Our record on international relations isn't squeaky. Papua is basically an Australian mine. We essentially invaded east Timor. We routinely ignore obligations to less fortunate island nations. Our indigenous situation is a source of international shame.

Good passport though.

That is very insightful. obviously if the greens had more power, they would also end up having to strike more deals to get their bills passed. I understand that some compromise is how party politics works. Very sad that senator Payman had to go.

Still allowed to voice my dissent over issues that bother me. The anti-protest laws suck. In WA the fines are $15,000 for disrupting normal activity. 'Republican' is a confusing word. the anti-protest laws are downright Cromwellian

I love most things about the labor party, but the anti-protest laws passed on their watch. The law is undemocratic and does not represent my rights as a worker. Democracy under attack https://www.hrlc.org.au/news/2024/07/03/protest-peril
