Aesculus posted:Jacqui Lambie??? :confutoot: Don Dongington posted:I can only assume the shitshow that was the 3 day "debate" on the subject of 18C was ironically enough to convince her that "Hrm yeah gently caress we need this." Unlike some of the other crossbench senators, Lambie actually has compassion for other people and usually seems open to changing her stance on policy. She's been slowly sliding leftwards since PUP - recent sharia law business notwithstanding. Reading the policies on her website is frustrating, though - so close Jacqui, but not... quite... there! (maybe a slight bias here - she's one of my senators and her office is down my street a bit)

Don Dongington posted:No I think that's generally it. She's concerned about Sharia law because to the simple and uneducated and with the way that opponents of Islamic immigration frame it, it's concerning. Those of us with a basic understanding of How Australia's Legal System Works and who bother to look a little deeper at an issue than the front page of whatever rag Murdoch vomits onto the Tasmanian landscape once a week know better, but that's clearly not how she rolls. I want to sit down with her and a copy of the Koran and explain that we won't have sharia law without the caliphate which, despite what ISIS claims, doesn't currently exist and is unlikely to exist in the future. I like to imagine this would be the first step in a series of epiphanies that lead Jacqui to joining the Greens, the Greens storming into government and ushering in a glorious new epoch in Tasmanian history.
