If they want to call me anti-semetic so be it, i know i’m not. I’ll never support, even tacitly, the repugnant actions Israel has undertaken towards their neighbours for decades. Its not a race, religion or culture thing its a ‘don’t commit crimesagainst humanity thing’.

To get in before false equivalences, my values stand for all sides in every case. Especially my own country, Brereton Report is an example of our own National shame laid bare.

It’s such a drain of time and energy for the benefit it can yield,

Whats led you to this conclusion about Party membership?

After your comment on community groups you’ll enjoy the passage below from Mariana Mazzacato’s, Mission Economy. Read this bit not long before i saw your reply.

Be kind of a boss move for Albanese to call back Parliament for this, literally force the Liberals into support for this before the election or risk a massive loss in support.

It could also be used as a last minute rapprochement with the Greens. The major left wing parties demonstrating they can work well together as well as how they’ve pushed each other. After last years debacles, i think it could help both parties.

I actually can’t see a downside for going early on this policy for Labor. They should definitely strike while the irons hot on this one. Politics is all about timing after all, and this could be used as a positive end to a challenging term.

Even people who don’t really have a Union, there are lots of other community groups that can be joined or created.

Something overlooked far too often though is just the fact of joining a political party itself. Helping to change and shape its direction from the inside.

Yeah, maybe if it was the words on its own, but also knocking off Rudds head? That doesn’t make much sense.

My first thought was aussie day related, but Rudd is a PM who actually did something meaningful, symbolic, but still meaningful.

Interesting, judging by who was taken, and the words, “the commonwealth will fall” sounds like maybe sov cits?
