Readers respond warily to the notion of a faith-based political coalition.
I have been dismayed at the cruelty of the Gaza war. I feel strongly for the Palestinians’ plight and believe that Israel is committing genocide. I back the Palestinians on this. But I don’t agree with Fatima Payman’s actions to discredit the government in what looks like an attempt to oust it at the next election.
This government is not here to be used as collateral damage in Payman’s stand against Israel’s actions in Gaza. Try to negotiate with respect, please.“Diversity” has become a sacred Western dogma. Senator Payman cited diversity as part of her defence for crossing the floor, saying there can be no diversity in personality and representation among Labor MPs without diversity of views and opinions. A truism of any human organisation.
Dutton must have forgotten that then Liberal leader Scott Morrison was accused of being heavy-handed in a meeting with Liberal MP Bridget Archer after she crossed the floor in 2021 to support an independent MP’s integrity commission bill.Peter Dutton cannot – without hypocrisy – object to a potential Muslim vote bloc. After all, the Liberal Party has boasted for years that it is a “broad church” – clearly a reference to Christian worship traditions.
If the Allan government taxes the maximum out of the public and continues with this obduracy and “tunnelled” vision, it may find next election it is not the popular party that it once was.While the cuts to the health system are very concerning, all state government departments, including front-line services, have suffered budget cuts. The media is full of stories of delays in service provision, such as the Coroners Court or VCAT.
What if local councils refused to comply? Councils standing up for their residents and saying “enough” – a vote of no-confidence in the state government.
