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

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.

I find it appalling that it is that close!

Abstaining is betrayal to Australians

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

Does it really matter hoping everyone who voted for this bill should be named & hopefully people will remember when elections come around it should never have been allowed to even get this far

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😉🤷

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

who will sell their vote

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

Can you make public who voted for what side?

It should be compulsory to 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

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

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.

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 !

Birmingham most probably he has a habit of crossing the floor

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

It just shows how corrupt Canberra is and needs a wipe out.

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

None. it's going to get defeated

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

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?

We have a two tier legal system in Australia.

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

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

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

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.

Can’t wait for her get the flick

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

YES. In Australia, the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 makes it unlawful to discriminate against a person because of their race. Racial hatred, which involves doing or saying something in public that is likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate, is also unlawful.

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. 😂

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 🧐

It’s pretty obvious she is racist

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.

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.

Yep, you constantly hear about "SYSTEMIC RACISM", from people that do not understand the meaning of the term. It means "racism" that is embedded into laws and government establishments, institutions throughout the country. Here is an example of "systemic racism", the system allows this, the system supports this, the system divides Australians by race alone - legally.

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.

You can say what you like about whitie these days mate, because everything is our fault didn’t you know.

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

All are valid points and legal interpretations 🤔💯✌️😎

100%.

Considering the white people were brought here in chains and forced to work… is this not slavery…
