Peter Dutton has literally warned people not to be compassionate towards refugees, saying it’ll undo their deterrent to refugees.

OK can we just take a moment to acknowledge that that’s beyond satire. I can’t make a joke about him being an absurdly fiendish supervillain because he is one.

It’s not even ambiguous or subtextual, it’s overt: refugees must suffer. Refugees must be treated without a hint of compassion or empathy. Australia must be evil towards them. That’s official policy. That’s all Peter “get fucked” Dutton does. He might as well just change his official job title to “Minister of Torture and Dismay.”

The government wants the nation to erase its empathy towards humans in pain. Nothing could be more cruel. That’s some genuine fucking Nazi shit.

Fuck Peter Dutton. Fuck the government for being so cruel to refugees.

Donate to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre if you can, contact your MPs and Senators to tell them you won’t stand for this injustice, attend a protest rally if you can, and register to vote if you haven’t to vote for someone who has compassion.
