Do you hear the distant crackling of #Libspill flames? Can you smell the noxious fumes from a raging bin fire? Can you see the tall plume of smoke from our democratically elected leaders bursting into flame?

Of course you can’t, because you’re just a sassy bird who’s over all this shit.

As Peter Dutton seems poised to steal the Prime Ministership away from the actual guy from the Monopoly box, Malcolm Turnbull, it’s worth really getting in deep with the politics and machinations that helped make this happen.

What is a Libspill? Why is a Libspill? How is a Libspill. We just don’t know.

Or, if you’re like me, we could not, and we could just be sassy birds instead.

Bird, bird, bird, bird is the word.

BIRDS

“Politics is a joke! I feel disenfranchised!”

 

TFW you hate democracy and you’re a fierce sassy bird.

 

“Watching another Australian Prime Minister flash past into the anals of history (this is a joke).

 

*Stares directly into the camera like Jim from The Office* What is going on?

BIRDS BIRDS

“Wow! Our country has no dignity!”

 

Hordes of Australian’s fleeing to New Zealand.

BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS

Not only is our country run by evil, child-detaining ballbags, but they’re incompetent child-detaining ballbags who can’t maintain a stable evil government.

When your instinct is to try and switch off and ignore the roaring dumpster inferno that is our country, but then you also know that positive change doesn’t come from disengagement with politics and it’s our duty to agitate for the world we want to live in, and also you’re a sassy bird.

 

But then also you remember that a leadership spill happens every 2.5 seconds in Australia, and maybe it’s best for your own sanity to take a break and watch Parks and Rec or something. And you’re a beautiful sassy bird.

 

fuck this garbage country
