Where the fuck are we politically when asio is telling the right they're being too xenophobic and hardline?

Fucking asio man, the org that pushed for the "we can hold you and you can't even tell a lawyer it happened" laws.

I kinda appreciate ASIOs current stance of talking more to the public where they can. I can’t be the only one that said “fucking finally” when they called for people to tone down the internet discourse. Even if it is a decade or so overdue.

I pretty much loathe asio and everyone that works there for being part of something that gives refugees infinite sentencing with no court, explanation, appeal, or parole.

That said, if they're doing anything to try address at horrible xenophobia then for all my contempt I'm still happier than if they weren't.
