When will Albo realise his 2025 election victory was mostly a rejection of Dutton? The Coalition offered nothing but hate & division. Voters want climate action, environment protection & action on social inequality. Labor is failing here. But Albo's inaction on the #GazaGenocide is worse. 😔 #auspol

How good is it to live in an Australia where a foreign nation is deliberately starving an entire country of people and a South African born white woman is paid from Australian's taxes to defend the foreign-nation-that-starves-people and is also directed by our govt to tell us to shut up about it?
