Welp, at least you weren't voting for the Rise Up Australia Party.
Challenge: Watch the entire video and not rage. I can't do it...

Challenge lost.
I was wondering if this guy wasn't an American who immigrated to Australia, because he mentioned JFK so fervently and sounds like a Southern Baptist except with "America" replaced by "Australia". Oddly, Wikipedia says he's originally from Sri Lanka.
He also said "take the fight to the streets" and perhaps most troubling "Keep Australia Australian", which really is the KKK's motto with "America" replaced by "Australia".
He's horrifying. He's been opposing the building of a mosque in Dandenong, a primarily new-migrant suburb (54%), claiming it would cause issues for a nearby church. The mosque said 'no problem, we'll build in Bangholme, (an almost 100% industrial suburb)'. Nalliah tried to oppose that by putting in a permit to build a christian church nearby, and hence attempting to block it based on them being too close. The move failed.
There was a general consensus in the PUBLIC that Nalliah is an effquit, but he's backed by his own 'Catch the fire' ministry and group, and the ultra-fundy right.
Even the liberals, who are strongly right leaning, dismiss Nalliah and his group as whackos.
So what does one of the newly elected MPs for my area do? Cr Rosalie Crestani spends $360000 on a poll to determine whether the public thinks Nalliah is right or wrong, and then is accused of wasting rate-payer's money.
I'm all for going to one of either the council's meetings or one of his sermons to be the yin to his insane yang.
Regarding water, Victoria, Tasmania and Eastern NSW are going to be well off. Victoria attracts a lot of rain because of its temperate climate being occluded by cold sea winds and hot interior winds, and the Great Dividing Range helps to pull the rain down. NSW has similar.
Tasmania gets lots of water because it's very far south.
