What is your take on the reaction of people like Kirsten Neel?

"I'm moving to Australia, because their president is a Christian and actually supports what he says."

It is a knee-jerk comment of course.
And no one who has said anything about moving to Australia in the last 8 hours because the election didn't go their way will follow through, even if they could.
But this Tweet was so spectacular, it blew my mind.
We've come a long way as a country since the 70's when Dame Edna could make a film showing us walking pet emus in the street and palm it off overseas as a Doco.
But it seems we have a long way to go yet as well.

I thought that too at first, but as the Austrian President is an Agnostic member of the Social Democratic Party, I doubt it.

It was a spoof that was taken seriously by some people. Possibly due to the Dames admirable dead pan abilities.

I'm usually one of the first to excuse and forgive someone as a product of their education, but with the internet at ones fingertips these days I'm not sure that slides anymore.
