Somebody's grandpa has explained to his family that he is turning his back on the major parties entirely after seeing an image of the Prime Minister burning the Australian flag on Facebook.

Despite being warned by daughters, sons and grandchildren that the social media platform is, in terms of information reliability, an Indian street dog, the 75-year-old Rex O'Driscoll says he believes his eyes whatever the ABC or equivalent is sprouting.

The retired postman spoke to The Advocate, against the wishes of his family, about what he saw and how it made him feel.

"I saw that Albo on my phone, burning the Australian flag," he said.

"As a sitting Prime Minister. I think he should be jailed. How isn't it a criminal offence to burn the flag? It's a disgrace."

Our reporter said the image of Albanese is not genuine and was created by a machine, then posted online to mislead people who have low media and tech literacy.

Rex did not believe it.

"I know you are trying to help but at the end of the day you [The Advocate] are just as bad, if not worse than the rest of them. So what, you're just going to tell me I'm wrong like the treacherous, treasonous cuntbags at the ABC? Say that I'm just too dumb, too poorly educated to understand that your mutated, university-level understanding of the world is the correct interpretation of it? At least Pauline doesn't lecture people like that. She doesn't tell me I'm wrong and some worthless hick like those overblown twinks fighting it out in the Liberal Party. I'm not convinced the Nationals do anything, they're just the oozing, infected appendix on the toxic megacolon that is centre-right politics in this country, so yeah, fuckhead, I don't care about the picture, I don't care what my family says. My vote is worth as much as yours, so suck eggs."

More to come.
