I feel so buoyed up and proud to be Australian today. We’re still a flawed country with an unforgivable track record on our treatment of Indigenous people and asylum seekers, but we just delivered a resounding nationwide “no, fuck you” to the awful lizard man who thought he was going to rise to power on Trump’s coattails by way of an imported American-style culture war. The Coalition has spectacularly lost the election and we’ve bought ourselves another three years of sane, sensible leadership under a centre-left government.
It’s been terrifying to see that fascist bullshit leaching into our political waters. I’m relieved beyond words that the backlash against it has been so decisive - the wingnuts are loud and good at making themselves sound big, but our nation still has its soul and I love us for it.
Also I’m sorry but it’s really fucking funny to see Dutton so humiliated. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer piece of racist, sexist, MAGA-bootlicking trash.
