What is being ‘normalised’ through politics and media is abhorrent and dangerous.

Beware the new 'normal', it might be about to bite us
Some people just like power. Those same people enjoy sowing seeds of discord that they never have to actually solve, in order to keep it.

to be clear, police actively target Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. The passive voice framing of “disproportionate” impacts on Blak children implies happenstance. Kids in wealthy white areas shoplift, and steal cars, and smoke pot and damage property. They are not policed.
A review of Australia's human rights record by the United Nations has heard "serious concerns" about its low age of criminal responsibility and rising incarceration rates.

Since we're talking about One Nation and their history of providing us with some truly exceptional candidates, this is from the PHON candidate for Macalister in the 2017 State election. One of the top ten twitter exchanges of all time.

SA Premier Malinauskas, triples down on interfering with the Adelaide Writers Festival which then self imploded and was cancelled.
Can you imagine linking an award-winning author who opposed genocide to two hateful, murderous men?
Racism game is strong. 👇🏼

Pretty sure if most other people or companies created such a thing, the app would be not only dropped by Apple/Google stores, govts and businesses, but they would also charged by police.
Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.

Remember when the Australian Jewish Association fiercely opposed the Indigenous Voice to Parliament, calling it divisive and against Aussie values? Fast-forward to 2026, and they're backing Jillian Segal's role as Antisemitism Envoy—basically a Jewish Voice to Parliament without a referendum.

They're all pathetic losers who don't give a fuck. Maybe it's something from the goddam Midwinter Ball that makes the Nazi CSAM generation site so attractive to them all.
