There are real concerns within the Australian government about what US President Donald Trump is doing in regards to sanctioning the International Criminal Court, government sources tell the ABC.
Penny Wong voted against gay marriage multiple times. She is a lesbian and took advantage of our Gay Marriage laws the second they were introduced (long story short- we have Goldman Sachs to thank for those laws, yes really…) but voted against them multiple times.
Look at the votes, everything after 2016, she was there and voted Yes, before that she was absent every single vote and her party that was present voted 100% No.
It’s well known here that Labor are spineless.
Vote Greens. The party that voted 100% YES in every division.
The greens are so heavily slandered in Aus even mentioning them gets eye rolls. Breaks my heart, they are decent pollies and worth the ranked choice above Labor.
How would you like our foreign affairs minister to address this with a global super power on whom we are heavily dependent as one of our closest allies ?
You are playing the “Labor are epic legends” game though. Just because ON and LNP are ghouls doesn’t make Labor suddenly wonderful and it is not a failure to be publicly critical of an ally. The closest they have come to criticising an ally who is actively committing genocide is officially acknowledging that Palestinians and their rubble exist.
Penny Wong will watch the U.S. crush the ICC while uttering the quietest “don’t” as they do. She is a coward and this is heartbreakingly unsurprising.
Just for reference to other countries-

Spineless doesn’t even begin to cover it.
It seems that claim is not really true:

Besides which, do you want politicians to vote according bro their constituents wishes or according to their own interests?
That’s very specifically only counting after Malcolm Turnbull introduced the vote to parliament and forced both Labor and Liberals hands.
The constituency was in full support of Gay Marriage, Penny ignored it for years since Labor is at their heart, the Catholic party.
LOL.
It’s the way I say it is because reasons and any contrary information is a fabrication.
Indeed.

The entire Labor Party are spineless
You know it.
Yep, it’s why I’ve been voting Green and Senators to either block dogshit or pass decent stuff
Unfortunately things overseas dictated our last election and gave Labor a huge majority. It’s shallow though.
Oh fuck off. We got away from bigoted crap in the Liberals. We still need to keep that festering mess out.
A massive backlash against Trump shit is a good thing. Dont try to spin this to some idiotic conclusionm
Yeah nah Labor are piss weak and dogshit, and saying that isn’t endorsing the Coalition.
Only thing more pissweak than a Labor politician is a Labor voter.
In this case the massive backlash gave us a worse government than we could have had. Labors cowards have sold us out. Shove your opinion up your arse.
You really don’t know how good you have it rn.
Why do Labor people always default to snarky retreating comments?
How the fuck do you know?
As a diplomat, how would you like Wong to address this?
By backing it up with the government pulling out of AUKUS and cutting ties with Israel.
The problem is that’s all there is and no spine to back it up with action. Same with gas and gambling companies. No spine.
The country overwhelmingly wants action on it as well. Overwhelmingly.
No problems taking on the disabled though.
That’s what we want Labor to do.
Yeah nice try, Penny. I’m not giving you PR advice.
I thought so. No answers just criticism because she didn’t show up with a “Free Palestine” shirt.
I wonder how the foreign affairs minister from a liberal, national oor ON government would handle this?
Labor are not your mates, hey. Suggesting that Labor give a fuck about Palestine is repulsive.
That’s not what I suggested, nor what I asked.

I have et said anything like that, and it’s painfully obvious that you’re deflecting.
Given your criticism of Wong, I had thought that surely you would have some preferred strategy.
Instead it seems like you don’t really have e any idea what you’re talking about, other than “labor bad”
