Thank you so much for this survey of an utterly shameless and cowardly government , hoping that by merely being the

“least worst” they will manage to cling on to power and continue their cowardice , their doing NOTHING of any significance for those whom they were elected to serve , while grovelling to every order and whim of America , Israel , and their corporate donors .

There are words for this obscenity , which is shared by the Coalition lot , and which would keep them awake at night if they even had a shred of a soul . No wonder Pauline and Gina have stepped into the vacuum . 😳

I would like to rub the faces of Albanese and “it’s too far away to judge “Wong in multitudes of videos of the barbaric evil of the genocide , and have them forced to defend their moral bankruptcy to the Australian public . ( I include the NSW Premier in this group ).

It seems there is serious work to be done in the area of public education , now embarrassingly underfunded , that many

Australians might begin to learn more of the facts of our history , and the ugly history of colonialism in general . Including

Courses in critical thinking . That Albanese , Wong , Marles and Minns treat the public with such utter contempt ( as morons who don’t deserve any respect ) is unforgivable . As I type this, I’m wearing my Gough Whitlam T shirt . He must be spinning in his grave .

I am so ashamed! I write to Penny Wong virtually weekly about our cowardice and acceptance of any vile acts by the powerful. Her minions don’t even acknowledge any more. We have no right to criticise Americans for their apathy in the face of great wrongs as we are just as bad.

As they get to the end of their useful (to obscure masters) life ..Albo and Madam Butterfly will no doubt do a tv fluff piece where you will be told their gutless venality was a result of them being victims, to that not so obscure, obscurity.

Then its four or more years of the other gang of gutless thieves.

Australians' self-interested venality is what floats these cowards to the surface.

“Madam Butterfly “ 😆. Are you perhaps referring to “it’s too far to judge from here “ Wong , who has never been known to answer

a question as put since she became FM ( if not before ) ? The woman who joins with Albanese in refusing to admit that a genocide is being committed as we speak , and has been so for decades previously ? Then we have our glorious PM who became the first to praise Trump for bombing a school full of children in Tehran ? What a monument to the judgement of a fence post he is ! 😡😡😡

Dear Penny has had too much support from the Celestials and the You Know Whos, who put her in this position she is in.

No number of dead innocents is going to persuade her to let those patrons down now.

Off to some diplomatic or corporate gig soon.

We can also add Trump's despicable immoral signing a diesel fuel deal with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. And in the process, completely undermine Ukrainian efforts against the Russian invasion of it country. Trump is pressuring and blaming Ukraine and essentially backing Russia. Trump makes no demands on Russia and puts all of the pressure and blame on Zelensky and the Ukraine.

What does our government have to say about this? Absolutely nothing it would seem. Are we that obsequious and feckless towards the US that we can't even raise our objection or concerns? This is what it seems in an era of AUKUS and no Plan B.

So much for Australian sovereignty.

They are pitiful excuses for Australians. They are nothing more than American lapdogs. Throw Minns onto the pile aswell.

The Greens have leverage with the govt. needing them to pass their discretionary trust tax changes. The other parties have already refused to agree to it. The Greens should bargain for the Redlines Senate Enquiry to help Albo pass his bill.

If Australia considers an independent international legal order essential to its security and sovereignty, why has it not publicly acknowledged a Nobel Peace Prize awarded for defending precisely those principles, and why did it not join other longstanding allies in opposing sanctions against the International Criminal Court?

Because that might foul Albo's aspirations for a UN Security Council spot! And his mate the Mad Orange King might say nasty things about him. As for Wong Way Decision Maker (not the Japanese Butterfly, the bearer of melons) she needs to keep her slate clean after that slip, supporting the Two State Solution and the existence of Palestine. For her future in the Military Industrial Complex with Kevin, Christopher and Smokin' Joe.
