Here's the first I heard of it(it has my kind of angle):

Federal elections downunder- correct me if I'm wrong - but it's fully and genuinely Proportional Representation, right? STV or what?

'I don't have sympathy for many of his actions but essentially I can't see what is served by keeping him incarcerated.'"

---Anthony Albanese, Labor Party "leader", speaking in January last year about his fellow countryman, Julian Assange.

"In Canberra last week I met some Australian members of parliament. It gave me hope, because until I heard them speak I had always thought that Israel’s right wing politicians were the worst. —-(LAUGHTER)— I’ve never heard any Israeli politician speak about the Palestinian people the way that those Australian politicians did. But they are Australia’s problem, not mine. (LAUGHTER) I spoke with the Australian foreign minister; she talked and she was very nice but we could not agree on anything." (LAUGHTER)

---Gideon Levy, speaking in Auckland, 3 December 2017

Which actions? Exposing war crimes?

I can't see what is served by keeping him incarcerated.'"

Disingenuous? When the obvious reason is pour encourager les autres.

Well, we'll have to see how the new guy acts. Will he make representations to Patel, Biden?

Will he dare defy his imperial master?

No, and no.

Labor governments in Australia are just as cruel, just as cowardly, as Liberal governments.
