May 2014: Senator Bill Heffernan complains about the lack of metal detectors in parliament, tabling a pipe bomb he's brought with him as evidence

someone questioned the quality of the image and thought it might be AI and I'm here to confirm this is real

HEY, FELLOW HATERS OF INSANELY-BRIGHT CAR HEADLIGHTS, SOMEONE HAS STARTED A PETITION TO REGULATE THEM.

It's an official petition through the Australian Government's e-petition page, which means if it gets enough signatures, it will be tabled in government.

You do have to be an Australian citizen to sign it, BUT!!! PLEASE REBLOG THIS EVEN IF YOURE NOT, because these kind of things have a roll-on effect, and if Australia legislates LED headlights, then other countries may follow.

FYI, the petition asks only for your name and email, and once you've clicked the sign button, they'll send you an email to confirm your signature --- you need to click the confirmation link in the email to have your signature counted.

@batshit-auspol help some bros out

Lets gooooooooo

The polls are closed and it's official, with over 1800 votes cast (!) and only 4% voting against it (!?!?!) - the overwhelming majority of you voted that we are doing All Nut April to promote the Slur Song.

God help us.

While you're of course free to partake in any way you see fit, here are the official groundrules to try keep this thing from veering off a cliff:

Happy nutting. There is 24 hours to spread the word, so be plentiful with that reblog button.

And we're off to a flying start with over 50 nutters from early April entrants in Australia and New Zealand.

All sorts of personal nuts have been achieved, from the classic to more inventive approaches to AllNutApril including someone eating a granola bar, many pecan enjoyers, and one person saying they would be adding nut to their Baklava which ... well I really hope you mean pistachio and not... you know what you do you.

Big shoutout to @minimalundmaximalverwirrt who reported they hit their daily quota while streaming the Slur Song. Here's the link if you'd like to challenge yourself.

For those that would prefer to be anon, there will be a daily poll for you to log your participation:

Well, this election's off to about a good a start as we should have expected

Just spent over an hour on a customer support line talking to half a dozen different people across five separate transfers, and the final resolution was that they were unable to help me because at some point in that process I'd somehow been transferred to their Australian branch. I didn't even know they had an Australian branch.

I wonder if they just transfer everyone they don't want to deal with to Australia.

Okay so for international followers who aren't aware, election season in Australia is basically the biggest comedy event of the decade. Australian culture does NOT tolerate people who try to big up themselves or rock the boat, so a bunch of billionaires and politicians suddenly appearing everywhere claiming how great they are is basically painting a giant target on their backs to be mocked, tarred and feathered.

This is so much the case that the Australian national broadcaster The ABC used to even have a whole running series during elections where they would send out fake journalists to mock politicians and crash their events to spread chaos which was one of the highest rating shows on TV.

Pranks included trying to replace the microphones at press packs with baguettes and seeing how long it takes the politicians to realise, a kid cracking an egg on a neo-nazi's head, and a comedian chasing the Prime Minister down the street with a chainsaw.

Obviously politicians didn't like this so eventually the show was pulled from TV, but that just left a giant hole for the internet to fill where a bunch of pranksters untethered by TV standards now turn up to all political events trying to clown on the politicians.

At the last election, the national clowning included a remix of the Prime Minister's debate into a song called "coal makes me cum" which cut up the Prime Minister's words to make it sound like he jerks off to fossil fuels (the guy one famously brought a lump of coal into parliament to show off how much he loves it, so it was deserved).

This song ended up getting over a million streams and hit number one in the charts during the election. Not only that it even got enough write in votes for the Hottest 100 (our national yearly song poll that's a huge event in Australia) that it ended up ranking despite not being in the official voting list and as a result the national broadcaster had to play it on air.

The song made a laughing stock out of Scott Morrison, the Prime Minister at the time, and he and his government were absolutely annihilated on election day.

As for the second one, we inadvertently informed a bunch of people about the next election announcement yesterday when we joked about it on a poll about cum (see previous reblog). Apologies if this is how any of you are now learning about the election.

you guys will never guess what our entry to Eurovision this year is about

Why are we like this

Hello to all Australians seeing the post! It is currently the 28th of March 2025, and the election has been announced for May 3rd!

If you are eligible to vote, make sure to check if you’re enrolled to vote and ensure that you’ll be able to vote!

This is a very important election so we’ve all got to do our bits!

I’m pretty sure that Australians don’t have more then maybe 30-50k MAX people on tumblr. Like American had some 30 million users in 2020 (aka basically probably peak over the last 7 2018-2025) while Australia only has 26-28million people depending on who you ask (27 to be safe) so I’m just genuinely curious how many of us there must be on here.

If you Currently live in OR were born / raised in Australia and ID as (born/raised + ID, as I know a lot of born/raised here don’t ID as Aussie) you are Australian in this poll!

Please reblog for bigger sample size

Roll call

Cannot emphasize how funny it is that @bigfoots-biggest-fan got a writeup in one of the biggest American culture newsletters yesterday but didn't know it was happening which meant the top post on their blog was a copy paste of the John Green monologue.

Couldn't think of a better way to reintroduce the world's journalists and celebrities to tumblr.
