Favorite song

[blue, holding a headset that's playing music] I can't wait to listen to my favorite song, the 1940 recording of "SS Military March", it's an all time classic!

[green, shocked at blue] Uhm, dude... Are you listening to nazi music?

[blue, still holding the headset, while the notes coming out of it turn into swastikas] What? Why would you say that? Is this yet another woke attempt at cancelling everything I like based on unfounded allegations?

[orange] Okay sure, we did massacre the economy and make ourselves look untrustworthy and unstable, but...

[zoom on orange grinning] We can now say slurs at work without facing consequences

[newspaper clipping] Corporate America embraces a new era of conservatism under Donald Trump. Bankers and financiers say that Trump’s victory has empowered those who felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people. “I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say [r-slur] and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.”

[orange, celebrating] Worth it! I see this as an absolute win!

Australia celebrates International Day of Forests by seeing if Blinky Bill can still outrun a bulldozer

The nation has today kicked off a big environmental day in style!

With the International Day of Forests rolling around, Australia has looked to celebrate the occasion in trademark fashion.

With native forest logging still taking place across the Eastern Seaboard and Tassy, Australia is getting into the spirit of the day by seeing if national icon Blinky Bill can still outrun a bulldozer and wood chipper.

“We think it’s the perfect way to celebrate the day,” said a spokesperson for the timber industry.

(this is a few weeks old - International Day of Forests was on the 21st of March)

Pemulwuy will be recognised as nation’s first domestic terrorist under proposed Coalition changes to national curriculum

The federal opposition has today unveiled a bold suite of education reforms aimed at strengthening Australia’s national identity and cultural unity, including a proposed reclassification of Bidjigal warrior Pemulwuy as the country’s first domestic terrorist.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says the changes will help ensure young Australians learn the “full story” of colonisation, particularly the parts that reframe organised Aboriginal resistance as a threat to law and order.

“Pemulwuy led violent raids, destroyed crops, and disrupted peaceful British settlement,” said Dutton.

“In today’s terms, that makes him a terrorist.”

Local shoplifter claims he was just trying to balance his trade deficit with Coles

Local man Don has told shopping centre security that he did not attack Coles by stealing an entire shopping cart full of groceries, claiming that he was simply balancing a trade deficit.

The thief announced a sweeping plan to steal 10% of all items from every store, which he claimed will help bring down the heavily inflated prices of groceries.

Albo says weirdest thing about stage fall was seeing Barnaby Joyce sprawled on floor

The Prime Minister is physically okay but mentally shaken after falling off a stage at an event in Cessnock, only to see Barnaby Joyce taking a phone call on the ground below.

Albanese, who was giving a speech on ‘Same Job Same Pay’ laws, said the episode had taken him by surprise. “One minute I’m walking backwards off a stage after giving a speech, the next thing you know I’m face to face with the member for New England, who’s prone on the ground yelling ‘dead fucking cunt’ into his phone with his feet up on a planter box. It was quite terrifying actually,” Albanese explained.

Entire Coalition policy platform accidentally leaked on Signal group chat

In an embarrassing blunder ahead of the Coalition’s budget reply speech, shadow treasurer Angus Taylor has accidentally added an ABC journalist to the party’s Signal group chat, divulging a huge blank screen of secret policy detail.

The chat, which also includes Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and deputy leader Sussan Ley, reveals the extent of in-depth planning and sophisticated policy discussion that has taken place in the lead up to this year’s election.

Labor announces exact same climate promise as last election, “but for realsies this time”

The Labor Party have announced a groundbreaking new election promise to establish an EPA if they win the election, following 3 years of being in government after taking that exact promise to the last election.

A Labor spokesperson announced the policy has the party’s full support, unless of course word gets out that the Environment Minister organised a deal with The Greens and the Teals but the Prime Minister would prefer break the election promise than actually work with the cross-bench… again.

“You can trust our word,” said the spokesperson while updating the year on the old documents, “we swear we will think about not axing the policy this time.”

Nation exhausted by election that hasn’t even been f***ing called yet

A deeply divided Australia has found common ground in a shared feeling of complete exhaustion brought on by the federal election, before its even been fucking called.
