Malcolm Turnbull recently apologized for inviting an anti-gay Islamic preacher to iftar with him. Here’s seven times his own supporters or MPs were blatantly homophobic and he didn’t condemn it.

Move over, “hipster” Barbie, there’s another white archetype to mock: the well-meaning savior who volunteers in Africa. There’s nothing wrong with volunteering in Africa, of course, but “Savior Barbie” brilliantly satirizes when it becomes a problem. Her creators are even speaking from personal experience.

“Icarus. The original myth had two parts. Daedalus said to his son, ‘I fashioned these wings for you. Two rules. Don’t fly too high, or the sun will melt the wax. But, more important, son, don’t fly too low. Because if you fly too low, the water and the waves will surely weigh down the wings, and you will die.’ We’ve left out the second part of the myth. We don’t say to people anymore, ‘Don’t fly too low.’ All we do from the time they are 4 years old is warn them against hubris. We have created this industrially led structure that says: How dare you.”

This right here, ladies and gentlemen, just might be the best beauty-and-beast-story ever.

Because any little girl (or boy for that matter) should grow up knowing that you could be a giant green ogre, and you’d still be bloody gorgeous to the ones that matter.  And not in the “oh, I can overlook your flaws” -kind of way. But in the “those aren’t flaws, they are beauty spots!”-kind of way.

Rant finished.

Australian Federal Election Gothic

• The election is on the first good beach weather day of the year. The election is on the last good beach weather day of the year. There will be no more good days.

• You line up at the local primary school to vote. When you pass through the gates, you realise it’s the primary school you went to as a child, even though you’ve never lived in this area, or any area. Your teacher from Year One tuts disapprovingly, and pushes a blue cloth hat onto your head. “No hat no vote” she hisses.

• A fight breaks out between volunteers from Young Labor and Young Liberals, bedecked in suits of corflute armour. The instigators are dragged out of sight. The Sausage Sizzle will not run out of snags today.

• The fresh-faced AEC worker’s hand shakes as he crosses your name out in the huge book in front of him. He will not meet your eyes.

• The ballot for the Lower House asks you to number all the boxes in order of preference. The ballot for the Upper House is the size of a tarpaulin and asks you, in a terrifying deep voice you can only hear in your mind, to solve an ancient mathematical problem written in cuneiform and runes. The bodies of those who have failed are wrapped in their ballot sheets and piled next to the cardboard voting booths as a warning to others.

• You cast your vote. You cast your vote into the ocean, hoping it will drown. A new electorate forms beneath the waves, ruled by Harold Holt.

• News reports come in of polling booths without sausage sizzles. Riots break out over the country as voters, hungry and disenfranchised, take to the streets to voice their anger.

• Antony Green’s face fills your TV screen. His voices wavers as he begins to speak. Australia has lost the election. All party leaders give their concession speeches one by one. There is no victory for anyone here.
