Pauline Hanson Is Actually Filthy That Overseas Gamers Are Crushing Our Own

It’s a legitimate issue, considering how much work – and, increasingly, how much of our lives – necessitates a reliable internet connection. Now, the cause finally has a champion: Senator Pauline Hanson. And she’s seemingly been clued into the issue by disgruntled gamers. 

Hanson announced earlier today that she’ll be sitting on the NBN Committee, asserted that she’ll fight for better connections, and encouraged her constituents to share their experiences with laggy-as-hell internet.

That they did, and the results are goddamned incredible: 

@bawdz @australian Thanks Chris! We need faster internet in this country because right now our speeds are lagging.

@bawdz @australian Kids from the bush tell me because their speeds are so bad they keep getting beaten by gamers from overseas- Unacceptable

YUP. Pauline Hanson just took it upon herself to champion the cause, partly due to the fact Aussie gamers are being ROFLstomped by international competitors. 

Anyone who has shaken their fist at a screen as their ping goes through the roof will attest it’s a thorough annoyance, but a legitimate senator has now given gamers the be-all and end-all excuse for losing. 

Her almost charming innocence regarding the issue was compounded when she unloaded this take on another commenter’s FIFA woes:

@heapsdrunk @bawdz @australian Sounds awful, I will do what I can to help. In the mean time have you tried real golf? It’s usually lag free.
