I imagine that a society that votes in a wannabe fascist dictator will continue to be a bastion of safety for people of different racial backgrounds. I know if I was fleeing violence and gangs I look for somewhere with a nice welcoming camp just waiting for me.

I really hope Australians heed this lesson before our next election, although I won’t be at all surprised if they don’t.
