I genuinely don't think I have anything to add to that. It's all just so petty and tawdry.

On a related note I think it's worth mentioning that this is all accelerated by a 24 hour news cycle and the amount of right-wingers who insist on dragging American culture wars and politics over to Australia, I'm guessing because our own politics aren't dramatic enough for them, which then platforms the worst sort of people.

Maybe that's reaping what we sewed considering we exported Rupert. Now we are importing hate & radicalism on-top of our own domestic stock.
