- cyphar 8y agoALP voted for it unanimously. I don't hold out much hope that they'll reverse course -- we should push for third parties in the next election.
- rswail 8y agoThey voted for it to cover Bill's ass on the last day of parliament and 2 weeks of Dutton and ScoMo getting dumb people scared about Xmas. The amendments to this stupid act do gut a lot of the stupidities (not completely), so the pressure now is to make this (and the Nauru re-settlement) the only thing that the ALP allows on the first days of parliament next year. Write to your MPs, the shadow ministers and the cross bench. Writing to the LNP politicians is a pointless exercise.
- jsmeaton 8y agoCop a beating over Christmas, who cares? No one is going to remember by election time anyway. The opposition had an easy win today, and they threw it back to the gov.
