Western Australia senator Fatima Payman has used her platform in parliament to give a bizarre speech only Generation Z and Alpha could understand.
The senator was speaking out to oppose the government’s proposed social media ban for children, saying young Australians often fail to have their voices heard in parliament.
Senator Payman called on the “sigmas of Australia” to say “this goofy ahh government have been capping” when they talked about no more “fanum tax.”
“They are capaholics,” she said.

“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?”
The senator added that she would be taking a nail if she did not mention the “opps” who wanted 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 and a dog water opposition or a cross bench that will mog both of them,” she said.
“Though some of you cannot yet vote, I hope when you do, it will be in a more goated Australia, for a government with more aura. Skibidi.
“It is for this reason that I shall now render the remainder of my statement in a language they can understand.”

Some people praised the senator on social media for her speech, with one person saying, “My son was like ‘I get her.’”
“This was hilarious but a conversation put into a fun way instead of the lies the “opps” (my son taught me that word meaning) spew,” one user wrote on Instagram.
“This is amazing,” another said.
Sarah Pratt wrote on Instagram that her young adult Gen Z children had absolutely no idea what the senator was talking about.
“(They) also said it is an absolute turn off when older adults try to use their slang to get attention and try to pretend they get you when they clearly don’t. An embarrassing attempt to try and remain relevant,” she said.
