“Teals [work] to undermine democracy.” 👀👀👀
…Seriously?
That’s a huge, and disturbingly Trumpian claim from an elected Liberal MP.
Australia deserves better than “Jan-6”-style dog whistles.
Let’s leave Trump-lite politics overseas.

Tim Wilson, Liberal MP for Goldstein, is now claiming that community-based Independents (aka Teal independents) are seeking to "undermine democracy". Lies and fear-mongering. That's all Wilson has to offer. #auspol

Political systems will never collectively admit that some of the problems that exist have been entirely of their own creation - but especially with anything relating to family.
Ask the political system about blackfellas, for instance, as screamingly obvious Exhibit A.
