- "australia is a hotbed of sexist, racist colonialism. Preach, . Fyi: .".
- "i see some white australians in the comments and quotes saying “australia is turning into america”. No, this is what australia has always been. For you to enjoy life as a white person in australia an indigenous australian has been uprooted and persecuted. That’s how settler colonialism works.".

Voice. Treaty. Truth.".
- "your party is a pathetic remnant of colonialism. You sell the lie of “progress” but you are the party of white australia policy, of mandatory detention of refugees, of punishing the unemployed, of supporting genocide, of expanding coal mines. I wish upon you the misery you have inflicted on others.".
