The 9pm Get Some Goddam Perspective
For nearly two weeks now, Australians have been more afraid of the fear of the risk of terror that ever before. We\u2019re going to war, and the defence minister is an idiot. But don\u2019t worry about why an event on the other side of the world is suddenly a threat here. We\u2019re going to go butt chugging.
What does any of this mean? Who knows.
But we do hear how terrorism alert rankings serve no purpose beyond encouraging a burst of panic and how we won the war on Thai chilli sauce, as well as the evacuation of the Westfield Burwood shopping centre and how that did not relate to any contemporary issue.
