Mr 'FlipFlop' Joyce believes whatever will get the most noise this week. He doesn't give a shit about religion.
Lived with his wife for years, they had two kids when suddenly it was a political priority to get the kids baptised and for the two of them to get married in a church.

I'd love for him to back this up: Find 100 first nations Australians who would agree that Australia is a Christian Nation.
Not because I don't believe there are 100 First Nations people out there who would say this, there probably are. But because it would do him a galaxy of good to actually go out and meet with 100 First Australians.

In an exchange posted on social media, Benjamin van der Linden from a group called Make Australia Christian Again asked Joyce if Australia was a Christian nation.

They are so creatively bankrupt they can only look to America and recycle the one time a slogan worked for them

Howe has praised Hanson’s call for a “monoculture”, saying it would include “immigrants like me and my family who assimilate and contribute to Australia”.

Howe is of Indian and Portuguese descent, and moved to Australia from England.

I love our multicultural society, where people from all different walks of life can come together to shit on each other

Yes and Trump got a "Peace Prize" so there you go, nothing to add, nothing to say, done deal, let's just collapse in a drunkard heap on the pavement, and eventually return to the bossom of his not until death us do part partner (who probably actually feels a great sense of relief)!

He would be the saddest and most misbegotten person in Australia if not for Poorline the Dense!
