Israel has been acting like this for decades. It has no interest in giving a sniff of equality to the Palestinians and is relishing the chance to destroy Gaza, displace between one and two million people, kill thousands of innocent people and eventually claim the territory as its own. West Bank will be next. USA won't abandon them and they are likely to get away with it. Over the long term, they are cutting their own throat.it's also noticeable that the loudest voices over the past 20 years proclaiming "australia is not a racist country" have been the first to condemn and declare their "disgust" at what they call "anti-semitism", which in a vast number of cases is simply criticism of the vicious warmongering nature of netanyahu and his government
most sensible people who do question netanyahu's response to the october 7 horror show also condemn the subhuman behaviour of hamas and its affiliates
the voice referendum campaign did not "divide the country", it was already divided, and mostly by those people who'd already made up their minds that the voice campaign would be divisive
She's a narc who consistently pushed and supported marijuana laws which disproportionately and unfairly affected black men. I guess you covered that with the "She's not perfect" line.She's not a perfect candidate, but she's not despised like Clinton or near-comatose like Biden. So we'll find out just how sexist America really is in November.
You kinda reminded me of a thought I had as I posted the "baggage" comment and how it's often the centrist politicians that end up with the most of it. Because they tend to be steered where the donor/party lines take them and not really where their principles take them.She's a narc who consistently pushed and supported marijuana laws which disproportionately and unfairly affected black men.

As a leftist it just depresses me how much ground needs to be given to not concede control to the likes of the US Republican party or a Morrison-led liberal party here.
It's wild how gas-lit the world have been that hardline conservative or right wing politics has been anything but detrimental.

USA is a basket case now. Republicans and Democrats are two cheeks of the same backside when it comes to the warmongering foreign policy. Both sides of politics will make a fuss over Netanyahu who has been defined as a war criminal by international law. 40,000 Palestinians, including 15000 kids and 10000 women, have been killed by US supplied arms. Barely rates a mention in the legacy media here and in the US. Diabolical.Gut feel but I think the Democrats might - finally! - have a good one in Kamala Harris. A better chance of appealing to the predominantly younger Progressive base than Sleepy Joe. A muuuch better chance of appealing to the all-important African-American vote. As with any centrist candidate, she comes with baggage, but compared to Hillary Clinton it's very little, and the baggage she does have almost all pertains to her record as a prosecutor - which should also give her a good chance of appealing to the most important of voters: the independents and anti-Trump Republicans.
Her image as a Vice President has been almost vague and goofy, presumably a strategic foil to the dark cloud that was Biden and his age. But she showed previously she has wit, a razor tongue and a commanding presence. Maybe now she will be front and centre, she can lean more into that instead of seemingly trying everything in her best not to say or do anything that will compound Biden's constant controversies.

We have signed up lock, stock and barrel with them with AUKUS. If we get involved with them in any conflict in our region, and things go pear shaped like it normally does with the US, they will just piss off back to California and leave us to pick up the pieces. They just use us up and pat us on the head. Albanese and Marles just lap dogs. Keating was spot on in his assessment.The US condemns all genocides around the world.

When those rats to the North of us attack you will need the US help , it is something that's locked in .

They helped us out big time in World War 2. Since that time they have stuffed up everything they have been involved in including Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Not to mention the CIA interfering in countless regime changes, including recently in Ukraine.. China is not silly enough to worry about us but if the US go stupid(again!), we will be collateral damage. These days they are an extremely dangerous ally. Good old days have long gone.When those rats to the North of us attack you will need the US help , it is something that's locked in . Imagine without US carriers we'd be speaking Japanese now
Okay go on our own with a pop gun attack . We have 90 odd Abrams tanks , stupid purchase where will we use them ? Pukapunyal ! They will run over us in days and hopefully an imbecile like Adam Brandt is 1st in lineThey helped us out big time in World War 2.

Might already have people in placeIf they did attack, they'd basically just take the resource sector, aka the mines. They'd have absolutely no interest in taking over a city, esp Sydney or Melbourne, there's no strategic value to the east coast of Australia.
Hard disagree on Ukraine, but there's a whole thread where that stuff has been debunked.They helped us out big time in World War 2.

Conveniently you don't mention HamasA large part of politics in relation to foreign policy in the USA reads likes some sort of far-fetched novel. Because of passages in the Bible, Jewish Zionists claim Israel has a right to land that was Palestinian for centuries and have no qualms about killing thousands of innocent men, women and children and destroying Gaza.
Christian Zionists, mainly Evangelicals, are rock solid with Israel because they believe that, in end of days, all Jews will return to Israel, convert to Christianity, and be taken up in the Rapture. There are 70,000,000 of these people in the US. In addition, the Israeli lobby has most politicians there by the balls.
Netanyahu, a war criminal in relation to International Law, is lionized in Congress by a number of these Evangelicals in the Republican part as well as by a majority of Democrats.
The influence of the Christian Zionists has been felt here when Scott Morrison, under the influence of his fellow Evangelical, Mike Pompeo, moved the Australian Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Also influenced the decision to 'torpedo' the French submarine deal and set up AUKUS. Albanese and Marles couldn't wait more than 24 hours to verify it.
In relation to Israel, there are an increasingly large number of non-Zionist Jewish people who are appalled at Netanyahu and his genocidal response to the terrible terrorist attack by Hamas.
Just like in Ireland and South Africa these acts of terrorism will keep happening until Israel comes to its senses and negotiates a just solution. It is telling that both Ireland and South Africa are leading the way in international support of the Palestinians.
Read more thoroughlyConveniently you don't mention Hamas
Read more thoroughly
So biased , you would be running out of the trenches with Adam Brandtwishful thinking ... maybe "understand more thoroughly" is better advice
