Looks like the other Bunnings karen who also haunts pharmacies and has the anti trespassing sign up is fond of the common law principles. The cases quoted including Plenty vs Dillon1991 and Kuru vs State of NSW are high court decisions over trespassing under common law.
Interesting that someone's head can go that scrambled |
what is this Karen thing??? why? what did she ever do!

hmm ta for that!!
A Karen divorces her husband and takes the kids, is a pseudoscientist/anti-vaxxer/flat-earther, an MLM participant, an avid user of Facebook to post shitty motivational posts/’Live Laugh Love,’ and more,“ karmacop97 explained to me. “Our Karen in the wild won’t satisfy all of [these attributes], but she can still be a true Karen.”
“She’s the mom in Kroger with her kids asking to speak to the manager,” one Karen, a 29-year-old law student from Oxford, Mississippi, told me in a phone interview. “You do see that basic stereotype sometimes, so it’s kind of funny. It’s a little bit of a commentary on white privilege, perhaps.”
“Karen” isn’t alone in receiving this treatment. We’ve increasingly seen a lot of “basic white names” — commonly associated, rightly or wrongly, with Middle American white Protestants — being used in mocking memes that portray them as archetypes rather than individuals. Consider such examples as: “They’re lesbians, Harold,” “Talkback Tammy,” “they’re good dogs Brent,” and, of course, “Becky with the good hair.” White people seem just as likely to make fun of these names as everyone else, especially when it comes to men making fun of women; in the predominantly white men’s rights movement, “Chads,” “Stacys,” and “Beckys” are used to embody and mock people who conform to mainstream gender norms and beauty standards.
i hope it doesnt last long, because its really really grating on me!! i have no idea why! i dont particularly like the name, and xcome to think of it the one karen from school that comes to mind fits the stereotype!!

Me too, TP. It's a pretty lame meme, and I kind of cringe whenever I read it.

yeah i watched it, go karl!! |
Eh, that's the only reason they get people like that on there. Just a bit of cheap theatre that ends in Karl getting to play the voice of reason.

Remember when Karl played the white knight by wearing the same suit everyday to make a point about how unfairly women get treated in the media? Then he dumps his wife to get with a much younger woman because he was having a midlife crisis. What a fu#cking cliche.  |

Well ... I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with the latter (see our other recent thread on relationships with age differences!). But yes, I agree with your broader suggestion that the guy's a phoney.

Ah yes this muppet apparently lives near me - I do hope her psychic powers tell her to immediately leave the premises if we happen to find ourselves in the same place at the same time!!
I’m not reading or sharing anymore of their crap - they are loving the attention and so they should be denied that!

He makes 'a stand' about women being judged more harshly than men for their appearance and then leaves his middle aged wife for a much younger, conventionally attractive woman. He's a hypocrite. |

Maybe, maybe not. I genuinely don't care but things are usually more complicated than that.
