Jacinta Allan: ‘Unharmed’ After Rally Drama While Butler Battles Tech Trolls

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan bravely declared herself ‘unharmed and undeterred’ after some unspecified chaos threw her day off—because nothing says leadership like a cryptic ‘incident’ statement. Meanwhile, federal minister Mark Butler dialed up the Game of Thrones vibes on ABC News Breakfast, warning that rallies filled with division, intolerance, and alleged police violence were “deeply unsettling” for Australians. Butler promised ‘proactive harm prevention,’ armed with jargon about ‘evolving technologies’ and ‘world-leading online safety reforms,’ which sounds like a corporate board meeting slammed into a TED Talk. He’s basically the tech industry's designated villain exterminator, aiming to make Australians safer without magic spells or a Hotline Bling where abused tech calls are made.

Mark Butler’s solution to rally violence? ‘Proactive approach’ to ‘new tech’ that sounds like a rebooted Terminator sequel nobody asked for while Jacinta Allan remains the unflappable VIP in a political game of dodgeball.

Jacinta Allan says she’s ‘undeterred’ after who knows what happened, which is classic politician-speak for ‘it wasn’t THAT bad until the cameras showed up.’
