Rise Up Australia Party founder, pastor Daniel Nalliah fronts court for assaulting a woman. And then applies for a suppression order because it will stress his congregation out. Here’s an idea Danny. Don’t assault women. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #ChurchToo

If you want your finger on the pulse of what the cognitively coherent, centrist & most importantly, decent population think, theres no better barometer than Peta Credlin. Just read her stuff & assume the opposing standpoint & you're there. Props for being ALWAYS wrong though Pete

There it is. The link between conservative politics, far right and ultra conservative fringe groups and white supremacists. Moira Deeming can deny all she likes. If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, hangs out with other ducks…

The bit about Paul Pettit taking credit for getting Chris Crewther elected spikes my curiosity - as does the Liberal value of party loyalty. Why is a Freedom Party guy working so closely with a Liberal MP who famously flies out on the right wing? What is their relationship now?

1. Part of what mystifies me about organised, politicised religion is this: many of them believe in a god who gives us free will, but at the same time they seek political influence and dominion to take that very thing away. The cognitive dissonance is mind boggling.

I did Moira Deeming the dignity of actually listening to the entirety of her maiden speech. In my opinion, she represents the most dangerous type of extremists: those who combine facts with hyperbole to create a far grimmer picture than actually exists in reality. Beware Beware
