Two of Australia's Most Recent Failures in Democracy: the #ALP #Conference, and #ABC #Insiders. BOTH public Forums FROZE OUT the #Zionist #Palestine and #Gaza #Genocide accusations presented by Ed Husic. #auspol
Carefully #controlled and #manipulatively #orchestrated. Just like #Albo has developed in his public life since he set his eyes on his senior #auspol career. Pretty disgusting, if you ask me.

Ed Husic, the ONLY #Labor dissenter, shows real COURAGE. The former industry minister broke ranks on the 1st day of Labor’s #auspol conference to support #gas_export_tax, endorse #Indigenous #truth-telling & press for more criticism of Israel’s conduct in #Gaza. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Husic says Labor ‘allergic to dissent’ as he breaks ranks on key government positions at party conference
Criticism comes as prime minister frames unity as point of difference to political opponents, saying ALP chooses ‘progress over protest’
theguardian.com
Australians have an unfettered right to criticise Israel and Zionism. And that applies whether the criticism is mild, strong, fair, unfair, mocking, vicious... We would not tolerate a speech constraint w.r.t. any other country. The feelings of supporters of Israel are not relevant to this right.
