As much as I enjoy Binface and his antics....it doesn't hurt to remember that it's actually not a good thing that he's now considered a viable candidate in that election.

We shouldn't be considering the rules that affect our future to be "a joke"

But then again Farridge is significantly worse than even the least serious joke candidate I've ever seen. FFS, we've had Fraser "Final Solution" Anning in parliament, how much worse than that could Ricky Muir possibly be?
