Labor in House of Reps now called for a suspension of standing orders & calls upon @GladysLiuMP to explain her position to the House.

@cporterwa responds by playing the race card, referring to Menzies govt & the White Australia Policy.

Stay classy Porter

@GladysLiuMP @cporterwa The Speaker is losing his voice

Gladys Liu nowhere to be seen

MP for Gellibrand expelled under 94A for interjecting/unparliamentary language

Porter accusing Labor of 'outrageous' slurs, has said 'Sam Dastyari' about 100 times, govt trying to make it about race

@GladysLiuMP @cporterwa MP for Mayo @MakeMayoMatter says this goes beyond party politics, appeals to govt NOT to use their slim majority to prevent this vote - notes 'we are only calling for the MP for Chisholm to give a statement to the House' [paraphrased]

Says she's 'deeply concerned'

@GladysLiuMP @cporterwa @MakeMayoMatter Question put - that the MP for Chisholm address the House of Representatives to explain her position

Division in progress

Bells ringing ~ 4 mins

#auspol #qt
@GladysLiuMP @cporterwa @MakeMayoMatter Question resolved in the negative

Ayes 68
Noes 72

That means that the govt has BLOCKED Gladys Liu from speaking & explaining her position to the House of Reps about her associations with groups linked to the Chinese Communist Party.

Let that sink in

Hey @AlboMP

Mind if I have a word?

I'll be frank, I'm not happy about what appears to be Labor capitulating to the coal industry in response to the electoral defeat & the concerns of QLD mining communities.

I want to see Labor creating pathways out of coal
🐝
#auspol #qanda
I just can't reconcile how Labor can both pursue proactive climate change policy while also supporting coal. Can't get my head around it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I note the wording has changed slightly from 'supporting a transition from coal' to now 'supporting coal'.
The reason coal-dependent communities fear losing the coal industry is that it will adversely affect them financially, fair call.

But I want to take a look at the big picture.

Often mining communities are FIFO/camp-living situations, long hours, hard yakka.

How To Refer A Candidate To The High Court

For 40 days after the return of writs on June 28th Aussies will have the chance to refer any candidate to the HC to check their eligibility under s.44 of Constitution.

This is our Constitutional right

Australians can ONLY do this for 40 days after June 28, after that only the govt can refer people to the High Court.

This is a 40 day window of opportunity that may turn this election of it's ear.

It could also mean that Clive Palmer spent $70 million for nothing!!!

Tweeps you need to go to the High Court website

Here's 7 logical reasons why NOT to vote LNP based on protecting the Rule of Law.

THE most fundamental thing in our society.
#auspol #qanda
Most people understand the Rule of Law exists only when the executive (Queen/GG), the judiciary (judges) & the legislature (Parliament/politicians) don't interfere in each other's business right?

Foundation of our society.

So, why does LNP wanna mess with it?
#auspol
The common law system has worked for millennia, yet on several occasions this LNP govt has threatened our very Rule of Law by coming 'perilously close' (quote from @markdreyfusQCMP) to undermining the very system they claim to defend.

Today’s proceedings are due to get underway from 10.30am. I’ll be Tweeting updates from Prince Abdullah’s evidence throughout the day.
Before things get underway today, here’s what we know so far about the High Court dispute between co-owners, Kevin McCabe & Prince Abdullah Bin Mosaad Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who each own 50 per cent of Sheffield United..
#twitterblades #sufc
SUL, a company controlled by Mr McCabe and his family, has alleged ‘conspiracy’ and ‘unfairly prejudicial conduct’ and wants damages.

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

Now all of a sudden she can’t talk. This woman is a Trojan Horse ready and waiting to unleash her evil minions. Anyone supporting and defending her are complicit. If Democrats don’t stand up to her and Republicans don’t call them out, they are all useless. #Radicals
Debbie try to get it right this time. Omar Ilhan is radicalizing members of Congress. It is happening before our very eyes. Send her a strong message. Censure her by name.
She has infiltrated our government with her radical behavior and other radicals are applauding her because Nancy Pelosi, who is weak and feeble, is afraid to call her out. It's time we get rid of Fancy Nancy.

So Virginia is going to replace a man that supports murdering born alive babies & replace him with another man that supports that barbaric practice. But the difference is that Justin Fairfax can deflect any attacks against him by playing the race card.

#PoliticalHumanShields
Y'all ain't woke yet ! Democrats use minorities as political human shields. When Kanye went to the white house, the white liberal couldn't call him the N-word, so they had #PoliticalHumanShields like Don Lemon do it for them.
Why do you think that Democrats have made " Women of Color " the faces of their party? Do you think it's cause they wanna show off their diversity? Nope, if that was the case, they would celebrate white and asian men and women also.

So here's a thing that happened and I have some things to say.

A familiar scene. Young white men act despicably, showing unfathomable racism, disrespect, perceived supremacy, entitlement, and all round assholery. Pretty standard stuff.
The response, too, is as predictable as the MAGA hats topping their high-and-tight, Hitler youth, rent-a-prick haircuts.

1/ So the right bemoans folks of color 'playing the race card' or claiming to be victims of racism (even when they are), then insists (#TuckerCarlson) that criticism of #BiffKav is little more than 'anti-white' racism & proof we don't want white men to have nice things...
2/ Aside from the blinding hypocrisy (which is typical: right-wingers play victim better than anyone...victims of big gub'mint, and Muslims and gays and humanists and feminists and immigrants, etc), note the simple factual absurdity of the argument...
3/ First off, white men have lots of nice things. Like most of the executive positions in the private sector and a disproportionate share of wealth and the vast majority of tenured faculty gigs and government contracts and Senate gigs...
