Seriously! Comparing antivax to tienneman square? Yikes.

And he's doubled down on that in an interview with the ABC.

I was submitting cartoons just questioning all this.

Where "this", he alleges, is police shooting rubber bullets into the backs of proper leaving a protest. Certainly bad if it did happen, but Jesus Christ it's nowhere near comparable to Tiananmen Square.

He also complains about "woke" and being "cancelled".
