One member of the National Party has today tried to stem the current bleeding from some bad press in recent days and weeks, by explaining to a farmer why he and his mates don’t mind a bit of Nazism right now.
The young man named Tommy Cottrell (23) has done so by trying to swing public perception in his hometown of Armidale.
Cottrell’s efforts come after recent reports uncovered rampant alt-right infiltration in the Young Nationals, leading to party resignations and resignations.
He told The Advocate that he spent a good five minutes with a local farmer this afternoon, trying to demonstrate to him why there is such a groundswell amongst the Young Nationals in regards to Nazism.
“So, Nazism is actually quite a great ideology for our party and our nation to adopt,” he told the confused farmer whose father risked his life-fighting in Europe during the Second World War.
“A lot can be learnt from Mein Kampf,” he said.
“Obviously a lot of good stuff on ethnic cleansing, but there is also some really great information on sustainable agriculture, best farming practice, and rural healthcare!”
At this point, the farmer told the young man to pull his head in.
“Jesus Christ,” the farmer said.
“There’s a fair bit going on right now, and you wanna go around preaching shit about National Socialism. You know there’s a drought on right?”
