The rise of One Nation in Australia makes me sick to my stomach, & deeply ashamed of my country. There are no depths they will not stoop to, no people they will not harm, in pursuit of power and profit. You might not feel vulnerable, but harming vulnerable people harms us all. We gotta call it out.
