What the hell is going on in Australia?

[Aimless]

I sometimes feel like that crazy continent is really going mad in its isolation.

You mean with the carbon tax thing?

[Aimless]

I mean with everything. Carbon tax, weird new unemployment benefit rules, considering passing a "prove you're not a jihadist" law, religious nutjobbery, etc etc. It's like a parody of Star Wars.

I'm not seeing the unemployment benefit rules or jihadi stuff on my lazy Google searches...just photos of some Aussie guy holding up beheaded infidels.
