Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Just another conservative.

And be an immigrant somewhere else? Americans always assume they will be welcome. I personally want character assessments for any coming to Australia.

And yet, the Young Republican bigots continued to commit their bigotry to text. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that older Republicans are prone to making stupid decisions too.

Age is not the problem.

Mindset, cowardice, corporate obligations are.

I don’t know where you live but there’s a whole lot of regular protests in Naarm/Melbourne that you’re welcome to come to and explain why we’re all useless and should bugger off

Older people, particularly older women, are the backbone of regular action on climate, on environment, on refugees and many other causes in Australia. I invite you to come to one of our protests and say that to our faces. seriously i mean it

It’s an easy trope. For clicks which it’s getting. It’s annoying but it’s gonna be them soon enough and I hope they enjoy it.

I’d say power crazed aged. Many of us boomers are quite happy to be retired.

Having a beard doesn’t make you senior. It’s not the 17th century FFS. The ABC have gone. Pathetic and shallow. Only a few quality nunataks poking through the bland mediocrity of our national broadcaster. Good night, and good luck.

The beard has not enhanced his looks or his maturity. Young lib forever this one.

A puff piece for the young liberals - I think it went for almost 15 minutes.
I expect a young labor piece tomorrow in the interest of the ABC being bipartisan.
😭 I want my abc back.

And now a political promotion on behalf of the Liberal party.
Oh I thought I tuned in to “ABCs’ premier news commentary program” , my mistake.

Sack the fucking ABC board. The lot of them. Long overdue. Get Mark Scott back and pay him disgusting amounts of money to get the place back to competence.

I agree. They will find a reason for recommencing the killing and destruction. Why stop now when they have almost reached their goal of destroying a civilisation? The ultimate goal is to make Gaza a Middle East riviera (by Trump’s own admission). The true definition of evil. #auspol
