Yep. David Crowe completely does not grasp the idea of principled support of human rights. Implies a Labor majority indicates support for genocide. Scary as all hell these people.

almost as tho the class of power loves genocide a lot. When any genocide is too much genocide and David Crowe here has decided not to know this.

we know that genocide is colonialism's preferred business model. our fervent wish must be for these people to not do it to 'us' (anyone not in the out group today will be soon enough). it's clear they would.

there is literally no evidence that the Greens results in the lower house are linked to standing against genocide. Think about that. The dominant voices in our public sphere are to produce and boost a noisy pro-genocide position. By design. They could simply shut up about it.

Greens were particularly targeted by ALP (read the Erickson article) even though quite a few ALP seats were won with Greens preferences.

'Except Kos says.'

Sorry, yik. But that, by itself, is perhaps instructive.

Bandt was an invisible member who took his electorate for granted (I live in it). That’s why he was voted out.

Interestingly, nobody has suggested that the result in Dickson was due to Dutton’s full throated support for genocide.

right? They use the same unevidence and speculative technique to assert the coalition lost votes for supporting genocide, to shut the fuck up, to scold the Greens…

They can FRO!
It is amazing that so many supposed leaders can turn a blind eye to terrorism and genocide in the modern world.

It isn't amazing

It is disappointing
