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.

A ban by Israel on 37 international NGOs, including Doctors Without Borders, took effect with the new year. Aid groups, the United Nations and at least 10 foreign ministers have condemned the move, warning it will exacerbate Gaza’s already catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

Our country is gone. My family has endured bigotry for decades, but now I’m broken A Jewish family like mine knows that Australia has antisemitism running in its blood.

Sad and deftly complex.

A shiny green fly resting on a gravel path. It looks as though it’s made out of metal. It is intensely green and shiny and its abdomen is divided into a grid pattern by thin black lines that make it look like it has abs.

I don’t really have anything to say that can’t and hasn’t been better said by everyone else but if anyone needs something unexpectedly pretty I went to a local nature reserve today and saw the most beautiful fly I’ve ever seen in my life:

Man on Fire (2004) sits at 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, proof that critics don't always see the vision. Tony Scott turned vengeance into poetry, and Denzel Washington gave one of his most quietly devastating performances.

@Joyce... 17h O
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciatesβ€” scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."

Assaulted and injured. Deprived of sleep and medication. Still illegally detained.

You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester.

Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.
