“We have hit a tipping point where the civil rights of an #individual need to be put aside for the #CivilRights of a #community. When a community doesn’t feel #safe, you have to act and you have to make sure there’s a #deterrent and a #consequence.
In my home state again [#Queensland], I would encourage every state to do this, we’re going back to #outback camps where we are rebuilding these young people with a life #skill. Not putting them behind barbed wire but sending them to remote places, giving them a skill and #purpose in life.” — David Littleproud

"SPORTS! That's what creepy boys need, SPORTS!"
"But I don't like..."
"SHUTUP!"
Round and round we go. They were saying this in the 80s when I was kid, bullied by the sports kids. Just as well I didn't have have Silicon Valley nihilism to turn me, but I was too busy pushing down feelings of Queerness so I could 'fit in'
