Comment: If the text of the speech itself is removed (as it would have to be), what remains is one paragraph of text repeated twice, and a couple of sentences of largely non-notable information. bonadea contributions talk 14:01, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

In 2024, Australian senator Fatima Payman made a short speech to the Australian Parliament using Generation Alpha slang. Her choice of language resonated with young Australians and was a bid to engage younger generations who often feel disconnected from traditional political discourse. Key topics she touched on included high costs of living, housing affordability, and climate change. She also referenced the frustration many young Australians feel about student debt, advocating for changes such as removing the indexation on HECS-HELP loans.[1][2]
The Speech
[edit]She introduced the speech as addressing "an oft-forgotten section of our society", referring to Generations Z and Alpha, and said that she would "render the remainder of my statement using language they're familiar with". [3] The speech, written by a 21-year-old staff member, Ezra Isma, was labeled by some as an example of "brainrot" outside the online world. She said: [4]
"To the sigmas of Australia, I say that this goofy ahh government have been capping, not just now but for a long time. A few of you may remember when they said, ‘There’ll be no fanum tax under the government I lead.’
They’re capaholics. They’re also yapaholics. They yap non-stop about how their cost-of-living measures are changing lives for all Australians. Just put the fries in the bag, lil bro.
They tell us that they’re locked in on improving the housing situation in this country. They must have brain rot from watching too much Kai Cenat and forgot about their plans to ban social media for kids under 14.
If that becomes law, you can ‘forgor skull emoji’ all about watching Duke Dennis or catching a dub with the bros on Fort. Chat, is this Prime Minister serious?
Even though he’s the Prime Minister of Australia, sometimes it feels like he’s the CEO of Ohio. I would be taking an L if I did not mention the opps who want to cut WA’s gyatts and services tax.
The decision voters will be making in a few months time will be between a mid government, a dog water opposition or a crossbench that will mog both of them.
Though some of you cannot yet vote, I hope that, when you do, it will be in a more goated Australia for a government with more aura. Skibidi![5]
