Does that make it OK?

I thought only rogue states and terrorists bomb foreign embassies.

Yes, it makes it OK.

Rogue states and terrorists need to appreciate that diplomatic immunity doesn't apply to them.

Makes for an interesting precedent - in a goose and gander sort of way.

Still waiting for your evidence of Penny Wong condemning the Iranian attack on Israel.

You made the statement about the defeNing silence, I googled Wong and Iran attack znd saw several articles refuting that, I don't need to be at your beck and call and do your research, do it yourself, as you should have done before making such a silly claim

"I am the prime minister"
Albanese was so desperate to prove he cares about gendered violence, he forgot one thing: if you're a proper leader, it's not about you

And after albosleazy's bully tactics and grabbing the microphone at Sunday's domestic violence rally in Canberra leaving the organiser in tears, albosleazy's minders whisked him away from the angry crowd. They quickly got him on a plane and whisked him away to an impromptu meeting in Alice Springs about 15-1700klms away by fast jet, far from the angry mob in Canberra and media. I think he has now surfaced from under the rocks.

Leadership that is 'out of touch' seems to be a growing trait here.

LYM has just started a thread on similar publicly embarrasing flim-flammery and wiff-waffery from the UK's PM-in-waiting.

Global outbreak of foot in mouth.

There has been a 30% spike in women being killed by partners, this is year on year for the past 2 years. Unacceptable, requires a change in tactics to drag this figure as close to zero as possible. Should the country declare this as a National Emergency?

National Emergency legislation has been framed to provide government action for things like large scale natural disasters like fire and flood, the Army can be mobilised, practical relief efforts, government subsidies allocated etc.

I think the calls from the 23 year old woman mobilising support for this social evil is pretty damned good, but declaring it a National Emergency is IMHO an overreaction. Domestic violence legislation is also a state based framework and I think the courts are far too lax in dealing with it. Too many repeat offenders get away with a slap on the wrist, but this is handled by low level district courts in each state.

From a Federal standpoint, there could be legislation that takes it into Federal juristriction and make DV a province of the Family Court or The Federal Magistrates Court (same judges anyhow). But a National Emergency that Albo refuses to entertain is hardly going to be the answer.

Did Albo handle the situation well? No, I dont think he did from a political point of view

Clarification on the Rally, I hope the organiser re thinks her approach and engages rather than dictates.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-n ... -the-story

This a guy who grew up with adversity, his real life father, if I can call him that, got ALbo's mum pregnant and then pissed off back to Italy. They lived in a high rise ------ council flat in inner city Sydney, but Albo never played the victim. I have never heard about this 10 week attempted remarriage, but it sounds horrendous.

Yes he stumbled at the rally, but not because he was a bad person, not because he was a politician, but he appears to have gone with good intentions and in the heat of the rally it went South.

The albozleazy labor Govt. is in a world of pain today with a few matters.

Last Saturday night an Oz military chopper from HMAS Hobart had to take evasive action from a chinese fighter jet dropping flares 300m in front of the chopper. They were operating in international waters in the Yellow Sea off Sth Korea.
Defence Min.Marles said it was completely unacceptable, is that the best the Govt.can do. Why isn't sleazy picking up the phone to xi and telling him to pull his head in. Just like the marine sonar incident, sleazy did not take it up with xi when they were together in the USA. So sleazy has not yet done or said anything about this recent incident and doubt if the gutless wonder will.

When labor released 149 crims from the lockups last year, there have been numerous accounts of these mongrels causing problems and mayhem in the community. Recently one of them had his ankle monitor removed and with others entered a home in Perth WA and viciously assaulted the elderly man and woman, she came close to being killed. Now the sleazy mob are saying it was not their fault, they blamed some department they formed to make recommendations to ministers jiles or O'Neill. The buck stops at the ministers desk not some little offshoot department.

And the drama continues with Brit Higgins from Canberra fame. Why did the labor Govt. pay out $2.4M to her in one day for supposed compensation. These matters would normally take weeks or months to settle.

Environment Min.plibarsec has on her table a proposal from mining company Glencore mining, a Swiss mob to pump CO2 liquid into the Great Artesian Basin water supply, mostly around Qld and central Oz. Numerous councils and farmers are furious with the proposal which could cause untold damage to the environment and food supplies. Where is albosleazy on this, he should knock it on its head. It came up in the previous Govt. and now Glencore wants it to go ahead, because they have a weak labor Govt. in Oz to contend with.

Sleazy made a fool of himself at the recent women's rally in the ACT where he bullied the organiser into tears, he is a grub.

Come on next Fed.election to wipe this filthy mob off the map.

The Australian PM is scoring that many own goals with the issue of those released from detention requiring then not requiring GPS trackers. An Under 12 soccer team would be reluctant to give him a run on jumper. His attempt to shift the blame on the latest decision by his appointed panel to remove the GPS tracker was pathetic in the extreme.

You can stop hyperventilating now, Sport.

While your mob were in power in Canberra, they put the decision in the too hard basket - amazing really that Scomo couldn't make a decision while wearing his secret Environment hat. You remember, one of many such hats.

Of course, Albanese only wears one hat, and it is not the Environment one.

Anyway, the weak Labor government in Queensland have now as good as knocked it on the head, as it was their decision all along.

Amazing Jackspratt, you highlighting. Morrison's ambivalence and ultimately not making a decision that the federal government at the time was not entitled to make, yet you laud the Qld Premier for hosing down the application to which the state was entitled to make.
