I am torn, deeply torn. On one hand, I have the immense support of the rank-and-file members, unionists, the lifelong the party volunteers, who are calling on me to hang in there and to make change happen internally.
On the other hand, I am pressured to conform to Caucus solidarity and toe the party line.
I see no middle ground and my conscience leaves me no choice.
Fuck Labor.
The only thing they’re willing to take a principled stand against is people taking a principled stand.
The kind of people who not only stand there and let a toddler drown in a duckpond if there was a sign saying ‘no swimming’, they’d fight anyone else trying to jump in and save it.
Lawful-neutral scum.
Current federal Labor is weird. I mean, they’re not literal rapists like the Liberal party, which is nice, but damn, they’ve fallen a long way. I feel like fed Labor is riding on the coattails of state(s) Labor, which have been pretty good.
Wow I love that characterisation of it.
