Yeah. People who've not been through it just don't realise what it's like.

For us it was quite uncertain that she'd get permanent residency. It's so bizarre to have a government department rule on such a huge part of your life and your future, and have no way to influence the outcome. It was stressful.

I kinda bear the emotional scars. Dutton was the Border Force Minister at the time we were going through that. God I hated him so bad and have done so ever since. I was so stoked last week to see that he will never be PM. Fuck you Dutt plug. I hope I never see your face again.

I genuinely enjoyed watching him fail

He looked lost and hurt, and I damned near got a stiffy

I'm an immigrant. I've contributed a huge amount to Australia, but my anger towards him wasn't on behalf of myself, but of the people he shat on purely because he likes to hurt people in order to feel strong

When a Queensland cop is hated by other Queensland cops, it's damning

Oh, and the blatant corruption. Somehow he's a multi-millionaire without anything fishy...

I just heard on the betoota advocate podcast that Dutton is in phuket at a thai boxing retreat.

I'm going to spend the next few days imagining him listening to eye of the tiger and punching a bag with Albo's photo stuck to it.

I think I mentioned my partner is Thai. Love watching thai fighters. Their lean muscle is just amazing. There's not much I wouldn't give to watch a 50kg Thai harpy give Dutton a black eye.

He's in the corner of Gina's basement, sucking his thumb and hoping that she will tell him that he's still special
