#auspol Batman v Gina's new Thug.
Political meme parody of the classic “Batman slapping Robin” comic. Batman, wearing a dark costume, slaps Andrew Hastie in a suit with blond hair. He says, “We need to end the policy of mass immigration now….” Batman responds in a speech bubble, “Stop telling lies Hastie, you’re worse than Spud!” The caption at the bottom reads, “Batman v the New Thug – Batman takes on Gina’s latest thug. To be continued…….” The background is red and orange, with the image styled like a vintage comic book panel.

The mayor of Tamworth Council is a very old mate of Barnaby Joyce's and a National party member

No surprises this backward collection of red-necks drags their council to court on their ratepayers' money to oppose a wind farm - and even then can't get their legal arguments right

Tamworth Council went to court to try and stop a wind farm. It didn’t go well. Tamworth Council argued that the wind turbines would be too big for local roads. The judge pointed out there is no approval needed to drive on a public road reneweconomy.com.au/youve-got-to...

JD Vance grew up poor & his family received govt food stamps. Then JD Vance went to Yale. Now that he is rich, JD Vance doesn't want to give these same benefits to poor Americans. This is #LetThemEatCake level cruelty.

A Wojak style meme in three panels. It shows a depiction between Bearded Wojak and AnCap Wojak. In the first panel Bearded Wojak says "Should we house the homeless?" and AnCap Wojak replies "Hell no!" with a shocked expression. In the second panel, Bearded Wojak says "Lock them up for being poor?" and AnCap Wojak replies "Now we're talking!" while grinning, putting on sunglasses, and giving the thumbs-up sign. In the third panel, Bearded Wojak says "So... House them, but in the most expensive way possible?" AnCap Wojak makes no reply, but is looking annoyed.

digitally altered photo of Barnaby Joyce in a beige shirt and Pauline Hanson in a white wedding dress standing together outdoors. The man’s head has been edited with a smiling face, and the woman’s face is covered with a brown paper bag featuring a green supermarket logo cut to show her eyes. Text over the image reads: “MARK LATHAM,” “CRAIG KELLY” (crossed out with green lines), and “BARNABY JOYCE.”
