I voted for Labor at the last election primarily to keep Dutton out of the Lodge. Never again. When will we get a government that represents its own citizens above the interests of a foreign country? My respect for Penny Wong has evaporated. She double speaks meaningless gobbledygook when she should be castigating the perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Labor, Liberal, One Nation. God help us. Our politicians won’t.
Yes Richard, I agree there are a number of independent and minor party politicians who are sincere and conscientious in the discharge of their responsibilities. The majors and One Nation are the ones my comment is aimed at. It seems to me that the corridors of power are teeming with a plethora of lobbyists and agents of influence hell bent on subverting our democracy. I think you are telling me that despair is not really a strategy!
Australia and the world ostracized South Africa over apartheid. I think we even stopped playing cricket with them. But Israel is like a cancer, affecting whole body-politics. We host an ambassador, we're OK with a visit by Israel's President, and our government thinks people who are distressed by the genocide are the enemy. The main media outlets are a lost cause, of course, but the disease has occupied the ABC and the public service. How weak do you have to be to deplore only the 'publicly available' evidence, the one thing you can't deny? Time to smash that looking glass..
The Labor Party has become the NEW LNP I haven't voted Labor for a number of years & rightly so ... vote for a Party or Independents that are for Humanity. Labor is a sell out & to think years ago I attended an APAN function in Canberra travelled there from Sydney to hear Penny WRONG what a dismal dispappointment she has turned out to be as is Albo - complete capitulation to the Isareli lobby & the way that all happened very dubious.

Rob, The Greens will. I believe this meeting is happening in part thanks to David Shoebridge's pressure on Penny Wong in Senate Estimates.
