This cartoon nicely highlights the stupidity of the Coaltion's 'plan without a plan'.
This satirical piece from the Shovel perfectly sums up the idiocy of the National Party.
The National Party has agreed unanimously to re-commit to its target of making the Liberal Party completely unelectable by 2050, saying it will continue to put forward ridiculous climate policies until every urban Coalition seat is lost.
Nationals Commit to Liberals Achieving Net Zero Seats by 2050 — The Shovel
"If we continue to take into consideration what Australians want done on climate, and then do the exact opposite of that, we can get a lot of those suburban seats changing hands pretty quickly"

Sadly, this satire captures the disgusting actions of Netanyahu. The slaughter of 18,000 children, shooting starving people queuing for food, bombing aid workers - it is hard to comprehend such evil.
"Nothing says 'moral fortitude' like overseeing the bombing of a UN food truck. This guy has probably never even bulldozed a hospital before."

My mother used to say you can judge a person by the people they choose to befriend. In Dutton's case, we have paedophile Cardinal Pell, disgraced and sacked Mike Pezzullo, and Gina Rinehart, whose own son hasn't spoken to her for 20 years.
If Peter Dutton and his Liberal mates want to posture as defenders of children, they could start by refusing to attend the funerals of paedophiles or write them glowing references.
This populist bullshit is offensive to CSA victims.
