United Australia Party Senator and Parliament’s top shitposter Ralph Babet has been busy lately — not that much of it has had to do with representing the people of Victoria.
Between the attempted assassination of former US president Donald Trump, a Tenacious D joke, the likely replacement of 2024 Democratic nominee Joe Biden with Kamala Harris, and the Olympics’ “demonic and deranged” opening ceremony, there’s been a lot to post about.
But it doesn’t appear much of it is directed at an Australian audience.
I was unable to speak to Babet for this piece. Someone in his office told me the senator was “overseas”, promised to get back to me, and never did.
