SuddenCactus posted:but my lions are so hungry Kumanjayi Bloomfield, 47, died in a car crash on the Plenty Highway near Harts Range, north-east of Alice Springs, 5km after NT police abandoned a 30-second pursuit. Officers began the pursuit because they believed Bloomfield, who was unlicensed and intoxicated, was trying to avoid a random breath test by taking a well-used shortcut. The coroner, Greg Cavanagh, said the failure of police to observe cultural protocols, including allowing Bloomfield's family to have a last look at his body in the community, the failure to allow the family to view the scene of the crash, and the decision to remove the police vehicle for examination without explaining why to the community had led to distrust and suspicion, worsened by long delay between Bloomfield's death and police completing their investigation. He recommended that police receive training on the importance of providing the family with timely viewing and information, in accordance with recommendations from the royal commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody.

the shadow cabinet's position was earlier reported as "try to pass the amendments in the senate and refuse to pass the bill without them", so i don't think the leadership are the ones who are pushing 'bitch and fold' the 'bitch and fold' position seems to be being pushed by some of the worst of the labor right, who are either terrified of being wedged here despite it being deeply unpopular, or are the catholic right sda who largely support the bill. when they've been talking to the press about it over the last few years they keep bringing up "western sydney" and "religious immigrants" but obviously the bill sucks even for minority religions as it allows religious hospitals, aged care etc. to fire people for their religion and they don't want to think about that. like, a lot of non-christian religious bodies have been opposing it for that reason lih fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Feb 9, 2022 |

yes that's the exact article I quoted it's dumbass procedural poo poo but doesn't really matter unless they also fold in the senate. they really should just take the win there though with the government taking a loss in the lower house due to their own MPs if it played out that way. https://twitter.com/JoshButler/status/1491241325647495168 here is the official labor statement, saying they'll "insist" on their amendments in both house and senate. no amendment for sex discrimination act re: teachers yet though - seems like it's an election promise instead as they want to do a proper review lih fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Feb 9, 2022 |

Tony Abbot was an awesome opposition leader. A pit bull who lived to say "NO!" and interspersed it with "Look at her! Shes a woman!" and "Unions. Communism. Labah Waste!". It was amazingly effective. He is also a cunty religious fundie oval office who literally didn't last a single term and tried to give Prince Phillip a knighthood. A horrible human all around. But the "NO!" and "Look at him! He's loving ScoMo!" tactic would still work today, and I am ever so slightly disappointed that nobody is trying it.

Why can't Labor just stop ruining it's own chances of reelection? Do they really need to pander to religious fundamentalists? And it is the fundamentalists who want to exclude people from employment or schooling. It writes itself. They could even double down on the dog whistles and compare the proposed bill to the Taliban, then kick Scomo in the balls over how he abandoned Afghanistan. Oh no, some of their MPs agree with the bill? Who cares. Eject them from the party, they've been pulling this crap for years and if they're not going to play ball with a proper Labor agenda then they can dangle out as independents.

labor should be firmly saying they won't support the bill if the amendments don't pass instead of dodging the question as much as possible. https://twitter.com/StephenJonesMP/status/1491247907634577408 they also really should be moving better amendments because theirs don't fix all the problems. a bunch of mps have said in their speeches they don't support the bill in its current form and it should not be legislation so lmao if labor still folds in the senate in the end after all that. katter is currently going on an insane rant about how child sexual abuse claims are religious discrimination and the evils of communism among many other things

Labor's strategy is let the libs ruin it for themselves but when it was labor in power the libs let labor ruin it for themselves while also pointing out all the other "issues" with their policy/party, real or fictional. Labor are idiots. Rip their loving throat out you cowards.
