#fuck peter dutton

[ultravioletrayz]

i just wanna go on a little invasion day rant because i'm high rn and bored on the public holiday lol.

obviously i'm all for changing the date to honour the fact that this nation is stolen land and has been built on the neglected and abused backs of our beautiful indigenous people. Fuck the colony and fuck Peter Dutton.

but outside of that, Australia day is fucking stupid in general. "every country has a day" yeah and jan 26 is a stupid day. it is not a celebration of australia, it is a celebration of Britain and a bunch of dumbass boats. other nations' days are in honour of independent, culturally significant empowerment within a country's developmental history. ours is not a true representation of australia's initial development into a rich nation.

with that being said, i propose that the date of our country's national holiday be changed to july 9; the date the australian constitution was signed and we officially became a federation rather than a regionally divided, brit-ruled colonial prison island.

it celebrates our more formal, legislative beginning as a nation 'independent' of Britain and marked a more appropriate and realised encapsulation of australian views and policies. and, it allows jan 26 to be observed by indigenous people as the tragedy it really was.

idk, that's what i think and its just my opinion... but my opinion is correct lmao

a big fuck you to anyone that celebrated yesterday, and my heart goes out to all the aboriginal people mourning and struggling during this time <3

So in conclusion:

Peter Dutton has jumped from a non constitutionally enshrined voice as an alternative to the Voice, to just elect him as leader next election, because that apparently will work just as well

FUCK PETER DUTTON DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM WHEN IT’S TIME

From a fellow Australian to others! Let’s not let misinformation divide us.

[onthebirdroads]

peter dutton's big new idea to help you with the cost of living is to.. *checks notes* let your boss claim it back on tax if they take you out for lunch or a golf trip.

He has also "pledged to address inflation by "cutting government waste," singling out the jobs of 36,000 public servants hired under Labor."

He wants to sack tens of thousands of people because providing services is "wasteful". Centrelink phone wait times are down, claims processing times are down, backlogs are down, all because they hired over 4000 extra people (and provided 4000 jobs), but that is "wasteful".

Peter Dutton, Islamophobe and racist extraordinaire!

i have some questions around the moral ideologies of an ex qld pig and current liberal leader

[ehlnofay]

fucking hell man. this is really disappointing. I really hoped the voice would go through... very upsetting it's been categorically refused. it's such an inoffensive proposal, its worst possible outcome is uselessness, and conspiracy theories and baseless ignorance won out. I knew we had a long way to go but jesus fucking christ. hope all the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people out there are doing alright

Every single liberal leader fills me with absolute seething rage whereas Labor leaders are just kind of eh, like disappointing, you're not doing bad but you're not doing that great. But at least you're not fucking Peter Dutton, scomo, Tony Abbott or John Howard whose name I had to look up because I forgot it.
