Do you support a change in Senate leadership after this surrender?
Not picking on Booker - we should ask this of literally all the no votes.

ABC news services are describing the NAZI rally outside the NSW Parliament as an "antizionist" rally. It was a FASCIST rally. An "antizionist" rally would not get a permit & they would've been arrested, be in court today & fined. Instead the NAZIs got away with it. 👁️Stay woke. Ask:

The question for the minister on this shitty bill is straightforward - what bad past projects would this have stopped, if any.
The Government is seeking a deal with the Coalition to pass changes to our environment laws….
Which means those changes will need the support of climate sceptics like Matt Canavan, who recently called for renewable projects to be replaced by new coal plants.

ICE is now raiding night clubs while continuing to terrorize our communities. This is just the latest case of ICE’s unchecked power. This brutality continues to worsen. ICE is trying to divide communities, they know they can’t pull this off if communities come together to stop them. They fear us.
