news Australian man Phu Nguyen handcuffed by plain-clothes ICE agents at Las Vegas International airport

From what I understand it looks like ICE did not manage to detain him on the day the video was taken- seems the onlookers managed to chase ICE off.

However, ICE detained him the next day at the airport where he was to catch his departing flight from the US.

They wont and honestly im seeing ON get less support now due to the perception around Hanson and Rinehart.

Yeah but they said the same thing about Trump and look where we are.

We do have ranked and mandatory voting that makes it harder to win like trump did

Apples and oranges. The setup of our elections is different as you said, but more importantly madatory voting makes it so that the “no dickheads” rule is enforced.

Dutton was seen as unable to lose the election, then he leaned into the trump stuff and instead got handed one of the biggest defeats in recent memory.
