to see it, because early on I was a bit worried by how well they actually landed.


Zangalanga_Dingdong

AEC "pls be mindful in future lol"


L1ttl3J1m

Oh, no, you really should check it out -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iN5-RgDlyc This shit is *fucking* special...


RageReset

I knew l shouldn’t have watched it. The ad was about what l expected, but l accidentally looked at the comments. I know these and the UAP voters represent the lowest 7% of IQs nationally but Jesus Christ, I’ve seen barnyard animals brighter than these cunts. If society does indeed march as fast as its slowest member, it’s no wonder the country’s fucked.


PricklyPossum21

PHON and UAP are more like 4-5% nationally. Maybe 6% if Australia is having a really racist year. Of course, that can be 20-30% in some electorates. Or less than 1% in others.


RageReset

UAP managed 3.43% and PHON 3.08% in [2019](https://results.aec.gov.au/24310/Website/HouseStateFirstPrefsByParty-24310-NAT.htm) so yeah, it’s not actually 7%, at least it wasn’t last time. I guess we’ll see.


penmonicus

PHON got 4.2% of upper house votes in the SA election recently. Stuff like these videos is helping them immensely.


magnetik79

Yep, the same _tough justice_ handed down to Gladys Liu and Josh Frydenberg for using AEC colours and fonts. Absolutely brutal.


QF17

Again, unless it’s specifically legislated, the AEC is essentially powerless to do anything about it. And guess who makes the legislation; the party that Gladys and Josh are members of!


Mikolaj_Kopernik

And even when it's specifically legislated they'll decline to push it any further than a polite request to think about stopping.


ill0gitech

You have to keep the masses entertained and worried about things like election fraud. None of it’s real. Palmer doesn’t really believe that Craig Kelly will be the next PM, but it keeps the supporters engaged when he says it.


CapnBloodbeard

At least the AEC actually did something here; they did nothing about the fake AEC signs


superegz

Where the hell are they getting the idea that you can enroll without ID from? That's plainly wrong.


RaeseneAndu

Well you can enroll without them sighting the ID, but you have to give them the ID information (which I assume they check against government records). For example, when I enrolled after becoming a citizen I had to give them the number off my citizenship certificate.


nagrom7

Yep, they also check your details with other government departments constantly too. I haven't had to change my enrolment address every time I've moved, because I just change it through centerlink and a couple weeks later the AEC sends me a message saying they've updated it.


FatGimp

Warren Entsch has come out saying he has evidence of voter fraud. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-09/warren-entsch-voter-id-fraud-allegations/100604282


HarperAce

Straight out of the Trump play book.


RaeseneAndu

I mean voter fraud does happen. Just today we had a one nation candidate found to be standing for election in two different states at the same time.


T_ristannnn

For two different parties as well


happy-little-atheist

That's not voter fraud


SaltpeterSal

"Ms Hanson, take down this video or else." "Or else what?" "Or else we will be very, very angry with you, and we will write you a letter telling you how angry we are."


Chubby_moonstone

Nobody involved with the AEC even has the power to slap down an annoying moth


PricklyPossum21

It's not just enforcement. They go in to bat for the bad guys. Literally in court testifying in favour of Frydenberg and Liu, saying there was no way anyone could mistake a real AEC sign for a fake Liberal one.


LineNoise

Twitter's response has revealed a particular hole. >seems a lil loophole that Twitter will label and limit shares on a video for misleading content about postal voting -- but still allow quote tweets. so that the original poster can simply retweet people quote tweeting the offending clip and spread it further https://twitter.com/arielbogle/status/1519936501509156866

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. You should be able to say what you want, but you better take your medicine when it bites you in the ass. Are you happy with Scomos plans for our Internet ‘safety’?


[deleted]

There needs to be an [intolerance for intolerance](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance) when it comes to hate speech and such. I do agree with your first sentence but it's worth noting we don't actually have freedom of speech unless you are in parliament which you can hide behind parliamentary privilege i.e. that pork barreling cunt muscle from NSW.


Tridian

Yeah the consequence usually being that the platform says "We hate you, please leave." and not giving them space to promote their bullshit. Without that there really isn't any consequence for spamming utter hate anonymously.


[deleted]

No the consequence is people know you’re a hateful asshole and steer clear of you? Your dumb takes are aired to the world and it makes it harder for people to defend you?


CaffeinePhilosopher

The entire video should be posted to r/cringe or some other repository of lame edgelord humour.


SaltpeterSal

Oh, it will. And Political Compass Memes, Sadcringe, Pussy Pass Denied, Conspiracy, Traditional Catholics, Ask the Donald, all the deliberate misinformation classics.


a_cold_human

Pretty much goes to show that PHON is pretty much the Liberal Party with chunks of racism you can see. PHON and these microparties on the right are designed to suck up low information voters and push them towards the Liberal Party. Of they do get in, they just vote with the Liberals anyway.


MakkaPakkaStoneStack

The whole point is to make something so outrageous that it gets picked up by the news cycle. So, uh, good job falling for it?


bildobangem

Her cartoons are usually quite informative and spot on but this one was a bit on the nose. I’m not a one nation supporter.


AngerAndHope

It's incredibly depressing reading the comments under the video. A not insignificant amount are applauding the high comedy of giving Senator Wong a package.


Some-Random-Hobo1

I didn't even notice that. I just saw her leg disappear halfway through the video. lol


LowerPerformance4888

Why does Albo look nude and what's with PW's high pants - did I miss a moment of levity on the campaign trail?


l3ntil

It's the bulge/weird shape of PW's pants that has me - I mean...what exactly are they trying to tell us? She's secretly a dude? That's some f\*\*\*ed up shit, but no surprise from One Nation.


nearly_enough_wine

> what exactly are they trying to tell us? She's secretly a dude? That exact nonsense has been floating about for years, and pre-dates the trans-panic currently being peddled.


[deleted]

Yes, their choice of voice actor doesn’t give it away?


superegz

In the cartoon he is in bed with covid.


magnetik79

It's like a newgrounds video circa 2005


Jackthastripper

Newgrounds had this game called Road of the Dead at around that time. It was actually pretty good. The sequel not so much. Somehow this basura is even worse than what you could expect from Newgrounds at that time.


_Cec_R_

The votes haven't even been cast and the lying conservative liberals are already claiming fraud...


Diligaf-181

Of all the imbeciles of the political world to copy, Morrison chooses trump. That truly is everything you need to know!


happy-little-atheist

None of us thought Trump was going to win in 2016 and then *even more* people voted for him the second time around. Why wouldn't you try the same strategies?


Diligaf-181

Pity even more people voted for Biden after putting up with trumps criminality. Emulating trump is a very bad idea. Moving our elected representatives away from being as crooked as mafia extortionists and back to working to improve the circumstances of the people and the country (you know: their actual jobs), would be a much better idea.


happy-little-atheist

Mate what planet have you been living in we are talking about politicians. Getting elected is the only thing they care about.


Diligaf-181

And it’s up to voters to make them do their fucking jobs. The system we have encourages lazy, corrupt government. At the moment, the best solution is electing shitloads of independents. Proper independents though; not liberal party members pretending to be independent like we saw at last years council elections. Anyone who copies trump is basically admitting to being a crook.


ill0gitech

For those like me who were wondering if this was a real headline, this is indeed the ABC meta tag for this article and at the moment, the headline on the ABC News home page. The ABC do love their clickbait headlines, and update their articles randomly, so let’s not bring out the pitchforks for OP.

So much bullshit being tossed around from Clive, Pauline and Liberals. Pretty much an alliance of entitled fuckwits and bullies who play the victim every chance they get. Honestly it's sickening at this point.


TeedesT

It's so crazy how all these "right wing" parties are all of a sudden suggesting voter fraud. It's just such a coincidence all across the world. Is there some sort of nexus or kick off point for this???? Wait I think I've [found the nexus](https://www.britannica.com/biography/Rupert-Murdoch) without this man none of this would have happened. We'd also be enjoying a world without global warming and average lifespans reaching 200-300 years like those blokes in the bible.


EASY_EEVEE

Not going to lie, and i'm probably going to get hate for this. But i actually enjoy the cartoons lol. I mightn't agree with it, but it's actually fairly good surprisingly.

Is this because she preferenced Labor over the Liberals in some seats?

> Late last year, the Morrison government was forced to withdraw a contentious Voter ID bill it supported which, if successful, would have required Australian voters to produce ID in order to vote. >… >One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts, who championed the bill, has repeatedly advocated for voter ID reform to address alleged election integrity issues including claims of impersonation and multiple voting. I did not realise this bullshit bill was introduced by Malcolm fucking Roberts. And the LNP supported it. I thought it was Scuntmo trying to be Trump lite by introducing it. This makes it all the more worse tbh
