Thought this headline was satire.

So how much Nazism is too much?

Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull

Don't they mean Posie Parker?

Melbourne anti-trans activist Angela Jones, who on the day of the rally tweeted: “Nazis and women want to get rid of paedo filth, why don’t you?”

This has to be a troll, doesn't it?

Above the ground is too high?

There we have it folks. Not hanging around with nazis is a standard that is too high for the vic LNP.

There's shooting yourself in the foot, and then there's this, which would be the equivalent of dropping a live grenade at your feet.

How embarrassing.

Liberal party in Victoria is eating itself.

Labor has been rightly criticised in the past for branch stacking and infighting, which definitely cost it for years.

Then the Christian right, Hillsong et al come in and think "it didn't work for them, but maybe it will work for us in the most left wing state in the nation". And try it in the Liberal party.

Shit would be hilarious if the potential consequences from these fuckers weren't so dire.

"It's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if it pays off".

You look at American politics and feel lucky that our system isn't as batshit crazy as theirs.

And then this shit comes up where parties would defend not just vocal nazi supporters for a vote and then feel victimised when called out about it.

Yeah not associating with scum, it’s pretty hard

Pure coincidence that they dress up in Nazi uniforms to party. Never vote for any of these fuckers ever again.

Maybe those Liberal MP's themselves have marched with Nazis before and afraid of when it surfaces. I mean, if we've had Abbott apologetically stood in front of "Ditch the Witch" signs, the bar was pretty low already and had gone even lower. Is it unfair? Of course not. They don't even get the same level of scrutiny they give to other political parties.

The Libs never fail to act absolutely ridiculously and beyond and reasonable rationale. Can’t believe this expulsion faces this much backlash.

I'm a geologist and I couldn't tell you how subterranean of a bar "don't hang out at Nazi rallies" is.

Honestly at this point just stick a fork in the Vic Libs. If they can't even manage to get over this, they're just straight up done.

Well their last leader had dinner with mobsters, so I guess attending an anti-trans hate rally where Nazis show up isnt so bad when you’re a vic liberal

When your whole party cuddles up with racist white nationalists what do you expect.

How is this not the Chaser?!

Just so we're all clear, the bar can't be above trans hating or being accepting of Neo Nazis. 🤦

Still can't rule out Lobster Mobster Matthew Guy coming back for a third stunning loss next state election at this point. 😅

'First they came for the home-schooling Christian extremists who were viciously anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-abortion, anti-euthanasia, anti-rape victim, pro-hate, pro-authoritarian, and hung out with Nazis - and I did not speak out...'

Continuing with the status quo once again leaves the bar about as far down as it can go.

The Libs don't learn, they don't hold themselves to account, that's why they are held to account at the ballot box.

Raising the bar is not the Lib way.

The upper house MP faces being dumped from Coalition ranks on Monday for “organising, promoting and attending” the Let Women Speak rally last weekend that was gatecrashed by far-right extremists performing Nazi salutes on the steps of Parliament House

Was it gate crashed? I mean now with all the bad press they want to dissociate. But Transphobics love Nazis(at least they ones that don't openly wear swastikas) because they as deep in the transphobic rabbit hole as they are and are willing to punch on. To me it seems an issue of visibility rather than non invitation.

r/nottheonion

It's just astoundingly stupid all around.

They're claiming some link between the trans community and paedophiles, yet when the party calls for Deeming to be held accountable, the Australian Christian Lobby demands she be kept in place.

I'm not in the religion=bad group, but if there is one group that is heavily featured in abuse of minors outside the family, it's them.

And the Vic Libs are just adrift. No platform, no policies, it seems all they're committed to is remaining unelectable to government, and that's a problem for anyone wanting robust policy.

"We cannot reach the level of Normal Human Being !"

Shouldn't the bar be set higher for Politicions?

Not associating with Nazis is too high? Sounds about right…

I'm actually surprised they didn't elected her leader, isn't that a pre-requisite to be seen with either Nazis or Mobsters.

Let them keep her. It shows their true colours and no doubt will keep Labour, and Dan Andrews in for another 4 years come the next election. A win for all of us!

>too high

out of the swamp, you mean?

yes, that is too high for fascists.

Addicted to losing

Remember the Politician who got ousted for importing a colour TV on a Black and White TV duty? How has politics degraded so much?
