Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I’d honestly sort of be surprised if labour holds onto it. I can’t be the only one who’s been pretty dissatisfied with the minutiae of them running stuff. That better not mean a stint with Dutton though.

We'll always be dissatisfied with either government, but if Dutton is running the show then I hope the libs don't get in. I'll be voting green as usual, we're still not seeing enough climate action in this country.

This election should be about improving laws to prevent sick cunts like Adam Britton from being eligible for parole less than four years after being sentenced for torturing animals in ways described by the judge as "depraviry and reprehensibility which falls entirely outside the ordinary conception of comprehension"

Torturing animals in adulthood should be instant life without parole. You don't do that unless you're a psychopath.

We're not talking about simple carelessness, like leaving an animal in a car, here. We're talking about someone who setup a torture chamber and raped dozens of dogs to death, including a family of puppies, and posted the videos online. If there could be an infallible legal system, that cunt would deserve the death penalty.

Crack cocaine.. in copious amounts. Just look at all the criminal former employees that have reached the news the last few years.. it's amazing. And makes me wonder howany more we will see in the news going forward.
