So Christian Porter was saying this was the right decision yesterday, but today? Apparently the coalition always intended to vote against, Christian Porter doesn't even read the actual motions & all the helpless robots sitting seats in the senate were forced to press the wrong button against their will.

I'm reassured my country is in good hands knowing the level of thought and analysis that goes into our government's efforts to ensure our laws are properly scrutinized before they're voted upon.

40 dead and over 20 seriously wounded in terror attacks on mosques in New Zealand. One of the shooters apparently took video of the shootings and released a manifesto - seem to be white supremacists. NZ was the last place I expected to have these kind of militant and armed white supremacists, but I guess that shows how little I know. Just awful.

I was about to ask if you and yours were okay, Naxza. Pretty sure last I heard you were in Auckland but my memory is garbage.

Last major terrorist attack here was the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior back in 1985. There was a failed plane hijacking in 2008, but that's it. What happened today is... unprecedented. I never thought anything like this would happen, or even could happen, so close to home.

4 individuals apprehended, 3 in direct connection to the shooting. The main shooter was livestreaming to facebook for 15 minutes of the shooting. A vehicle was found with multiple IED's, which the terrorist never got to use.

Death toll is up to 49, expected to rise.

The shooter himself (don't know about the other three arrested) is Australian and an immigrant to NZ, so, despite railing about immigration, he apparently never saw the irony in being an immigrant as well.

Isn't it a wonderful world we live in, where extremists from every spectrum of religion can come together and target the innocent just wanting to live their own lives in peace?

I'm sorry to my brothers and sisters in New Zealand for the garbage that floated over the Tasman from our continent. Please feel free to dump it back in, with some weights.

Yeah, and gotta love the comment from Fraser Anning saying “Does anyone still dispute the link between Muslim immigration and violence?”.

And then there's good ol' Milo Yannowimapopulist stating things to the effect of "This is what happens when you let Muslims go unprosecuted" and also "The Left did it".

The link, of course, is bigoted fascists flipping their shit because "the immigrants!" and going on rampages.

It's terrible. It also feels doubly....nauseating because it was one of us Aussies who went over to our pals in NZ and did this. So disgusting. I feel like the world died and got reborn into a darker image of itself after 9/11. It feels like things are slowly going downhill ever since that day.
