“Scientists tell us if we delay urgent climate action we guarantee that global temperatures will keep rising.

Throwing caution to the wind, grasping the nettle, and every little smidgen of opportunity, Australia’s opposition leader, Peter Dutton, was thrilled to make a point in the gurgling tumult of the Israel-Hamas war. Israel’s leaders, he surmised, had been hard done by the International Criminal Court’s meddlesome ways. Best for Australia, he suggested, to cut ties to the body to show its solidarity for Israel.

On our ABC’s The Drum on 5/12/23 An LNP Elder claimed that to Fan the fires of Insecurity is what Politicians are paid to do. The LNP ( Tony Abbott) did it in opposition and they continued to do it for 14 years as Government and are now back again continuing it in opposition. Remember “Pink Bats” when 5 people accidentally died and how the ALP was blamed. In the meantime, the LNP killed thousands of people and watched them die. While according to Michaella Cash the LNP were ” Keeping them Safe”. How do we forget Robodebt, Covid, Off Shore Detention, Health & Welfare cuts, and Homelessness, all increased benefits of the LNP’s good Federal Government management?
” Despite the fact that this was not the government’s decision, that offenders are released into the community all the time after serving their sentences, that some of this cohort have not committed serious crimes and yet have not seen freedom for years, the media has bought into the idea that “these people” are inherently dangerous, that we must keep them locked up at any cost.

After continuing his characteristic bullying, racism and negativity, there is talk on social media that Peter Dutton is facing an impending Liberal Party leadership spill. Belinda Jones reports.
Is James Patterson, Eric Abetz’s party replacement? He surely comes across like him.
Liberals have been playing the “fear card” since Christ played ruck for Jerusalem. If Christ applied for a visa the LNP wouldn’t have let that mother effen rebel against the Jewish establishment in.
Morrison used the fear card to get preselected. Dutton used it against anyone of Colour, against Muslims, he even used it against Christians. Maoris, Pacific Islanders, and the Sudanese weren’t real Christians. By the way, does Dutton even have a church?
“The opposition has spent the morning fearmongering over the Palestinian visas, with the implicit assumption that Palestinians are dangerous. Shadow home affairs minister James Paterson jumped on RN Breakfast to announce, among other outrageous sentiments, that he was “seeking assurances” from Labor that “no corners have been cut” with these temporary visas. (Again, why would they have been?) “A very large number of visas have been granted in a very short period of time,” he added conspiratorially, making no mention of the 1793 visas issued to Israeli citizens in the same period. Wong, meanwhile, was on breakfast TV, assuring Australians once more that all the normal checks and processes had been followed.

No doubt some of you will think we made a mistake in that first sentence. The Uluru page was created in 2017, during the Coalition Government’s tenure. The now resigned Coalition Minister, Ken Wyatt, as Indigenous Affairs Minister, submitted a final report in July 2021 to the Morrison Government, which designed and funded the Voice with $7.3 million.
The Morrison Government, under former Treasurer Josh Frydenberg‘s direction, subsequently included $160 million in the 2019 Budget for the Voice Referendum, assuring Australia a referendum within three years.
Frydenberg openly supported the Voice and expressed confidence that it would succeed:

There is a suggestion of intended fraud and a case of undeclared conflict of interest was reported as far back as April. If the facts are true they are totally damning. Peter Dutton, David Littleproud, and Jacinta Price’s involvement in raising funds for a school where Price’s mother Bess is Assistant Principle. How is it, It never got the publicity in our National MSM or did it and we all missed it ? A, $ 12M backhander to the Yiripinya School raises a web of accusations that’s as good as any “sting” one could imagine. All for kids or on the backs of kids yet to be defined by authorities as “in need”. If closely examined it’s almost a case of back to the future when kids were stolen but with a twist.
Watch all three of the below videos as Bess Price, Peter Dutton and David Littleproud all raise the $12 million grant 3 days in a row which shows it is a coordinated plan to get the $12 million and they all link it to the referendum discussion. Are Dutton and Littleproud pushing the $12 million grant as payback for Bess Price and Jacinta Price helping the “No” vote getting up in the referendum?

If Indigenous people no longer exist as Jacinta Price maintains her job is redundant. However not according to the LNP and Peter Dutton. They certainly see her as Black and use her and Warren Mundine that way.
In a week when Professor Marcia Langton has been demonised for making the straightforward point that the basic arguments of the No campaign always resolve into racism, Price’s remarks demonstrate that the No campaign in the end rejects as either non-existent or irrelevant the impact of the invasion and colonisation of Australia on First Peoples. Her particular version is one of extreme assimilation: Indigenous peoples now have running water and food, colonisation had a positive impact, and the Indigenous Affairs portfolio that she herself holds should be dissolved.

When one individual doesn’t make or even begin to represent history and denies the reality of the racial experience of whole generations of people she’s chosen by the LNP as their representative and promoted to a White audience by Peter Dutton as being the REAL representative of Australia’s Aboriginal peoples . Price was selectively chosen to be the “Avenging Angel” listened to at the expense of hundreds of Indigenous persons elected as representatives who came together to discuss debate and work on for years to arrive at the consensus came to be known as the Uluru Statement. When Jacinta Price speaks at CPAC or the Press Club we are witnessing exactly what Marcia Langton said was the truth. That the logic of their argument was basically racist or plain stupid.
What we are witnessing is the same logic applied when there’s a 97% consensus among Climate scientists about the reality of man-made Climate Change that the 3% of corrupt deniers get as much if not more publicity than the scientists. Paid puppets of the Murdoch media and the IPA, like Andrew Bolt, are promoted as “experts” in publications telling Australians for years that the planet was cooling. The investment by a concentrated mainstream media in presenting the argument of “don’t know vote No” for as one advocating basic human rights and unifying when history and social metrics clearly say otherwise is absurd. Then broadcasting “Yes” to be divisive and reverse racist beggar’s belief. However, when analyzed and push comes to shove that is as Marcia Langton says the publicity being given to the absurdity of the systemic racist logic that we have all lived with these past 240 years but only some of us have in the main Indigenous Australians have lived lived.
It’s the same argument imported direct from America today by Trumpists and neo-Nazis and Christian Nationalists who like Jacinta Price say “slavery was good for the African Americans” and their experience today is their Lifestyle Choice
This is what Peter Dutton gets from making Jacinta Nampijinpa Price the Coalition’s Indigenous spokeswoman: a weaponised conservative woman who can say things out loud that white conservatives haven’t dared to say since the early 1960s.
Price’s comment conveniently ignored the fact that colonisation to many Aboriginal people, unlike convicts who might have been flogged but eventually got tickets of leave, meant starvation through the loss of hunting grounds, loss of life through massacre by guns and poison, mass deaths through imported disease, and last-chance survival in mission stations where traditional culture and language were often forbidden and families were broken apart.
The idea that the resulting trauma did not flow through generations to the present day is poppycock.

Listen to words out of the mouths of these two “No” advocates if you listen are the same sounds, declared as logic, we hear from Donald Trump. Mundine ignores history and any notion that there’s a difference between what’s right and wrong. He simply declares there is an “equivalence”, and “good and bad are on both sides” of Yes and No campaigns when they’re not. Trump said that after Charlottesville when his supporter drove his car into a crowd injured people and killed a woman.
The word “listen” has no place when Mundine says “We will fix Aboriginal community problems trust us and simply say “No” to their request for a Voice. Words, heard over and over again for more than 10 generations by Governors, Churches, and bureaucrats. Promises made and more often than not broken without any beneficial outcomes by successive governments. Einstein’s definition of insanity takes pride of place in his proposal. History has shown a trail of failed outcomes time and time again leaving Indigenous Australians at the bottom of every social metric. It’s with shame that any concept of a universal human right in Australia is ignored.
Peter Dutton is simply worse at fear-mongering with his simplistic claim of “it’s reverse racism” Racism against the kin of those kind-hearted white colonists now being terrorized. Invaded by Activists, Academics, Unionists, and Commies. Any Woke argument that the colonizers never had the best interests of Australian Aborigines at heart only their own is simply fake. He’s recruited Jacinta Price to hide behind and say that “Colonisation was the best thing that ever happened to Indigenous Australians.” Again this is the very argument Trump runs when African Americans cry Black Lives Matter he cries White Lives Matter. When any attempt at examining the statistical truth of that reality is made both Trump and Abbott bounce back it’s “lifestyle choices” and blame them
Dutton’s argument that any systemic racism in Australia is Fake, only driven by ” left-wing activists” who want to tear Australia apart is supported he maintains by listening to Price and Mundine” who like Dutton supposedly speak for a crowd of unnamed First Nations peoples who are never seen to stand behind them. On the other hand, the Yes advocates have listened to a Voice. One that Australia saw develop over 6 years of discussion by hundreds of Indigenous Australians who were elected to come together and provide us with their humble request in the form of the Uluru Statement which was then instantly rejected by the LNP. Now that’s “listening” like British Colonizers have always done. Whenever Human Rights are raised in Australia the LNP tells the UNAHRC they’re “not needed” along with the chorus of Murdoch’s choir making us seem we stand shoulder to shoulder with Russia China and Nth Korea.
Leading No campaigner Warren Mundine says he would consider vying for a spot on the Voice should the referendum succeed on October 14.
On Thursday, Mr Dutton returned serve, branding Ms Langton’s language as “vitriolic” and “bitter”, and claiming Yes campaign members would be appointed to the Voice advisory body.
“Well, I think they’re just providing, you know, a sort of a look through the window of what the Voice might be as a body – if it’s successful on October 14, it will be divisive,” he told Nine Radio host Ray Hadley.
“You hear it in the language of Marcia Langton, but some of the others as well … members on the (Yes) committee who have got union affiliations or Labor Party backgrounds or sympathisers to the communist cause.
“These people are the ones who would have all of the power under the Voice that the Prime Minister is proposing,” Mr Dutton said.
Mr Mundine said no matter the result on October 14, Australia would be “polarised”, but pleaded for both sides of the campaign to end the “vitriolic arguments and fights”.
“My concern is that we don’t wake up on Sunday (October 15) and the whole place is on fire. We really want people to know, no matter what the decision is, that it’s a democracy,” he said.
“People will make that choice and we must all accept it. And we must then work together to deal with the issues that are happening in Indigenous communities.”
It is ironic some of the most vocal supporters of free speech use “anti-woke” stances to suppress essential debate on important national issues, typically by running disinformation and scare campaigns. The Coalition is now almost indistinguishable from the United States Republican Party.

The Australian public service cohabits with copious consultants because of three hiring freezes imposed by Coalition governments over the past 10 years.
The Abbott government froze all hirings in 2013 for 18 months, resulting in the loss of about 11,000 jobs; the Turnbull government did it again in 2016, but more targeted – it only applied to a few departments, and 5000 jobs went; the Morrison government imposed another freeze in 2020 in response to COVID-19 that went for six months and resulted in the loss of about 3000 positions.

White Australians like to think of themselves as an egalitarian and frank people, despising pretentiousness, while basking in a reputation for larrikinism and mateship. But this is all a front, papering over a culture that is deeply racist, excessively masculinist, and incorrigibly populist. Indeed, from its very beginnings, white Australia has been a morally backward society. And there are no signs that this is abating. Its moral backwardness is disgustingly on show in the No campaign against the forthcoming referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
