Anthony Albanese - How long? -2-

[Demons09]

Then let US sort it. What are we even relevant for Israel ? A few thousand soldiers won’t do anything.

Doesn’t matter if the US calls do you think Albo is going to say no.

US aren’t that dumb.
They don’t want anything to do with this war knowing China are ready to go after Taiwan. Australia being involved also opens up vulnerabilities too.

Guardian Essential poll: more than half of Australians approve of Albanese government’s response to Israel-Gaza war

Of 1,139 people surveyed, younger voters more likely to say Australia’s response is too supportive of Israel

www.theguardian.com

Whether I agree or not, the public's support of Albo and the government's stance on the current conflict suggests a strong majority (56%).

Dutton attempting to press the racism button and make political hay out of carefully considered and fairly uncontroversial actions and statements might backfire. Certainly if he sounds like a hysterical war monger or that he is desperately trying to overreach with regards to Labor.

Unless the gambit is win back certain blue ribbon seats off the Teals, having the Greens positioned on one side and the Libs on the other may work out with middle Australians over a certain age.

That's naive at best... we may not agree with Israel's actions but they are still an ally and October 7 was a horrific terrorist attack against them. Didn't agree with America's actions post September 11 either but no one would suggest we should blank them in the years after.

Compare the pair

 

[Chicken Treat]

Both politicians cherry pick what victims are worth having empathy over.

One has the responsibility of governing for the entire nation and the other doesn't?

Albanese had some words against the continued Israeli aggression, even on a day of legitimate mourning. But the simple fact is, polling shows the majority of Australians don't want to pick a side, they want to stay out of it, sticking the boots into Israel may make some people feel good but it won't make a jot of difference to actual events and will make it harder for him to govern. Easier for Dutton because his base is always happy to bomb brown people, so he has little to lose picking a side.

Albo has 100% picked a side that statement was for sure written by a Zionist

It's full of the usual bullshit

 

[Saint]

He's not allowed to mention Palestinian victims without mentioning October 7th (same with news rooms). But when mentioning Israeli victims, you're not allowed to mention their terrorism and occupation. That's the double-standard Albanese (and most western media and Governments) is applying.

 

[Gralin]

He's having a good day

 

[Gough]

I wonder if Dutton might not have overplayed his hand today.

Well he is certainly on the back peddle now going back into parliament once he realised how big a story it was to apologise again…
