the awful app crashes every time I try to open auspol. Only that thread, nothing else. Finally ai has surpassed the power of the human brain.

Who is Abbott going to annoy next? I'm thinking somewhere in Africa.

It's important to remember that Nauru was a fairly nice tropical island before we mined the gently caress out of it. The natives successfully sued our government for 86 million, which their PM ran away with.

Haters Objector posted:20% of Australians would probably agree with Hitler quotes if you changed "Jew" to "Muslim" and took his name off them, so this is not surprising at all. Remember that disabled vs veterans frontpage?

Now that we can be sure some ASIO computer twerp is reading this thread, it's probably worth just getting my controversial opinions out of the way. Tony Abbott is a nerd and a lizard and probably has a toupee, Christopher Pyne is an anthropomorphic plague rat without the charm, and the entirety of the liberal party would be nazis if the flavor of our racist nationalism encouraged moral hand wringing, and everyone in asio loves to get peed on. Islam is also good, especially the communist ones.

It's not really fascist structurally or politically but there's a lot of authoritarian conservative policies, racism, nationalist sentiment tied to obedience like #teamaustralia, militarism, state surveillance, outright contempt for disability support and of course the refugee policy, which tend to tick a bunch of the boxes for people. It's misrepresentative of economic policies and the structure of society, and somewhat distracts from a lot of the causes of many of the issues, such as the medical co-payments, G4S's involvement in offshore detention and the mining lobby. We're positioned to talk about these things in terms of Tony Abbott, but he's not in a vaccuum, and not the deciding cause of many of these policies. Calling it Fascism isn't really that far off in many respects, but it distracts from the nature of the current situation. Edit: Someone here a while ago posted that Umberto Eco Ur-Fascism and stated that it was really descriptive of the current government, but it all occurs in pretty much every authoritarian society with more guns than it needs.

You'd think that would apply to the right as well, but you get newspaper headlines comparing labor to stalin more than you'd think. I'd say the problem is that nobody here listens to the left.
