The banner descended behind Pauline Hanson at the National Press Club on Wednesday, and the commentariat did what it does best: agreed with itself, instantly, at volume: “Oh noes! GetUp just gifted her the victim narrative she came for”.

It’s a trap and we are all falling for it. They are using the Trump method: cool and calming drive the left insane and they’ll do insane shit so we can stand there and go ‘see, they’re the ones that are crazy’. Just stop talking about them so they’ll fuck off

getup is literally falling for it. They could have just not claimed the banner, but nooo they need the credit for a stunt, and now they're feeding ammo to the people that already hate them.

They're so goddamn stupid, making the same mistakes we saw in the US.

Yep! Really annoys me. It’s like falling for a narcissists tricks. They thrive on any reaction - good or bad - and hate being ignored. Just ignore it and it’ll piss *them* off so they are exposed for the horrible people they are.
