Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

Yeah, Angus Taylor seems to forget that one of the Bondi terrorists was born in this country, raised in this country, educated in this country - just like the Australian terrorist who committed mass murder in New Zealand, just like Port Arthur murderer, Martin Bryant.
Angus Taylor refers to the "Islamic terrorist attack" in Sydney, then segues neatly into a rant against migrants who do not share "Australian values" (whatever he thinks they are). He's just another Islamophobic bastard who rejects our values of tolerance, inclusion & appreciation. #auspol

Almost seven years ago, Angus Taylor gassed up his own Facebook post. What happened and why are people talking about it again?

OK Josh, so there’s a leadership challenge incoming, but everyone is talking about this “Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus” meme, so where did it come from?
It’s one of the great memes of Australian political history, Krishani. Let’s go back to May 2019, when Taylor was the minister for energy in the Morrison government. Just weeks before then PM Scott Morrison would win “the unwinnable election” against Bill Shorten, Taylor was in the midst of local politicking, posting on Facebook about transport projects in his electorate of Hume. “1000 extra carparks for rail commuters right across the north of Hume!” he posted online, with a video of himself speaking to the camera outside a local train station.

Even before he entered federal parliament in 2013, Angus Taylor was touted as a future leader of the Liberal party, and a future prime minister.
“Smart, rich and handsome,” one headline dubbed the incoming member for Hume. A Rhodes scholar, management consultant and scion of one of the New South Wales Monaro region’s founding families, Taylor was described as having a CV almost “too good to be true”. One enthusiastic journalist even suggested he had “the looks and the charm of a young Kennedy”. Continue reading...
