If you wish to contact the relevant Minister Tony Burke, as I have done this evening. The contact form is here

I lost the copy of the text, (too much copy/pasting). I spoke about the horrific war crimes alleged against the IDF, and how such allegations demand visa approvals processes have a carefully considered assessment. I acknowledged that every case will be unique, but allegations of abuses, torture, murder or allegedly acting in aid of those crimes should be enough for Australia to determine the person is not currently of ‘good character’ to enter our borders. If we can’t even stand up for the moral value of ‘dont do genocide’ for something so trivial as a marathon then we really are an embarrassingly supine and supplicant state.

We’ve got to grow a backbone and stand steadfast for the, mostly, peaceful values we live our daily lives by in Australia. Stop bowing to the twisted and broken logic of a morally bankrupt state.

Good luck to them 🫡

Hopefully there is a heavy police presence to prevent terrorist attacks from christians or jews or another group that can’t be named

  I can’t tell if this is sarcasm.
  
  The IDF is a terrorist organisation, and I’m glad the media machine has failed to convince the majority of Australians that what they’re doing isn’t a genocide.
  
  I hope people heckle the shit out of them, and shame the event organisers for not uninviting them.
  
  Also, fuck the NSW Police, violent arseholes (as a group).
  
  And especially, fuck the NSW Labor Party for being repressive of political speech, just because they don’t like it.
