Adventures of a confused Australian

I passed. I graduated. I have my master’s in Museum Studies now.

The Australian Government will fund a $4.1 million TV drama to deter Asylum Seekers from coming to Australia.

Proposed scenes include:

Misrepresenting the threats Asylum Seekers face by replacing ISIS extremists with flowers that walk around yelling compliments at people and threatening them with hugs thus making it seem like there’s no reason to flee their country!

A giant Tony Abbott coming from the depths to devour a boat carrying refugees like a Kraken!

A stern hyper-masculine Aussie action hero named Bruce Steele fighting hordes of people smugglers with machine guns and saying dramatic one liners like “I haven’t seen a mess like this since Labor was in power” as he stands over the strewn corpses of the men he has killed!

Children exploding!

Racial stereotypes!

The details of the Moss Report read aloud (but paradoxically also downplayed as unimportant and politically biased)

Scott Morrison and Peter Dutton signing a blood pact to take down Gillian Triggs (with as many explosions as possible)

Homeless People Read Mean Tweets About Themselves To End Stereotypes

When celebrities read mean tweets about themselves, it’s funny. When homeless people do it, it’s heartbreaking.

In a powerful PSA by Canadian advocacy group Raising the Roof, people who are dealing with homelessness read actual tweets written about those living without stable shelter. See all of the emotional reactions here.
