Kabbaway<a href="https://aus.social/@aby" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@aby</a> A NSW-specific example that has come up this week - the newspaper Newcastle Herald has promoted three Trumpet of Patriots ads. The latest, a transmisic one, received a lot of backlash and was RIGHTFULLY removed within hours and a formal apology was given. However the other two, vilifying immigrants and First Nations people, are still up and very few people have made similar demands for them to be removed. An article in The Conversation said this about the transmisic ad: “All that had to be done was to substitute race or skin colour for gender and ask: would we publish such an advertisement?”. It goes on to acknowledge the racist/xenophobic ads BUT by downplaying them: “Race is clearly an undertone in both of these, but they are directed at practices and policies, not at people’s personal attributes. In this way, they are categorically different from the ad about gender.” Like, what the fuck? BIPOC “practices and policies” being targeted IS because of “personal attributes” ie attributes of birth (eg race, nationality, skin colour) AS QUOTED EARLIER IN THE VERY SAME ARTICLE. How can the author not recognise the insidious appeal to semantics/plausible deniability they are falling into? Was it not enough to use these two examples as further evidence of Trumpet of Patriots’ blanket bigotry and threat to human rights in so-called Australia?The lack of enthusiasm to call out racism/xenophobia in comparison to transmisia is very disappointing. This extremist political party’s racist ads were allowed to be promoted and distributed over the weekend with minimal backlash, until they started targeting a white-majority demographic. Obviously trans and gender diverse people need support right now, but so do people of colour, especially Indigenous people. Not to mention there are trans BIPOC, so to me it’s obvious that intersectionality in activism is crucial. That’s what it means to truly stand together in solidarity.🔗<a href="https://theconversation.com/newspapers-cannot-justify-running-clive-palmers-trumpet-of-patriots-ads-as-freedom-of-speech-252024" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/newspapers-cannot-justify-running-clive-palmers-trumpet-of-patriots-ads-as-freedom-of-speech-252024</a><a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AusPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ClivePalmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClivePalmer</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TrumpetOfPatriots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrumpetOfPatriots</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Racism</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transphobia</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Transmisia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transmisia</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Xenophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xenophobia</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NewcastleHerald" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewcastleHerald</a>

For the federal senate there are often dozens of parties running, often over a hundred candidates in total, and usually half of them are borderline Nazis, but they don't cooperate with each other and their voters do the bare minimum to fill out the ballot, so none of the nuts get elected.It is possible to waste a vote, you can pick your favourite and a second choice and third, etc. but if NONE of the candidates you pick have a chance then the vote does get wasted. I number every party that I hate less than the Liberals, then just ignore all the squabbling Nazis.It sounds complex but if you just vote for what you actually want and at least one of the popular parties then Australian <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PreferentialVoting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PreferentialVoting</a> is designed very well to reflect what you wanted.
