Let’s get a few things straight.
It’s not us.
It’s you.
Australia, and Australians, are really easy to get along with.
But we don’t take gaslighting well, at all.
Including attacks on Australia for fulfilling the most rudimentary duty to hold any country accountable to international law.
You, the perpetrator, are wholly responsible for the impacts of your crimes.
As a wanted war criminal leading a state alleged of genocide, the deliberate starvation of innocent children, found guilty of racial segregation and apartheid over many decades and of systematic attacks on the international legal system that we rely on.
Our obligations to the international court extend to not promoting or supporting genocide or the discriminatory practices of apartheid, in any way. This includes the refusal of entry to any official, individual or group guilty of incitement, or supportive of ethnic cleansing or apartheid. So says the International Court of Justice.
Whilst we are legally required to do more, Australians are, in fact, rightly taking pride in finally taking a stand against genocide, and apartheid.
The surest way to secure a visa to Australia, and our famously loyal and valued friendship as a country and people is not to perpetrate, support, fund or promote genocide, ethnic cleansing, deliberate starvation or apartheid.
Hope that helps.
@Matt_Pinner Yes! I’m dual citizen Aus/usa- every time I go back to Sam Diego I drive past my old house and reminisce - have lived in 20 odd addresses in Australia ( military brat) and often swing past old abodes to tell my kids/husband stories!
@WhateleySEN I can’t remember the email address but have to send you my snap judgment.. I’m a Carlton supporter so this hurts- Craig McCrae must be the most likeable, competent, enigmatic figure in AFL… I intensely dislike the Pies but I’d eat death caps for McCrae if he asked!
@hutcho66 Would love to know how much we can attribute to the wonderfulness of @murpharoo - such compelling strategy, messaging and discipline but I’m not in the tent so am clueless about who is the mastermind- miss her from the guardian but feels like she’s made a great call
I love Crippa... he is everything to Carlton.
Does 45 say more about him, or about how poor/inconsistent the rest of the team played this season?
Celebrate it, but Voss needs to use that number as motivation to the playing group... This simply can't be Judd 2010 all over again.
