If you continue to allow and encourage right wing nutters to infiltrate your party, then it's no surprise that you end up with ideologies and political stances that are out of step and often offensively extreme.
As for the labor party, and the prime minister's comments, you can't both sides this issue. It sends the wrong messages. They have to be clear eyed and call this out for what it is: the motive by the neo-Nazis wasn't against migration but for white supremacy.
Brilliant yet depressing (with a killer headline - surely an editors position awaits)
Depressing because political reactiveness will not address the cracks already created. What is needed is leadership that is sadly lacking on all fronts (except maybe for David Pocock)
Where will the required leadership that can restitch the frayed fabric come from? I know not where.
Capital’s endgame is in full flight. Its feckless champions are busy talking complete bullshit and waving partisan flags as it rips through the last fragile fabric of what was once a society Australians were proud of. You’re bang on here, I mean FFS. The far right is loving it. And they said Covid 19 was the global pandemic we had to worry about. What about global spinelessness?
Good work Amie - poor personal character is sadly lacking in all our political leaders and their parties - hopefully their days are numbered - go the Independents.
I think another emerging part of the conservative right messaging is to suggest the irrelevance of history - that what was said or done in the past is not cogent to what is said and done or proposed to be done now and in the future. This further enables the far right to make outlandish and contradictory claims and, facilitate future and further vindictiveness toward proponents of diversity and collectivism. Indeed this is the Howard White Arm Band of History unravelled on the Pettard of the Consercative Right.
I have no data to back this up but it feels like progressives in Australia are overwhelmingly white. It’s only been in the last few years that I feel like I've seen migrant representation in progressive spaces in Australia (mainly with the pro-Palestinian protests)

Totally agree
Well said , once again , Amy 👏🏻👏🏻. Neither major party would recognise “moral clarity “ if it fell on top of their heads.
Spineless , inadequate excuses for leaders , both . Gough Whitlam would be spinning in his grave . ( How long before
Albanese copies Starmer and outlaws legitimate peaceful public protest ?? )
If they become politically inconvenient, he will.
Be the resistance Albo!

Dont interupt the LNP while they are making mistakes. (Apologies to Napoleon)
No mistake… that’s deliberate
And don't forget the MSM who have lost sight of their responsibilities to report and continue their bias and to normalise the absurd.
These days it is not about spreading the news. It is all about clickbait; the quality of the content doesn’t matter.
Australian politicians are very disappointing. All of them.
Correct 💯
You should check out the idiots in the ishrahelli parliament!
I remember when my friend and former refugee from Myanmar became an Australian citizen.
Proudly clutching his citizenship certificate he said, 'This is the first time I've ever felt I belonged anywhere.'
He and his wife have both worked fulltime since arriving here penniless, and bought a house.
Their children have graduated from high school and are working. They have seized the chance to build new lives.
Generations of immigrants like them have built this country.
Thirty one percent of Australians were born overseas. Their votes now determine who wins elections.
The Liberal-Nationals are committing electoral suicide by undermining immigration. They are unfit to govern.
The LNP will remain in Opposition indefinitely unless they change and embrace multicultural Australia.

The vacuous bint that refuses to condemn Israels actions in Gaza, and denies there's a famine, let alone that Israel is deliberatley starving people ?
THAT thundercunt???
Well said
