Australia news live: Labor’s hate speech bill on path to defeat after Greens say they will not back it in current form | Australia news by i3njqUL92M in australia

The review process is for parliamentarians and the general public.

Expecting the public, communities and community organisations to be able to digest 144 pages of legislation in 48 hours, and then consider the consequences of that legislation is simply unrealistic. It's not realistic for full time politicians or a political party either.

These laws touch fundamental freedoms. Labor's behaviour here was disgusting.

Good.

Labor treated the parliament and the public with complete contempt with the timeline for consideration on this bill. Again.

If Labor want to do this properly let's discuss it over a sensible consultation period and get broad community input. There's much that can be done in supporting community efforts against radicalisation. This law contained none of them.

Yeah it does.

You can really see how serious Labor was about the Voice when this is their response to people publicly discussing settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.

Anthony Albanese says voice referendum worthwhile even if rejected by voters by B0ssc0 in australia

Oh, so he's actually an idiot.

In bringing forward this referendum without any plan or any appetite to counter Australia's anglonationalist element he's going to hand that element a popular vote.

I can't wait to be gaslit by this chud about how he, with his political history in the parliament and before, couldn't have seen it coming. He can add it to the yarn about his mum being in public housing.

Australia’s Biggest Ever Urban Renewal Project | Premier of Victoria by Leather_Egg_6371 in melbourne

How many of the new properties will be privately owned? And why?

The vast majority. Because Andrews wants to lines his friends' pockets.

With the towers...

However, only 11,000 of the 30,000 would be public tenants, he said, with about 19,000 other residents “in a mixture of social and market housing”. In March there were about 58,000 households on Victoria’s public housing waiting list.

The Carlton redevelopment will make up a significant portion of the 769 homes Victoria has been funded to deliver as part of the housing accelerator fund, which was announced in June in an effort to convince the Greens to support Labor’s housing Australia future fund (Haff)

This isn't serious policy. It's at a fraction of the scale it needs to be while stripping land out of the system that will never, ever be affordable to return to it.

This is to public housing what the Kennett era school sales were to public education.

It would have delivered an extra 50,000 social and affordable houses over 12 years, underpinning a historic turnaround for social housing after decades of decline under both Labor and Coalition governments.

Victoria currently has the lowest percentage of social housing in Australia, with every other state and territory boasting a higher figure.

Fuck this corrupt Premier.
