@ozzie7769 Yep watch Road Runner & co. I don’t remember any of them portraying the murder of real people. Very different

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

One Nation used the most loved child’s cartoon character, Bluey, to run over politicians in an SUV! Bluey is also killed in the ON cartoon by an SUV.
Bluey is the love of Australian children. Innocent, decent, fun loving, positive & cute. Now stolen by ON… the loss of childhood.

@embeemusicstuff Cheers

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@embeemusicstuff As you know ON cartoons we’re of concern well before the recent attack on Helen Haines. Any violence is wrong… right left middle

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@Mrs_Bracknell See above … Phil

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@PhilbySydney Yep … got me there. But you know kids are still on social media. Who would have thought?
Doesn’t change my view on the use of Bluey to murder and to be murdered. Nor of using a cartoon to depict the murder of politicians.

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@embeemusicstuff Ok

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@Margare12740329 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

Me too … this old bloke loves Bluey. Especially watching it with the grandkids

[Helen Duggan @helen_duggan]

@Markyles And the children's parents and grandparents are rather fond of Bluey and her family, too. (She's a contributor to real social cohesion.)

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@Maverik023 So if it’s old… pull it down unless ON is using it for current purposes.
Bluey in South Park… haven’t seen it. It’s in USA where copyright laws are different but there is no evidence that SP got permission to use Bluey.

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@hine66622 Yep fair call. I didn’t like the ABC’s depiction of Ms Rinehart.
But because one mob does the wrong thing it’s not a licence for a free for all. Responsible people do not simply follow suit. The ON cartoons have parts of them which are simply wrong.

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

There are Australians who don’t like Penny Wong and the PM… in fact they hate them.
But it’s going too far … it’s barbaric…depicting Senator Wong being murdered… as in the ON cartoon.
Not funny … just vile https://t.co/IneSABK3D3

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@Maverik023 So the dated cartoon is not about something a couple years ago… it’s current.
And this is Australia and we have laws about what people can create and publish.

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@Maverik023 It’s still on line… if it has no relevance pull it down

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@embeemusicstuff This issue has nothing to do with the alleged attack on Helen Haines

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@thespice1122 @SeeParapet Funny… good point but it still doesn’t in any stretch of the imagination justify the creating and publishing of material which can promote violence . Nor does it justify the stealing of the identity of Bluey and bringing her to violence

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@Maverik023 I don’t watch it, like you, and like you I am aware of it and have spent sometime digging deeper into the issue. Nothing to do with Helen Haines. It’s about the promotion of murder of politicians and the bringing to violence the dearly loved children’s cartoon character Bluey.

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@LizSward @Migel7911 Cheers Liz but that last comment was from a bot which I hid and blocked

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@Maverik023 This is nothing about Helen Haines.

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@Maverik023 If it’s old and served its purpose pull it down and not keep having it available for anybody to see … including kids. BTW… there’s more than one cartoon that’s the problem

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@LeeRespecter So?

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@phien_ngung So your cartoons you watched… were they about real people? Or just road runner, bugs and co?

[Mark Eyles @Markyles]

@SeeParapet These ‘Please Explain’ cartoons are online… free to anybody. Ever thought a kid looking for a Bluey cartoon might come across this ‘inappropriate, vulgar and beyond their comprehension’ cartoon? If it’s not for kids, why doesn’t One Nation restrict it to adult viewing only?
