And everyone wasn't surprised.

And yet the catholic church still wields a huge amount of influence in Australia

From politics, to health and education, even unions that are supposed to protect people from exploitation

Because it's profitable for them

Cunts.

Yeah, but luckily Pauleen has declared Australia a Judeo-Christian nation. So we are going to have fuckhead racist white supremacist scum acting as apologists for the churches. It's weird how we don't get to have personal privacy or data security in the name of protecting the children, but they won't put churches on a watch list don't you think?

The irony is that she's an atheist

She keeps that pretty quiet, and says that "western civilisation" is based on "judeo-sky-fairy" shit, but that's only because of her hatred of Muslims and aboriginal people

She's dumb as fuck, but happy to weaponise the superstition and ignorance of others if it's convenient

Sadly, it works

I know an Asian Muslim immigrant, three of Poorline's favourite hated people who still voted for her because she hates indigenous people so much

Shit's fucked

I always roll my eyes when anyone talks about anything being 'Judeo-Christian'. Show me the nearest Judeo-Christian church, bucko.

There's some irony with how the only people (en masse excluding outliers ) within that branch of the Christian faith are forbidden from marriage are the ones prolifically abusing others.

Maybe the Roman Catholic Church should look at changing their opinion on this topic if it's not one they've made irreversible dogma.

Only one? Pretty sure there's a few more of 'em around.
