Babet is a known far-right crank who rode in with the antivaxer movement. He represents not even mainstream culture-war conservatism (the Liberal Party, currently in opposition, does that), but what Australians refer to as “cookers”: the fringe of conspiracy theorists and aggrieved boomers whose brains have been devoured by the Murdoch media. The kinds of people who smuggle horse dewormer to treat their wind-turbine syndrome.
