One Nation's rise is hardening Australia's migration debate — shaping belonging for those inside and decisions for those outside.

our government supported and participated in the genocide, and they deserve to be badly punished (at the ballot box) for it. If they hate ON then all the better

I could write paragraphs trying to explain what a reactionary buttdump your whole comment is and how harming our vulnerable and destroying the social fabric of Australia in a slide to batshit stupid billionaire-couped fascism will not punish a government that did nothing while palestinians were being murdered - but you know what? I dont think you're actually capable of comprehending it.

So just get in the bin.

I understand your frustration, even fury, with our government but remember ON hate people like you and others of us who demand that the genocide to stop. Under ON the pro Zionist boot licking would be on a completely different order of magnitude and hey, they would seriously consider giving Israel free islands as their patron, Gina, has recommended, on which to manufacture any and everything, including weapons parts (because weapons are the biggest source of income for Israel, surprise, surprise).

of course ON would be worse, that's the whole point. It would hurt middle australians, it would hurt the top of town... it would be a disaster for everyone except for the shadow brokers in canberra and the foreign lobbies which rule the country.

What else would be capable of waking australians up to reality? they need to feel consequences personally before they start giving a shit.
