@EvComrade Is this written down anywhere or is there a photo? Just trying to find proof of this but it doesn't look like the NUS keeps public records of who holds the Queer Office

This gay guy who was in National Labor Students is now a One Nation MP. From Queer Officer to the far right. Cursed.
English
@steveekwonder Yeah.
He was one of those whingey idpol people who were like the far left are the real bigots etc so never was a Green or socialist.
English
@RodneyCroome Stahel posits that a refusal by Labor/Greens to listen and build bridges with the right is why the One Nation vote booms. It sounds good in abstract but evidence matters. What are examples of this by the Labor right Premier in SA today? How has he been too antagonistic to bigots?
English
Peter Stahel’s warnings entirely apply to LGBTIQA Australians: We must listen to those with whom we disagree. We must reach out our hands to them. We must build bridges. And we must do it yesterday.

@Peggysknapsack @PatrickLenton EA is very collaborative with the Zionist groups and compliant with Labor, so I don’t think it’s that smart lobbyists can’t see. I think it’s that NGOs want to get easy wins to present to donors, and Labor want headlines to ward off pressure.
English
@PatrickLenton I just don’t get why smart lobbyists can’t see this as labor cynically directing our rage into what is politically safe for labor governments. Labor had to respond to the gay bashings so they moved quickly to set the agenda around vilification laws rather than ending exemptions.

I’ve spent the last couple of days diving into south Australia’s lack of laws protecting the queer community
Star Observer@star_observer
South Australia is one of the only states in Australia that currently has no anti-vilification laws protecting the LGBTQIA+ community leaving the state firmly at the back of the pack when it comes to legal protections. starobserver.com.au/news/explainer…

They gang-raped a Palestinian so brutally he was hospitalised. They did it on camera. When footage leaked, and the rapists were arrested, Israelis rioted to protect them. They said they had the right to rape. The Israeli lawyer who leaked the footage was arrested. This is Israel.

There’s something really satisfying about building a union meeting and rolling a right wing bureaucrat who thought members were too meek to stand up.
English
@Southpawpunch @LeftieStats But this is the crux of the issue, right. There is often a narrow claim that the reason the Greens fold in these positions is they’re insufficiently radical or not a working class base. This plays a role, but parliamentary roads will falter no matter the depth of red or green.
English
@EvComrade @LeftieStats The 'Trotskyist' mayor is not such. We don't administer capitalism. While there is debate about whether executive officer should be accepted, there's no argument you don't do such. Unless they are out/imprisoned/killed in months, or soviets formed etc they're just a radical Left.
English
If this correct, will be end of perception of Greens as Left. They'd need to be as vicious in their austerity as current Labour bosses of inner London councils that may turn their way - or break the law.
No-one Greens is talking about standing to fight as some Labour did in 80s.

English
@Southpawpunch @LeftieStats And to push this to a higher level, the formally socialist Syriza who has many working class voters also caved to IMF. Which I say not to be defeatist, but rather we should acknowledge the pressure is consistent and there’s no easy response to it.
English
@Southpawpunch @LeftieStats I think the reality is that this is a challenge for socialist parties as well. We have a Trotskyist mayor in one of our cities, but when the early childhood educators asked for a payrise he said they could get Xmas gifts from families instead because the budget was ‘tight’.
English
@LeftieStats @Southpawpunch And it is a test not of moral fibre, but of the depth of organisation and support. Does the party have the ability to organise the community in resistance to defy the authorities? Or will it be constrained and get slowly whittled down by the positions of power?
English
@LeftieStats @Southpawpunch I think the fundamentals are the same, but when the Greens won some councils in Australia we faced this issue. Namely, that even good people would see themselves as forced to cut things for working ppl or be put into administration.

OnlyFans is the main funder of AIPAC. That is neither an exaggeration nor a joke.
History Speaks@History__Speaks
A literal pimp - that's what someone who takes a cut from sex workers' labour is - has been paying off our politicians to support Israel and its wars, including now in Iran. Meet billionaire Leonid Radvinsky, owner of @OnlyFans and the single top donor to @AIPAC, post-7 Oct.

lmao I don’t even have the super expected of a 30 year old. Guess I won’t ever be able to retire!
Gotta love super as a system. Turn us all into petty investors in order to avoid raising pensions, and it doesn’t even work.

Anthony Albanese has become the first Commonwealth leader to confirm support for removing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of royal succession The PM told Keir Starmer that the allegations against Andrew are "grave" and "Australians take them seriously"

It’s not racist that a person with Tourette’s gets to go to things or might pop out with slurs. What’s racist is that production got things like free Palestine edited out, but left in the n-bomb for Blak people to hear over and over again. The people in charge are the problem.
English
Given optional preferencing, and teals and one nation suppressing LNP primary vote, this would create a Liberal wipe out and a fragile Labor govt confronted by far right cookers in opposition. Big UK vibes…
