      There was a guy who torture and killed dogs on video a while back. Guy was doxxed as a taxidermist with a house in the outback. Locals hunted him down and burned his house down before the cops could do anything. I don’t think anyone was ever charged with a crime.

      I don’t know what this has to do with this but it feels relevant somehow

      Yet, the greens received less votes and were the only party with an anti genocide agenda. Like America, Australia was uncaring at best.

      The country gets the representation it voted for.

        The greens are a flip flop party who will knock down a decent solution because it’s not perfect.

        That’s what the Australians I know think of them.

          Sticking to principles is the opposite of flip plop. I agree, they are not pragmatic, though. However, no other party with a chance at a seat was anti genocide. If they did the same or better, the argument could be made that aussies care. They did worse nationally. Aussies don’t care.

            Yes but governments can’t make massive changes in legislation easily and small incremental changes over time can achieve the same results.

            Like they say, don’t let perfection be the enemy of good

              Yes, I agree, but they were still the only party that were opposed to genocide and nobody cared enough to vote for them.

              So whatever your views of the greens, the voters view of genocide was that it wasn’t important.

        Yeah… No. The vast majority supported the genocide, either enthusiastically or through lesser evil politics. And no I’m not talking about voting for Harris; I’m talking about the liberal reaction to pro-Palestine protests and Uncommitted.

    Dutton, or the snake that replaced him, would be pushing for more.

    So, yeah, I’m not happy with this answer. But it’s still better than the alternative.

    Take fucking note, white lily American no-voters.

      The US electoral system is utterly fucked. At least voting for a third-party in Aus can make some sort of difference.
