Inviting the head of state from a regime committing war crimes and genocide is contemptible.

Banning Australians from protesting their presence is diabolical, and challenges any claims this country is a liberal democracy.

Right. Fuck this. If your government attempts to outlaw protesting an alleged war criminal, time get out there and protest the government.

@philbetts she is more & more having her peter garrett moments. TLDR: if you have actual morals, integrity, & passion, do not join the labor party. @fixatedpersonsunit

Attended branch meetings (for most parties), and the worst element I encountered in Labor were the suits who showed up irregularly with only one interest - preselection. Not policy. Not party performance. Preselection, namely their own. Uncharismatic, committent free slimes with the dress and demeanour of a real estate agent.

@fixatedpersonsunit @msdropbear yeah, that stuff is gross.

I think there are strong arguments either way on whether you can reform from within or whether you're just running cover and it all needs to be torn down and reset.

For my money I reckon it's better she's in government than outside it, but this experience must be maddening, and is an argument for the latter.

@philbetts

Having said and to be fair, I have met more than a few Labor 'true believers' who walk the talk.
