【The Playbirds】

Conservative politician George Christensen has been a bad,The Playbirds bad boy on Twitter.

Australian parliament was interrupted Wednesday by an estimated 30 protesters, there to demand an end to what they see as the inhumane treatment of refugees.

But rather than hear them out, politicians either walked straight out, turned their backs or, in some cases, implied the need for corporeal punishment.

Protestors from Whistleblowers, Activists and Citizens Alliance (WACA) linked arms and reportedly even superglued their hands to part of the building in defence of refugees stuck in mandatory detention centres offshore.

But for hard-right Christensen and co., they were but smelly hippies in need of a good whipping.

Yep, you read that correctly. A politician is implying the use of rather bizarre form of violence on peaceful protestors. Though, he did clarify it was a joke. Get it?

But he wasn't alone in his disdain toward the concerned citizens.

Pauline Hanson was downright judgmental in her Facebook comments, saying, "My staff said they could smell them from across the room because it seemed that none of them had bothered to have a shower."

Meanwhile Steven Ciobo was down to advocate the use of force.
