Senate (happy to be corrected if wrong)
ALP: 25
Greens: 11
So they had 36, plus Pocock is 37.
There are 4 other independants, other than Payman.
They needed 2
Maybe the ALP need a better negotiator...
Well, it’s certainly not a racist setup for a Muslim minister who refused to play the game.
It’s lucky that we’re not a structurally racist country with a strong history of demonising minorities.
Yeah. I’m utterly sceptical whenever I see stuff like this.
What was being reported yesterday?
Our media’s most popular target. A woman who didn’t keep her head down or her mouth shut.
Fatima Payman. She’s the problem now, according to the article at the top of the thread.
Cesspool sounds accurate.
The only thing we do better than racism is sexism.
I find most non political people pretty racist and misogynistic, hence the 90th woman has been murdered this year. And First Nation women don’t even rate a news story. And 37% of Australians would vote for trump 🤨🤢
The reporting is either accurate or it's not. I see absolutely no reason to bring any element of racism into the discussion. WA mining lobbyists were clearly in everyone's ears.
It creates a narrative, it tells a story and encourages you to view it through a particular lens. The first word is a story in itself.
It certainly supports sexist and racist narratives.
And of course it is also written so it will be clicked on and shared.
