During the leadership contest last year, I argued that election of Zack Polanski would prove divisive for politics. I think I'm being proved right already. In my first ever general election, I carried a quote on my election leaflet that "Greens continually challenge the lowest common denominator approach to politics". That's clearly not what we're doing in Gorton. We are feeding, exacerbating & exemplifying worst excesses of sectarian bloc electioneering as if the end justifies the means.

Commenting on the shootings in Australia today Netanyahu said - Antisemitism spreads when leaders stay silent. Nothing to do with Isreal committing Genocide in Palestine then. Netanyahu wants antisemitism to be a thing, it validates him - he acts to make it so.

I am horrified by the antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach on the first day of Hanukkah, targeting Australia’s Jewish community. My thoughts are with the victims, their families and the Jewish community.
