@Danielw9il@DaisyIsStarDust Penny Wong is literally the minister for foreign affairs, I would expect her to have a low attendance in parliament. Pauline's attendance should be compared to the leaders of other minor parties like Larissa Waters (94%), and Jacqui Lambie (68%).
@veeveejoan@MalachiAUS I mean that seems more like an issue with capitalism and globalisation than communism. China is a communist state in name more than anything else.
Authoritarian states are horrendous no matter the economic system they operate under. Communism ≠ authoritarian.
@veeveejoan@MalachiAUS Minority groups like LGBTQIA+ and Indigenous people have been othered. It was less than a hundred years ago that indigenous people couldn't vote, and less than 20 years since gay people couldn't marry.
I'm not a 'fan' of communism, but capitalism is also not great.
@veeveejoan@MalachiAUS The idea of the other is utilised by multiple schools of thought, but that doesn't diminish it's validity. Your argument seems to be communism = bad, not very substantive.
@lowkeyabby@BradleyBea87369@JBroncosEra Yeah he just seems to want the 9 to be a bigger body, such a shame though because I think our forward pack is big enough without a big 9.
@jblesfooty224 Seems like that's the procedure due to the knock on having been called before that. It was an evident surrender so I'm unsure how you'd argue the call went against Penrith.
