I agree with the people who are saying things to the effect of, "If it's not (that) then take a video of yourself doing it and email it to your boss, colleagues, clients, police etc. and see if they agree." It totally is. He knows it is. But don't be distracted by it. There's a lot of stuff that got signed off on today that's just utterly reprehensible. The more Australia distances itself from this shitshow the better. But when it comes to the rich and powerful there are always politicians who are willing to be a bunch of arse lickers and cosy up. I hope ours keep themselves out of it.

I hope so. I want no part of this shitstorm.
