No one should be abstaining I hope Payman keeps her word The one who sells out Australian parental rights might be the downfall of their party for 2025. We have long memories

I find it appalling that it is that close!

This is not democracy. Something so important should not be decided by a handful politicians. It should be decided by all voters. Switzerland has direct democracy, the people always make the choice not the politicians. Ours is a pseudo democracy.

How can it possibly be that close...who on earth do we have representing us 🤔

It is crazy if even one person voted for it. This is a bill against freedom of speech.

The one who will be voted out next election…

have everything crossed this gets defeated .. for the sake of not only now but future generations

Bills should at least need a 66% support to pass... 51/49 is bs...

What happened to the sufficient cross bench to defeat it. No-one should be allowed to abstain! Represent your electorates or get out!!

who will sell their vote

If the liberal party drops the ball, it is finished. Far too convenient for anyone to abstain in such an important vote. It must reflect on all of them. The games they play.

Depends who's gets paid off the most to vote for it

Can you make public who voted for what side?

Could be any one of them seeing as though none of them worry about constitutional validity.

Birmingham most probably he has a habit of crossing the floor

We have a lot of both TRAITORS and SPIES In the halls of grubbyment and a lot of pollies that have been compromised either internally, externally and internationally. All will exert pressure as required. Watch wait and see.

Maybe a few Australians should be popping up on the doorsteps of the politicians office's who push this through and have a few words face to face😉🤷

They are all paid to be there and vote as per their constituents wishes, not their parties!! If they can’t do that then they have no right to be in parliament

2 will walk out before the vote.

This should be voted by the Australian public. How come they made us vote on the voice bs but not something as important as this. Like f u govt. I won't be doing it regardless of what u say

all just a show ! another distraction , while economy free falls ! money sent overseas , immigration out of control , bureaucrats increase their pay ,, over reach and over governed !

It must not pass its a betrayal of our rights.

The one who gets the biggest payout

None. it's going to get defeated

The one who wants to loose their seat at the next election.

Keep the colour out of it. She should be hauled before the courts for racism like they did to Pauline Hanson.

If that comment was reversed it would be called racism. Racism works both ways which is something certain people don't understand even mixed race persons. All this person does is seek publicity and she gets it BAD publicity.

That’s worse than Pauline’s comment that the judge ridiculously found her guilty of.

Do you have to give this publicly seeking person more publicity?

Double standards as always.. and the reality is she seems untouchable 🤷🏼‍♀️Says and does whatever she wants without consequences!

We have a two tier legal system in Australia.

If this goes before the same judge who shafted Pauline, Lydia may be bankrupted and removed from parliament. Not likely to happen though because it's said about "white" people

Can’t wait for her get the flick

She couldn’t sound out the rights vowels to pronounce the correct name. I guess that’s because she obviously wagged school during proper English classes. Just another wannabe blackfella imitating the real deal. As an indigenous man myself….is she 1% or 2%….please explain.

Says the Daughter of an Irishman!..😂😂😂

A professional football player in the UK will been handed between a 6 and 12 match ban for posting a joke about a fellow Korean team mate and that they all look the same. It's all double standards

Thorp has more white in her then aboriginal , what a joke

It’s sedition, can’t believe Cousin Charles a few times removed is so impotent. Along with the entire “government” Is it proof we the people are defrauded of the Australian Constitution ACT 1900 ? My Blood, My King 🧐

I’ve been told by a reliable source that racism does not extend to the ‘white patriarchy’ apparently we are the scourge of, and the sole reason for the woes of society. 😂

Here's the racist party of Australia

Who cares... wait till the election. She won't be there

All politicians are good at it, racism needs to stop Lida is no different to Elbow in using the racist card but at least she's not supporting killing is she Mr Roberts.

Apparently only white people can be racist. Everyone else would be terrible upset and offended if they were accused of racism and Gov, msm and Corp security will cancel out the white person and acf8se then of racism which is ok. What a world we live where lunatics are giving positions they did not work for or deserve and the sheeple just do their sheeple thing regardless.

They go around calling everyone who disagrees with their nutjob Marxist polices racists, but then they let you know, without doubt, that they're the real racists.

An obnoxious and totally racist comment ( and I am no fan of Farrell and Watt).

100%.

Certainly is, but apparently racism can't go the other way.

That's exactly what it is! Racism! So where is white Australians protections against Racism against whites? And where is our Christianphobia laws?

Yes, but nothing gets said they can call you a White whatever but the moment you say black well that’s a different story

Absolutely racist! But you forget, only white people can be racist in our woke society. White people are fair game punching bags for free racism.

It breaks my heart to see families reduced to camping in reserves, parks and beside our roads. Disappointed with our government, both parties need to have a rethink before the next election!

2060 it'll be the Islamic Republic of Australia at this rate.🤬

Shared power. Shared ideas. There is on two parts. Seperated by name alone. When will we have a government that supports the people, and our country. And not treat us as slave's, or convicts.

VERY DISAPPOINTING! 😡

Keep fighting the good fight Malcolm you are doing a good job !

Dutton hasn't got what it takes to right a sinking ship.

People don't seem to understand they are on the same side there are 2 main parties to give you the illusion of choice only nothing more

Vote one nation…

It's the same way here in Canada to

Won't be voting for either of the majors.

every one vote for a small party not greens

Labor & libs are both the same we only vote independents like Katter & one nation in fnq

Dutton or Albo are not fit to lead our country. Don’t trust either of them.

Both major parties labour and liberal all the same

Is it true Albo is going to South America to encourage people to move here?

It's the same everywhere in the West. UK and Europe all talk same plan

Doesn't surprise me as both parties are puppets for their masters and doing exactly as is required of them. The only way to beat them will be for good minor parties to join forces.

I don’t think We should read all the negative in this , The international student program is separate from mass migration same as skilled migration it is people contributing to Australia financially, We got good uni’s and are selling education those kids go home after their education completed as Australia doesn’t manufacture anything anymore where does the employment need to come from for Aussie workers the mines in WA cant employ everyone.

2 party preferred, even if we don't vote for them, we're still stuck with them.

Would still give dutton preference over the albanese clowns . dutton knows the pain ppl are going through and will take long time to fix this mess. rough times ahead

How about the temporary visa holders live in a tent on the uni grounds Instead of tax paying aussies

How disappointing this is. None of our leaders want to help these people. 3rd world conditions. No Health available. No homes, No food for kids

A vote for one nation is an absolute wasted vote they cannot do anything

Well, what else does anyone expect? The other wing of the same bird. Nothing will change dramatically with a duopoly in charge.

Same problem and same named liberal party to blame in Canada.
