My mother used to say, "a cat can look at a king", which my father said meant, "hold your head high, and never bow down to anybody." Words to live by. :)

View full threadyes there's a lot of outright personal interest ambition on the Price side colliding with the misogynistic rump of the Liberals. What a mess.
- They can't say what they really mean. Taylor's leadership bid was sunk the moment it was linked to Price because there's no way the racist cohort would tolerate an Indigenous woman in the deputy leader role - not even the Indigenous woman who helped crush the Voice. #auspol
- Not sure about that. She defected from the Nationals to the Liberals last week to run on Taylor’s ticket. #Price didn't tell anyone in Taylor’s camp that she would only run if Taylor won. She has form.
- Price’s May 11 statement made it clear that her deputy leader bid was tied to Taylor’s leadership bid. If the Libs failed to find out whether Price would run as Ley's Deputy, that's on them, not Price. Price has just learned a useful lesson about the racist, sexist Liberal Party. #auspol
- I'm not a fan of Jacinta Nampijinpa Price's politics or her colonial apologist rhetoric, but this framing of Angus Taylor's failed leadership bid is steeped in old power assumptions - that Price's only political value was to serve Taylor's ambition. #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
- "Jacinta Price 'chickened out' and blindsided her new allies. Then she rubbed salt in their wounds"? A toxic rw media trope using loaded language as emotional bait to make a woman of colour the scapegoat for a white man’s political failure. Disgraceful framing that Taylor should condemn. #auspol

- It's not racist to want affordable housing, healthcare, or a living wage - those are universal needs. But 'mass immigration' is a dog whistle that conjures up images of unregulated borders and overwhelming influxes - neither of which reflect reality in countries like the UK or Australia.
- Yes. But Farage isn't just a run-of-the-mill racist. He's like one of the witches from Macbeth, stirring a toxic brew that stokes fear, fuels resentment, and shifts blame onto immigrants. And the poisonous fumes of the brew drift far beyond Britain’s shores, even to places like Australia.
- Let me spell it out for you Jacinta, because you don’t seem to understand. People who voted No did so because you cruelly gave them permission to reject reconciliation. That doesn’t mean No voters like you. And Yes voters are devastated by what you did. You are not popular and you are not a leader.

- The PM's comments in that extract are not a dismissal of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. The Voice was never about power politics, or forcing the government's hand in ways that benefited Indigenous Australians. Power isn’t always about control; sometimes, it's simply about being heard.
