i dont think labor would have the numbers even if they weren't big babies about the whole thing.

one of the independents they would need is their former leader that they kicked out of the party for sexual harassment.

As soon as Labor ally with the greens in a formal relationship it's over for them imo. There's still heaps of "centrist" Labor people that would just flip to the libs or a teals type option if the ALP joined with the loony left.

Also internally the ALP's absolutely rabid hatred of the greens would make it a non starter. They'd reestablish the DLP it would own and be really funny tbh.

Nineteen people were arrested at a pro-Palestine protest at Port Botany in Sydney on Sunday night.

Protesters, including members of the Maritime Union of Australia, were demonstrating against the Israel-owned ZIM shipping company. Among those arrested was MUA’s Sydney branch secretary, Paul Keating, New South Wales police confirmed. Police said they had responded to an unauthorised protest at 6.50pm on Sunday.

Police alleged the group had moved to Penrhyn Road which leads to the Patrick Terminals facility on the dock, “blocking the roadway and access to the port”, about 9.30pm. They were directed to move but police said some had not complied and were arrested for disobeying police direction. The 19 people arrested were taken to Surry Hills police station.

They were all charged with obstructing a driver/other pedestrian’s path, failing to comply with a move along direction, and remaining near/on a major facility and causing serious disruption. They were issued with a field court attendance notice to appear at Downing Centre local court on 8 May.

...

Unionists for Palestine said members of the MUA Sydney branch had been arrested as part of the demonstration, including Keating. MUA Sydney has been contacted for comment. Keating had previously urged the federal and state governments to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and for sanctions to be placed on Israel.

Good on them.

Guardian AU posted:

Hundreds of immigration detainees and unlawful non-citizens are being threatened with a minimum of one year in prison if they refuse to cooperate with efforts to deport them, under an urgent Labor bill to be introduced on Tuesday.

The bill requires non-citizens “to cooperate in efforts to ensure their prompt and lawful removal”, creating criminal penalties that could apply to a class of asylum seekers that includes two plaintiffs before the high court challenging the legality of the detention of people who refuse to cooperate with deportation.

On Tuesday the immigration minister, Andrew Giles, introduced the Migration Amendment (removals and other measures) bill, which gives him the power to direct a non-citizen who is due to be deported “to do specified things necessary to facilitate their removal”.

Phew, good thing Labor caved to increasing violence against refugees yet again, this surely won't be a ratchet this time!
