I might also add, from a personal perspective: this is a wonderful, beautiful building, that contains some of Australia's most important historical shit, manned (lol) by brilliant volunteers who are incredibly passionate about what they do.
Last time I was there (at an event), they took a photo of me holding the former Parliamentary Mace (or a replica, at least). It was fucking awesome.
It is seriously, seriously brilliant, and NOWHERE in Australia deserves to be attacked less than that building does, and by extension the people who work there, do...
This is an attack on what is left of "democracy" in this country, and it absolutely should not be tolerated, let alone condoned by the fucking evil media in this shithole...
Canberra is the coldest Australian city, by far... It gets down to -12C sometimes...
I know it's all relative, but I've been there in those conditions, and it ain't fun...
Hence how they "justify" their fires... rolls eyes
Also gets to like 40C in Summer, because it's an inland shithole...
So I see your point, but... Nah. It's more what happens when a society becomes so scared of "seeming racist" that they refuse to kick the fucking extremists off the fucking lawn...

They STILL have that tent city outside of Parliament? Holy fucking christ, it was there when I visited in '95.
I guess that's what happens when there's no real winter.

Well, I was being a bit facetious. Cabin fever. Weather here has been ... less than hospitable since Christmas.
