Excellent statement from Zali Steggall.
The PM needs to realize that caving in to the Israel lobby is the last thing that will deliver 'social cohesion' for Australia.
If he is looking for national unity, and greater safety for Jews, inviting a genocide enthusiast will not deliver. #auspol

I don’t know enough about health funding to know if this is the right amount of money or not, but at least it’s a negotiated agreement, like adults might do.
We could, of course, #CancelAUKUS and add billions to the pot.

For 20 years, I've seen the biggest-ever public marches -- anti-Iraq War, anti-Global Warming, anti-Palestinian genocide and pro-Indigenous rights -- be dismissed as radical fringe concerns while far-right cranks are said to appeal to 'ordinary Australians'
