@MChandlerMather I dunno man, sounds pretty radical. I reckon we should stay in the sensible centre of upholding aggressive American hegemony, supporting ethno supremacist apartheid states and handing away our resources to international capital for free.
It’s the sensible middle ground
@JJKALE2@AlboMP Labor deserves to be dismantled. Any party so lacking in courage, so easily manipulated by foreign influence is a danger to its own people
For Penny Wong, killing white people is unambiguous and condemned, killing brown children is complicated and “concerning”.
Why don’t you tell us more about your good friends in Israel who have essentially destroyed every hospital in Gaza?
Do you only support white victims?
Russia's missile attacks on several Ukrainian cities, including a Kyiv children's hospital are abhorrent.
We condemn the targeting of civilian infrastructure, including hospitals.
Australia continues to support the people of Ukraine in the face of Russia's illegal, immoral war.
@noplaceforsheep@AlboMP The Australian Government supports the recognition of a Special Envoy against Islamophobia as part of a negotiated kicking the can down the road process, in line with our core values collectiveactionunity don't step on us #friends4evaIsrael
@GrogsGamut There are people within the Israel lobbies, their finger over the send button with hit pieces and tweets calling the new Special Envoy to combat Islamophobia an antisemite, waiting only to fill in the name.
@MaryKostakidis If only there was some kind of universally understood language to describe the forced concentration of civilians into large camps at gunpoint.
.@AlboMP’s decision to proceed with @ScoMo30’s #AUKUS fiasco won’t just haunt @AustralianLabor for years, its $368B price tag will impact our parents, us, our children and our grandchildren for decades. It’s also a deeply flawed Defence decision. #auspol https://t.co/8GX890ESmT
@rachelrwithers There should be more push back on “should Hamas be dismantled”.
What are the principles for “dismantling” a foreign entity? What gives us jurisdiction to decide such a thing and is there any bar for dismantling Hamas that Israeli political parties wouldn’t also clear?
@BoydElspeth It’s not some abstract issue. Any party capable of conscious complicity with a clear genocide is a danger to its own people.
If Labor can’t clear this lowest of all moral bars then they are organisationally incompetent, as in not fit to govern at all. Simply can’t be supported.
@noplaceforsheep They can only deal with the distance between their world view and reality by pretending the world has it out for them, and end up even relishing conflict as validating their self identified victimhood
@RDNS_TAI Is this like a coded callout to our proud settler-colonial history - like a certain country whose name is an anagram of "serial" - being central to Aussie identity or what on earth is it otherwise meant to mean?
@RDNS_TAI So, it's the "rules-based order", in which the leaders make the rules on the fly and everyone else has to follow
Also: WTH "much of the country sees the pro-Palestinian demonstrations as an attack on the Australian way of life"
What is the Australian way of life???
@SybiltheSymbol@LaDolceVita_99@rachelrwithers Regardless of the number of votes, senators are paid by the Australian people to represent the interests of the people within their state.
The party is always subordinate, it's not their employer. It's *literally* their job.
