"Thing that hasn't prevented collapse elsewhere will be better here because [??????]" What? How? Why? Like people in Cali politics thread thinking preferential voting would solve homelessness despite knowing homelessness is growing in Australia.

Whether a country is democratic depends on whether its people are truly the masters of the country; whether the people have the right to vote, and more importantly, the right to participate extensively; whether they have been given verbal promises in elections, and more importantly, how many of these promises are fulfilled after elections; whether there are set political procedures and rules in state systems and laws, and more importantly, whether these systems and laws are truly enforced; whether the rules and procedures for the exercise of power are democratic, and more importantly, whether the exercise of power is genuinely subject to public scrutiny and checks.

https://x.com/Consortiumnews/status/1771916538905534625?s=20quote:Chaos at Sydney's Port Botany last night as protestors blockaded a ZIM Shipping boat bound for Israel. 19 were arrested including Maritime Union of Australia branch secretary Paul Keating. They now face fines that have recently been increased to $22K and up to two years jail. Angry that Australia is providing military aid to a plausible genocide in Gaza, the crowd chanted: "ZIM Shipping out of Australia!", "Ceasefire now!" and "Albanese, blood on your hands!". edit: oops, meant to post this in the israel/palestine thread. oh well. crepeface has issued a correction as of 05:59 on Mar 25, 2024 |

Journalist exposing bourgeois crimes? Torture, and silence from the Australian government. Chinese double agent caught doing spy poo poo by the Chinese? Penny Wong very upset because Meanwhile protestors trying to stop genocide at Melbourne dockyards are shot with rubber bullets by vicpol and ABC doesn't report jack. Very good stuff.
