Avowed! They want to take over the Labor Party by *checks notes* campaigning as a completely different party.

I wonder if Tony always talks about themself in the third person.

I’ll admit to knowing comparatively little about the position of each party on Israel/Palestine stuff so I’ll have to leave a direct reply to that one to someone else

I think it goes without saying that the Greens support Palestine, and that doesn’t imply they align with all the social policy of Palestine’s various political parties, just like Australia supporting Ukraine doesn’t imply alignment with their prominent Azov Battalion. The only parties in the Zionist Regime’s genocide which somewhat align with the Greens overall values are minor parties who inevitably are forced to join forces with Islamist parties because they don’t have enough power alone, we’re dealing with decades of siege and accelerated genocide, beggars can’t be choosers.

If we were (hypothetically) invaded by the US or China, and we all had to join forces behind a Liberal government to repel it, would that make us all (materially) supporters of a misogynist, anti-gay and racist government? That’s debatable, but consider the alternative. It certainly doesn’t contradict our progressivism.

He’s apparently a writer for the Herald Sun and Australian. Thats enough for me to discount anything he says immediately as probably skewed if not outright false, until he proves otherwise. Believe it or not they, (Murdoch Propagandists), can, rarely, make levelheaded comments. Its a rare sight though.

Advance is Exposed in Macnamara

Title seems deliberate, and a little hyberbolic, in an attempt to mislead readers as to the articles subject matter.

The article reads like a friendly disagreement among friends. Where one friend has a brainfart their muddled mind construes as profound then has to express it, thus demonstrating his knowledge and command of a subject to all around.

They are aligned with Islamist extremists, offering a safe space for anti-Semites. The party backs some of the world’s most violent, tyrannical, misogynist, anti-gay and racist regimes. They claim to be progressive but are the exact opposite of progressive.

Classic lazy partisan writing.

Assertion of non-specific associations. Using language indicating those associations as deplorable to the unbelievably extreme.

But all too often turns out to be literally unbelievable. With comparisons easily made about all other actors, in this case Labor/Liberal/Nats/etc, when judged by the same skewed grounds these allegations have been laid.

One massive problem with this type of shitscoop writing is, when a truly disgusting association comes to light of some heinous group/individual and some political entity, be it individuals or Party, the languages impact has been minimised due to its low bar for deployment.
