Fiona Patten launches #FightStupid Campaign Reason Leader and Member for Northern Metropolitan Region has today launched a new campaign #FightStupid. Because, some things are just plain stupid and need to be called out. Street posters have gone up around Melbourne emblazoned with examples such as “5G does not cause coronavirus” and “Wash hands – yes, drink bleach – no.” Ms Patten is asking the community for suggestions for what else is stupid and should be added to the list. Ms Patten has been thrilled with the positive response so far and is pledging to continue “Fighting Stupid” – on the streets, in the media and on the floor of the Parliament. She says, “Together, with facts, with evidence and with Reason – we can defeat Stupid.”

I'm on board.

whats really sad is that there is a need for it at all.

I contributed to the Australian Sex Party with time and research back in the day fighting ISP-level censorship and some of the stupid Family First and ACL debates as a volunteer researcher when Fiona headed the Australian Sex Party.  That bloody Wendy Francis, she was destroyed on air, good times...

"The Reason Party" is a much better fit, but she's still fighting the good fight.

Wish she was a member up in QLD and I hope if she's still aiming for it, a seat in the senate.

Reason in QLD? Thats unthinkable.

Imagine making generalisations about millions of people.
That's unthinkable.

Fair go, we've got a pretty bad track record up here...

We meed more reason, logic and forward planning in our political decision making.

Generalisations based on decades of evidence. Sir Joh anyone? Fine Cotton, the whole attitude to state of origin.

Double standard. Now I understand.

You've done it before why are you whining about me doing it. Plus isn't NBA a generalisation of good things? I'm giving generalisations of bad things, plus didn't realise Qld was a race

I know right. You'd think I'd be used to do-gooders doing back-bends.

Nicotine is a stimulant, Doc. I'll have a Jim Beam, instead.
