Not one voice raised in the Labor caucus in support of growing R&F calls to
recognise Palestine without tying it to the non existent “peace process “.
We all want peace. Recognition is seen by many nations as a step towards it,
What has happened to courage in caucus debate?
The most interesting aspect of the backgrounding Labor is doing on Payman is the rumour that she told colleagues she was being "guided by god" on crossing the floor, painting her as a religious radical - big, big dog whistle being blown.
Hard to get your head around how big this policy failure is. Australia, one of the largest gas producers in the world, has sold off so much gas to foreign buyers that we are struggling to meet domestic demand. What a joke https://t.co/YYuMtwhlDU
Imagine my shock when I opened this morning's papers and learnt someone's trying to organise Muslims to vote as a bloc.
Christians have never stooped so low as to attempt to form political groupings. Nor have any other social groups. What a threat to our Social Cohesion™!
Senator Payman is a smart, courageous, principled and articulate politician.
We need more debate in the ALP on key issues as debating differing views strengthens the party not weakens it.
The caucus should recognise Palestine consistent with Labor R&F wishes not attack Fatima.
@MikeCarlton01 Exiled.
Not unlike what Israel is attempting to do to Palestinians.
And this from a party that profeses to support a two state solution.
@AlboMP's hypocrisy on a transparent NACC, whistleblower reform & not this. 😪
@MikeCarlton01 I truly didn't think Labor could be as petty & cruel as the LNP, but here you go. Deeply disappointing & over the top. Call me cynical but this has the Jewish lobbyists filthy mitts all over it.
After mingling of a Monday night for twenty years or more with @PhillipAdams_1, it was finally time to say goodbye tonight. And I got to interview him! You can watch it here. What adventures & arguments we have had dear PA!. Thank you https://t.co/Rc6zxJGF7I via @ABCTV
Tonight at 10 - in a shocking case of elder abuse - Laura Tingle will interrogate venerable and vulnerable
old broadcaster. This final encounter also be available globally on I-View from 11. (Please alert the authorities)
@PhillipAdams_1 i just told my wife some of the things you have done / achieved - any one of any of the 4 or 5 chapters would be notable on their own- how did you do it? courage? intelligence?
@PhillipAdams_1 So many nights spent listening, marvelling, meandering, giggling, immersed in the past, present & future; in space, the oceans & here on 🌏.
So many stories, from so many cultures, from so many remarkable humans.
I have been greatly enriched & always so grateful Phillip et al🙏🏻❤️
@PhillipAdams_1 Obviously a very emotional time for all concerned. We your humble listeners will miss your dulcet tones, your sparkling wit, your incisive commentary/questioning, & your obvious humanity! Thanks for the ride Phillip!
@PhillipAdams_1 Long overdue. Now we have to do something for Mr. Boyle. Pressure on government to change the law on whistleblowers-we need to know. Transparency.
@PhillipAdams_1 The best retirement present you could wish for! Brilliant job as a tireless advocate for Julian Assange, his release testimony to your unwavering commitment to his freedom. Credit where it’s due. What a relief!
