So that’s what it was.
Family First leader Steve Fielding has told the party’s campaign launch in Melbourne that a vote for Family First is a vote for common sense and balance in Parliament.

I was driving down Manningham Rd in Lower Templestowe today and saw a huge group of people standing around in white Family First t-shirts with Family First balloons and a trailer decked out with Family First posters. Steve Fielding was prominent in the group. But here’s the thing — this whole thing was going on in the forecourt of an abandoned service station! What kind of point were they trying to make with that choice of location? Something about the impact of petrol cartels?
Try as I might, I can’t find any kind of God connection, although there was some guy standing up the back wearing a long flowing robes, crown of thorns, and a luxurious beard…

God can always make more fossil fuel ’cause it doesn’t take eons to form if Genesis says he made it in a day?

A scene from Zoolander comes to mind. But seriously, didn’t jesus drive out the bowsers from the forecourt of the temple? Ai Ya! Until these perverts, I couldn’t imagine a group I could put Pauline Hanson above on a voting ticket.

Well, Family First has put Pauline above everyone but the Libs in Queensland.

The Age says Family First have placed Ms Hanson 47th out of 65 on their Senate how-to-vote card

Yeah, but barring the Liberal Party candidates, the 46 candidates above Pauline Hanson are micro parties with no chance of election.

I crunched some numbers through the ABC senate calculator and it looks like One Nation, and not Hanson, will be the chief benificiary of the FF preference deal.
Even Senator Bartlett is consider more evil then One Nation and Pauline according to Fuckwits First.
