My partner hates that I can listen to stuff and work at the same time. I just tuned into this and it starts off with Shaun talking about Melbourne. So let’s go on an adventure with Shaun and see where we end up. It’s a two hour recording lol.

    I think it is actually important and extremely relevant to a lot of the politics going on in the Victorian Liberal Party at the moment.

    https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/liberal-women-demand-dumped-mp-moira-deeming-be-reinstated-20230616-p5dh54.html

    The Liberals who want Deeming reinstated to the Liberal party, and a lot of the media, keep claiming that the rally was just a “peaceful” rally about “women’s rights”, which was “gate-crashed by neo-Nazis”. The thesis of this video is that the rally and it’s organiser Kellie-Jay are actually inherently and fundamentally fascist and trans exterminationist, pretty much to the same degree as the literal Nazis in the early 1930s. If true, this really changes what is going on and shows exactly what kind of people a large part of the Liberal Party in Victoria really are.

      Good point. I totally forgot about Deeming. I bet the presenter doesn’t know much about Vic/Oz politics and probably didn’t pick up on this connection because after the intro and reference to the Melbourne rally they mostly focused on Kellie-Jay.
