That Babblet is the 'wong' look to get & it's usually only gotten for interjections like his.

Deport him to Mauritius. He's no better than the nazi filth that got booted back to South Africa last week. He absolutely should have no right of privilege to say that in Parliament AND get away with it.
Penny Wong spks of a 7yr old girl who after Pauline Hanson’s racist stunt, asked her mum “do all Christians hate Muslims?”
Ralph Babet interjects “I do!”
Not just a racist, an openly hateful one too. Our parliament is a clown show of filth.
Wong “And we see it again” Yup #Senate

"... reprehensible & sinister ..." Indeed. And mind-blowingly pathetic.

Censure & suspend permanently.

"Bilal Rauf, a senior adviser to the peak Islamic body ANIC, said Australian Muslims had become "easy targets" for Hanson.

"[The stunt] is utterly reprehensible & sinister in its consequences,"
Hanson's parting election threat, as she's censured and suspended for seven days
Foreign Minister Penny Wong raised the motion on Tuesday after Hanson wore a burqa into the Senate a day earlier.

ENOUGH @albomp.bsky.social of the stupidity of this inequitable 'economic' policy.

We pay more for OUR gas than consumers do in overseas markets!

JAPAN PROFITS with a BILLION $$$ by re-selling OUR gas, which profits - hey - they may use to turn around & invade us again! Wouldn't be the 1st time!
Australia doesn't have a gas shortage problem.

We have a gas export problem, and Australians are paying the price.

Great to see this issue being discussed in Parliament this week! #auspol

When will we ALL wake up to the rort?

C'mon, Australia! Make them pay their dues! Make them pay taxes - plural - like the rest of us 'have to'!

Then, use those taxes for Health, Housing & Education. These 3 are human rights, they're not 'business models'!
Australia’s gas bonanza is for corporate super-profits, not climate superheroes

This'll definitely be on the reading list ... the article itself, but pre-eminently, Henry Reynolds' newest book ...

Australian history has often been written from a southern perspective. But a history of the tropical North sheds light on ‘truth telling’ and questions of race.

"progressive politics is not just about climate targets and tax reform. It must also be about moral courage: the ability to say, “Not in our name,” when innocent lives are being destroyed and our government looks away."

"Why is Chris Bowen prioritising science?"

Because it's infinitely better than prioritising ssssstupudity, Susssssan.

They have a responsibility to rehabilitate the areas that they've stripped bare and mined. But it's pretty much impossible to restore these magnificent forests back to their original state ...

Such great news!

Labor conceding Native Forests to have their way with the new environment laws is a con!

It's only relevant to NSW & Tassie & a bit of QLD. No one else logs native forest anymore because it's not just the trees! It's entire eco-systems with multi-layers of understorey!

Labor's lost the plot.
