"Australia PM condemns graffiti attack on US consulate in Sydney"

"The building in the northern suburbs of Australia's largest city was attacked and sprayed with paint by a person carrying a small sledgehammer at around 3 a.m. local time on Monday."

====

Has the Australian PM been equally assiduous in condemning attacks on Indian consulates?

[Vayutuvan]

Were any Indian consulates AKA High Commissions attacked in Australia?

Brisbane 2023, I believe.

I see. Quite recent. Thanks.

I was doing my job as a journalist in India. Modi's government didn’t like it Its Avani Das. Remember her?

[Vayutuvan]

Comments are turned off. Talk about muzzling vox populi.

[rahulm]

Adani Dias along with a few others of her ilk at the ABC have gone full monty. The long arm of the Indian state is reaching Australians and threatening national security.

Seems like a flank on the orders of their master the US to support their puppy in Kanneda to subvert the M 3.0 mandate. Wait for the EU with Germany and the Scandinavians to join in.

Is this woman on X? Since we cannot comment on the ABC site, we should the needful there on Twitter.

Here you go Twitter

[Pratyush]

Guys, leave people like her alone. They are seeking engagement on twitter in order to boost her oppressed status. Nothing that you are going to say is going to change her mind. However well reasoned and articulated it might be.

In other words don't feed the trolls.

Disagree. She needs to be thoroughly rebutted and discredited.

How to factually rebut the accusations of such piece. Essentially we are left trying to defend

When will you stop beating your wife type type hit pieces that seem to emerging globally targeting the hindu community and religion as oppressive? And making it's adherents ashamed.

Infiltrating Australia

The long arm of the Indian state in Australia. Avani Dias reveals new details about the local "nest of spies" previously disrupted by ASIO and meets Australian residents who say they've been threatened by India's authorities.

The MO is Khalistani=Sikh=Minority Persecution ergo all Sikhs are in danger. The usual divide play book. Did they interview any Sikhs who are against this divisive Khalistani nonsense.

A counter punch to this would be for an Indian news outlet to do a 12 part documentary on the plight and state of the aboriginals of Australia, their horrible living conditions, life expectancy, living conditions, poverty. There is plenty here if a news channel wants to take it up.Then translate it into all Indian languages, German, Finnish, Czech, Russian etc etc

So they want to demonise Hindus. OK let's play. Create a "Research Group" to study the relationship between the riches of all denominations of Australian Churches, their present land holdings and wealth and create a formula to causally link it to the historical dispossession and slaughter of Abroginals. Then, shame the average suburban patrons of said Churches and create a link between the plight of the Aboriginals in Australia and the Sunday service. Hammer that message every Sunday with protesting aboriginals at services. There are enough disaffected aboriginals to co-opt. Let's see how that one goes.

[rahulm]

Thus far Australian politics has remained mostly free of the divisive peaceful vote bank politics but that has now just changed big time. LABOR Senator Fatima Payman, crossed the floor (to the Greens) in relation to Palestine and defined the LABOR party line. She then pronounced on national TV that she would do it again for the Palestinian cause.

Labor relies on beacefool votes from certain beaceful heavy electorates. Motorham is Afghan born refugee - she fled the Taliban.

The traditional penalty for crossing the floor has ben expulsion from the party but Albanese has instead only chosen to exclude her from the caucus but not expel her from the Labor caucus. I think beaceful have just staked out, marked and shown their electoral teeth in Australian politics. This has the potential to charge and change aussie politics forever.

Read it here Fatima Payman was excluded from Labor caucus over her support for a Palestinian state but she has won an unlikely ally

[rahulm]

Well, Well didnt take long for it to happen.

A public statement about the formal consolidation of beacefool votes in a beacefool vote bank. It was inevitable. Oz had a good ride until now and from here on politics will never be the same again. Read it all.

'Teal-style' Muslim political group to target Labor seats, open to working with Fatima Payman

A spokesperson for The Muslim Vote told the ABC the "grassroots" campaign group had been formed from a desire to "mobilise the Muslim community to vote as a bloc in the next federal election, predominantly on the issue of justice in Palestine."

The spokesperson, who declined to give his name, said the collective had over 2,000 volunteers and was in the process of choosing candidates to endorse in several Labor-held seats in western Sydney.

It is the first time that the Muslim community has realised that their vote does matter.

Mr Hawila said many in the Muslim community had voted for Labor "generation after generation. This is the first time they've said this is enough, you guys no longer represent us."

The spokesperson for The Muslim Vote said Labor risked "driving a wedge" by suspending Senator Payman.

The threats begin.

[rahulm]

The penny drops and Motorham Fatime resigns from the Labor party , becomes an independent- creating, what I think will turn out be an irreversible seismic shift in aussie politics - a one way ticket to the maturing of beacefool identify vote bank.

The grand Hajam peer baba of Australian kirket, Hazrat Usman Kwaja Aussie kirket player of Paki ancestry has come out of his pavilion screaming "Islamophobia". How much does anyone want to bet Hazrat Kwaja will join politics ?



The victim hood wailing has started. Wait till Soros et al get to he then he repertoire of issues will expand beyond Gaza = to scream about India?

[rahulm]

https://themuslimvote.com.au

The website.

The largest Muslim political campaign ever set up in the history of the Australian Muslim community.

The Muslim Vote is dedicated to empowering Australian Muslims in the electoral process.

The website rates individual politicians based on support to Palestinian among others.

The next Federal election signals a shift. We will no longer accept being taken for granted. Australian Muslims are a powerful, united force of nearly 1 million acting in unison. The Muslim Vote alone is capable of forcing the current government into minority government. In 2024, we are focused on Federal seats where the Muslim vote can influence the outcome.

For the first time, the Muslim community has united and is acting as one at the ballot box. And we’ve come well-prepared and are already making a difference.

We are guided by the ethical and moral framework of Islam. Our values and principles are not just abstract concepts but are integral to who we are and how we live our lives. We do not shy away from our faith; instead, we draw strength from it.

One of the key seats targeted is Parramatta which also has one of the highest. maybe the highest % of Indians. Harris Park, the next door suburb is officially known as Little India. . The will likely end badly for the Indian's in these areas in the next decade or so.

[vish_mulay]

Only saving grace, I hope, is the mandatory voting making sure that the minority block voting doesn’t sway election decisively.

[rahulm]

Only saving grace, I hope, is the mandatory voting making sure that the minority block voting doesn’t sway election decisively.

I so wish I could share your optimism.I dont know any better than anybody else, maybe "She'll be right mate" but I I feel aussie politics which has largely remained immune so far, will move to Islamic focusssed identity politics e.g. like in UkStan faster than newtons falling stone under the influence of gravity.I meet many desi's who have drunk the Kool-aid and whose aspirational benchmarks are to get gora brownie points even if that means dissing on India. I accept this is anecdotal but spider sense tingles. The best I can hope for is maybe they are doing an "Al-taqqiya" and will vote differently at the hustings.

I can bet you a plastic AUD 20 note that it will not take long for the repertoire of victim issues to expand from Palestine to include India. They will leave out the Uyghurs, of course.

There are industries here where beacefools have large representation e.g. small and medium construction, some aspects of logistics where they intersect with some Khalistanis.

I forsee much trouble in Australia from here on and getting worse, a coming together of beacefool and Khalistani forces with support from the Greens and left/far left cheerled by the ABC and Adam Brandt. We do know who the deputy leader of the Greens is no? Well its Motorham Mehreen Faruqi. (Hint - Motorham Mehreen is Paki born and has an established track record of anti jewish statements and acts in Parliament and in her rantings. Hew long before call from ISI and she includes ebil fascist baniyas?). I hope I am wrong but beacefools have yet never disappointed in any part of the world once they organise and come together.

The next Federal election once Albo calls it and all thereafter promise to be seminally polarising.

Oh well Australia, we had a superb run so far.

Most likely Motorham Fatime will be used and discarded by the Islamist parties once she has served her purpose.

Jillian Segal is first Australian anti-Semitism envoy

It's getting bad that Oz has to have a special envoy for anti-semitism and

The government will also shortly appoint an envoy on Islamophobia.

How a Gaza 'stunt' divided Australia's parliament
Hannah Ritchie, BBC News, Sydney, 1 July 2024
When Fatima Payman crossed the Senate floor to vote against her government she knew it would come with consequences.
The Australian Labor party has strict penalties for those who undermine its collective positions, and acts of defiance can lead to expulsion - a precedent with a 130-year history.
The last time one of its politicians tested the waters while in power was before Ms Payman was born.
But last Tuesday, the 29-year-old did just that - joining the Greens party and independent senators to support a motion on Palestinian statehood.
Officially the Australian government supports a two-state solution, but did not back the motion after trying - and failing - to insert a condition that any recognition should be “as part of a peace process”.
Within hours, Ms Payman had been temporarily suspended from her party room, by the end of the week it would become indefinite - after she publicly vowed to cross the floor again if given the opportunity.
"By her own actions and statements, Senator Payman has placed herself outside the privilege that comes with participating in the federal parliamentary Labor Party caucus," a government spokesperson said.
Prime Minister and Labor leader Anthony Albanese was more concise: “No individual is bigger than the team.”
On Monday, Ms Payman responded by saying she had been "exiled" – explaining that she had been removed from caucus meetings, group chats and all committees.
The dismissal of the senator, elected in what was billed as Australia’s most diverse parliament to date, has drawn a mixed response and raised questions - mainly, whether it’s practical or fair for politicians to toe the line on issues affecting their communities.

Rebel with a cause: inside the moment Fatima Payman quit the Labor party
Daniel Hurst and Sarah Basford Canales,Thu, 4 Jul 2024
At 1.57pm – just three minutes before the Australian parliament’s final question time before the winter recess – journalists’ phones pinged with a hotly anticipated media alert.
“Please be advised that at 2:05pm today I will be making a statement at Mural Hall. See you there,” said the text message.
It was signed: “Senator Fatima Payman.”
The first-term senator from Western Australia had been widely tipped to quit the Labor party after a massive rupture with her own government over the Israeli assault on Gaza and the government’s refusal to immediately recognise Palestine as a state.
Still, the sudden press alert sent the media into a frenzy. Photographers who had been waiting in the red chamber for Senate question time rushed to join the media scrum on the second floor in the heart of Parliament House.
For days, calls to Payman’s electorate office in WA and her parliamentary office in Canberra were going straight to voicemail, after the 29-year-old was indefinitely suspended from the Labor caucus for threatening to cross the floor again. On Monday, she complained that she had felt the party had forced her into “exile”.
On Thursday, after weighing her future, Payman had found her voice. Australia’s first-ever hijab-wearing senator – whose family fled the Taliban in Afghanistan when she was a young child – informed the waiting press that she had made her decision with a heavy heart but a clear conscience.
“My family did not flee from a war-torn country to come here as refugees for me to remain silent when I see atrocities inflicted on innocent people,” the former WA Young Labor president said, resolute as the glare of the TV lights shone on her.
“Witnessing our government’s indifference to the greatest injustice of our times makes me question the direction the party is taking.”

Australia looks to be inexorably moving to "catch up" with the rest of the world in the Ummah emerging as a voting block. While the total % of Ummah-wallas is < 2% of population, there are a few electorates where they are ~ 35% of the population. These suburbs arewhere we will see the emergence of this Ummah vote bank influence eventually evolving to the highest state of bliss and peace like His Majesty's Bradfordistan and Birmingham from the mother country.

Mean-e-while Albo is a headless chook. He just did the ruffle-e-shuffles of his Cabinet and now we have

Peter Khalil will take on the role as Special Envoy for Social Cohesion [WTF is this?], with a promise an announcement on a special envoy to combat Islamophobia will come in due course.

BTW, Khalil is a Coptic from Egypt. Let's see who is appointed as special envoy to combat Islamophobia , I propose the person should be Buddhist and why not - when Special Envoy for Social Cohesion[ can be Coptic? True DEI in action.

This whole thing is getting pretty ridiculous.

More here Albo does the ruffle-e-shuffles

UN 'Global Expert' Aftab Malik named Islamophobia envoy, after Imam Council warnings over delay

A special envoy to combat Islamophobia has been appointed by the federal government, months after it named Australia's first anti-Semitism envoy.

Aftab Malik, a United Nations Alliance of Civilisations "Global Expert" on Muslim affairs, has been named as the government's Islamophobia envoy.

Mr Malik was born in Britain to Pakistani parents and migrated to Australia in 2012 when he was invited by the Lebanese Muslim Association to work as a scholar in residence to teach and mentor young Muslims in Sydney's western suburbs.

So now Oz has envoy for anti-semitism and Islamophobia.

Muslim leaders set deadline for Islamophobia envoy, months after anti-Semitism envoy appointed

^^ How about an envoy to monitor "Hatred Against Non-believers by Abrahamic Faiths" and delete verses that curse non-believers to hell fire and mandate their destruction?

Rahul ji,


Best to put some visible coolness into the relationship


Reduce bilateral trade on import orders on goods that matter to them, and that too, in a manner that registers on them immediately


when asked, casually brush off all aussie concerns but continue to ramp down "trade", along with some ambiguous comments on QUAD and the cheenis should set the cat among the pigeons


nothing like a "gentle" kick to the testimonials to bring in the required equilibrium on misbehaving "so called friends"

Motorham Fatima launches politicall party in Australia without any policies

Remember Motorham Fatima?

Ex-Labor senator Fatima Payman has launched a new political party with no policy positions and which will not require candidates to oppose the war in Gaza, the issue that saw her join the crossbench.

The Western Australian politician said her party, called Australia's Voice, would offer "something different" to voters who felt "left behind" by the major parties.

The senator declined to identify any specific issues her party would campaign on, saying that would come "in time".

But she suggested her own advocacy on negative gearing, aged care, child care, schools funding and First Nations issues could be areas for further exploration.

rahulm ji,

dollars to doughnuts, there is an evil and malevolent soreass like figure grimly lurking in the background, all ready with the bucks and just waiting for the right moment to make a silent entry

The deal with the devil has already been inked

"First Nations issues" is an adapted dalit like agenda, with an inbuilt narrative that has already gained some woke traction, a toolkit that these divisive forces plan to impose, divide, and derail, will be used on the general population, while subtly and subliminally suggesting that $h@r!@ is not really that bad an option after all

A vast and resource rich continent like a totally subverted australia is their grand prize

Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe, known for her fierce opposition to the monarchy, shouted anti-colonial slogans at King Charles during his visit to the Australian parliament on Monday.


Canberra: Oct 21, 2024

Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe shouted anti-colonial slogans at King Charles during his visit to the Australian parliament on Monday, shocking assembled lawmakers and other dignitaries.

"Give us our land back! Give us what you stole from us!" Thorpe screamed in an almost minute-long diatribe, after the 75-year-old king's speech.

"This is not your land, you are not my king," the independent lawmaker said, decrying what she described as a "genocide" of Indigenous Australians by European settlers.
