Since we're talking about One Nation and their history of providing us with some truly exceptional candidates, this is from the PHON candidate for Macalister in the 2017 State election. One of the top ten twitter exchanges of all time.

Barnyard has always been a hype stock that strangely reminds me of the Guzman Y Gomez pattern but over a longer timeline - remember how Barnaby was the greatest retail politician of our time like these taco guys were the same for retail takeaway food?
Same pattern as their share price

"Frydenberg 'deeply offended' by question on politics"
Fun fact: Since 2014, national public approval of Frydenberg among polling respondents AFTER screening for the "Do you know who this bloke is" thing, was underwater every time, every year, until he was kicked out of his own seat 8 years in.

Bourbon snobs can say want they want about GTR bourbons (global travel retail - things designed exclusively for duty free sales), but this is amazing. And 122 proof is just about appropriate for the things I had to threaten people with today to finish off my last project for the year.

Look, I'm not sure the heat index is universally accurate. This means the apparent temperature is 68 degrees and I'm about to die of heat stroke. Like, I wouldn't go dig holes in this weather, but, you know, it's just another Thursday.

Some of you long known comrades have shared the joke about how you search for me and nothing turns up. It's mostly still the case (don't talk about your doing, there's no results to search etc). Google AI has just produced this which is better than most. Kids - your actions ARE your info, protect it

Deconstructed wanker lasagna. With a basil pesto. It was really tasty, will cook something like it again.
Had it with a prosecco just to add more essence of wanker. And a sourdough baguette for a capital W.
