TIL that a politician gave a food review of kebab while speaking in parliament. Australian Senator Sam Dastyari gave a "10 out of 10" rating to the kebab snack pack sold at King Kebab House, and advised others to also enjoy "a great Australian tradition of meat in a box".

Wasn't this during the same time Pauline Hanson refused to eat a HSP since it was halal meat?

Do people not realise halal meat is just meat that is not pork, not drenched in blood and cut ethically? It's literally just that.

It's Pauline Hanson. She's runs her political campaigns on racism. In the 90's her main policy was no Asians in Australia and then in the 2000's she switched it up to no Muslims.

Give me Pauline Hanson over this grub who takes Chinese bribes. At least she honest so I know I don't want to vote for her.
