Point taken. I did look it up because I expected half of it to be true.

In Australia we have two satire sites called Betoota Advocate and The Chaser which sometimes are about 80% factual (about conservatives).

#Robodebt will have at least created a generation of citizens who understand the level of government corruption. It was an actual conspiracy.

My favorite Chaser is from their TV show when they dressed as Bin Laden and bypassed security to get near George Bush.
