And of course, Channel 7 and Channel 9 have published hit-pieces against the Privacy Commission in defence of Bunnings.

They have broadcast video of employees being attacked!

Are they somehow suggesting that if Fighty McStealy had been facially-profiled on entering the store that he wouldn’t have done a meth rampage against old mate in a green apron?

Of course not. All methy agro maniacs carefully consider surveillance before going ballistic at random.

I love how people make such broad statements as though the ALP and LNP aren’t complete fucking shitballs but hey… The Greens policies… After all it took 50 years ti get to the stage so we best keep digging the same hole with the tweddle dum or tweedle dee. As though a livable planet is such an unecessary thing and not the basis of everything we are.

One can only hope they get seriously fined for that, maybe per incident of scanning someone. But I doubt it.
