THAT Jewish community does. It's the foundation of the currently-sitting member's support base, and basically the only part of the electorate that likes him. He's been doing his best to paint the Greens as anti-Israel just to galvanize that section against us, and that part of the electorate's been by far the most difficult and painful to actually deal with in any way.

How to deal with meeting people that think we're anti-Israel is literally the only specific advice and instruction on a single detail I have been given during Greens volunteering. That's how difficult that part is.

to a lot of that particular community anything short of driving Palestine back into the sea is anti-Israel. A lot of hardcore zionist support in the south east.

The most painful part of this whole campaign has been sitting with our candidate at a pub and listening to her talk about having to deal with this. She's a fantastic person, and doing her absolute best to deal with everything that's coming her way (the fact we even tried to doorknock in Caulfield is exceptional), and what she's getting from just this small subset of the electorate, that's drat near monopolizing her efforts to reach out to the population as a whole, is heartbreaking.

The Greens' estimates are that if we don't win Melbourne Ports in this election, we'll definitely win it next one. But I really hope it doesn't come to that, because god damnit, this lot doesn't deserve to get their way if this is what it is and how they do it.

Hopefully he takes doewn the entire press gallery and a bunch of pollies so they all lose their voice and cant say poo poo.

yeah, backing out of the farce of a refugee convention, which I have repeatedly advocated for. These people aren't swimming across the border from a failed state, they have gone though multiple safe countries on their way to the one local idiot nation that has stuck with an obsolete treaty.

What safe countries are you referring to? Because i'd love to hear how nice and safe a place like Indonesia would be for refugees, nothing but 5 star reviews from PNG and East Timor. I tell you what.

As a jewish person who volunteers for the Greens, I can totally see where they are coming from on this one and it isn't actually that unreasonable.
