And how fortuitous was it that Avi Yamini/Rebel News was there - on a lonely stretch of SA road - to capture this "injustice" and interview this "brave" women 😏 Another serial pest who gives rise to these cookers

"The same nativist impulse that drove Brexit and today propels Nigel Farage’s ascendant Reform Party in Britain is also driving Trump’s MAGA movement and the far-right insurrection in many European nations. Hastie intends to be riding the train when it arrives in Australia."
Hastie’s got the right stuff but one obsession may fast-track or derail his ambitions
The Sydney-born Liberal MP is in no hurry to challenge for the leadership, but he’s already staking out a more conservative ground for the party.
