Labors treatment of refugees is what "radicalised" my politics way back in the day. It was fucking evil then, and it's fucking evil now

If you wouldn't have said the political party, I would have taken you seriously.
Dont care if it is X or Y, all of them can go fck themselves.
I mentioned the party, because up until that point in my life, I saw Labor as the "good guys". Realising that they specfically were willing to actively hurt people and fuck over the powerless for political gain had meaning to me, because up until that point, I was invested in them. I already knew it about the Liberals, but I hadn't had to confront that truth with Labor, and given that the system is effectively a two party system, it was the understanding that both sides fucking suck that disenfranchised me.
And it's worth pointing out, I'm talking about the 90's here. This all happened a long time ago, when I was younger and more naive about politics.
The fact that the same shit is still happening...
Ok, but dont for one fucking second tell me that One Nation will treat them better.
Dont pull an American retardation next election.
What the fuck?
In what world do you think me, of all people, is secretly stanning for the queen of bigots?
Someone saying they don't like labor does not mean they support one nation or the coalition
It would be nice if the government would stop exploiting the slow speed of the courts to keep hurting people blatantly unconstitutionally.
Refugees are not illegal immigrants so what the hell is the actual problem being discussed?
Anyone held in detention camps beyond a reasonable time should be compensated, 11-12 years is really taking the piss!
Fucking tired of white people thinking these lands are theirs. You fucking conquered the world and have the audacity to complain about refugees and immigrants? Cry me a fucking river, racist.
