7. And our LNP federal government wants to take us back to the days of the White Australia policy.

Minister for Everything, Peter Dutton (aka Potatohead) and his minion, PM Turnbull, are currently engaging in racist profiling and dog-whistling against Muslims and more recently, African-Australians.

Australia was like this when I was growing up, but the White Australia Act was repealed in the 1960s, and we thought we'd entered the civilised world. But Dutton, Turnbull and their vile party are determined to take us backwards. They've recently devised a Citizenship Test that even university graduates would find it difficult to pass, and includes ludicrous questions on topics of the day that have no bearing at all on whether a person would make a good citizen or not.

Turnbull is Trump in a slightly better suit.
