Naturally the country has the parallel to our right wing which finds the authoritarian politics of china and russia to be more enticing.

If you got the time have a listen to Elisa Barwick and Craig Isherwood talk, they're sensible centrist's not fringe dwelling looneys.
I'm sick to death of this idea that only the left or the right can have good policies, it's obstructionist thinking that doesn't deliver good outcomes.
What the hell is wrong with being friendly with China anyway?... which is something they discuss, have a listen 
Right what's wrong with aligning with a political party that solidified its power through terror and the killing of 50+ million Chinese?

The more China expands its influence in the region, the more it will seek to bend countries behest to it - to its will.

That's ancient history. That's like saying people should never align themselves with the US because we once used nuclear weapons on Japan.
If it was 50 million Japanese they had killed it wouldn't even be as bad as what they did to their own countrymen (considering the toll of WW2 on them) - it's unequivocal.
The party that initiated it is the one still in power, and still follows the same ideology.

The more China expands its influence in the region, the more it will seek to bend countries behest to it - to its will.
Little known fact: Chinese communists invented violent revolution and the concept of geopolitics. That’s why they continue to wage wars like madmen all over the planet, killing millions of innocent people for no other reason than to stem the spread of an ideology hostile to theirs.
Their power is still rising - I would look at how they treat their own to get an idea of how they will treat others when they are able to.

Ukraine is preparing a law on full control over the media, as the last vestiges of press freedom disappear in Kiev
Looking forward to reading your outrage about this 
I admit its funny, Russia trying to generate outrage in regards to media laws which would resemble their own.
I've never made the point that they have no issues, domestically - etc.. alot of the Eastern Bloc still does. Nothing nearly bad enough to justify an invasion though.

The invasion has zero to do with internal issues.
Tell me then, how many sites are banned in Ukraine vs Russia
and oh really? I thought it was to get rid of nazis
but please don't pretend that now you care about freedom of the press lmao.

I don't know how much I'd consider a lot of those parties 'rivals' - almost none of them held a single seat in the legislature.
They were banned based on some forms of evidence of collaboration with the local government coups in the east, or other forms of collaboration. I didn't really review any of those cases but yeah.

Proud of y’all.
Yeah this Federal Labor government does seem to have some morals. The last Conservative government had none, zero, nil.
Support for recognising West Jerusalem as the capital came 5 days before a crucial by-election in which the Conservatives had high profile Jewish candidate Dave Sharma running in an electorate with a sizeable Jewish population 
Thankfully he was beaten BY AN INDEPENDENT these little wins illustrate why our electoral system rocks 
He's not even Jewish tho
You should prob get your facts straight

I wasn't the only one fooled though, Sharma is about as pro Israel as you can get in Aus, he was spokesperson for Israeli companies, was also the former ambassador to Israel, and caused drama's for the conservatives for sticking his nose into Israel's business whilst ambassador.
Maybe all that had something to do with running him in an electorate with a sizeable Jewish population don't you think?
Who cares tho is the question, christian zealots are more interested in fulfilling the prophecies than jewish diaspora I can tell you that
replace your focus on an ethnicity with any other and you realize how problematic it is... they're like .6% of the population but they got you bordering on anti antisemitism just like that

And like I said it has little to do with ethnicity - especially not Jewish diaspora - and much more to do with conservative dogma

And who would get kicked out of that land? at least they have a legitimate claim, even if very far removed to Israel. Sadly, at that point - the people who were driven to that level of desperation did not care much who they fucked over in making space for themselves, they had no trust left for the rest of the world - and not without good reason. It was, for many of them - a fairly literal fight for the survival of their people.
And I doubt many Holocaust surviving Jews wanted anything to do with Europe for the time being.
There was only two real major options; move to the US and hope major spikes of antisemitism don't happen every 60-100 years like they did in European history, or try and claim Israel. (of course there's plenty that chose something else but 80-90% are in one of the two countries)
My family moved out from Eastern Ukraine in the 1920s - but some of them remained in Poland etc, through WW2 and lived through death camps - their distrust of the European order after that was so extremely high that they wanted to get as far as they possibly could, which for them was in the US.
As to reducing anti-semitism I honestly hardly see any inroads to that, it seems to be the most 'enlightened' form of racism for people to adopt that they're informed enough to know that 'Jews rule the world' - well just the 'bad jews' but well, we can't tell them apart so all Jews at that, oops here we are again! Don't know how many dumb hicks & nazis I punched in the face in Idaho over their overt antisemitism that was the most accepted form of hatred in the area. Like kids asking me why I killed Jesus every other week in elementry school
None of it excuses how things turned out in Israel - but you know, there is a strong and understandable why to it, if you put yourself in their shoes.

Just look at the fucking dumb Kanye thing going on right now - I don't know the deets but it seemed like he just said some hella anti semetic shit and all these - hate to use the word - woke mothafuckers are all like 'Well yee he just sayin the truth that we all be afraid to say, but its the truth!!'
Especially fucking sucks to hear from black people, because my family worked so hard in the 50s/60s side by side in the streets of Detroit to fight for better civil rights.. only for a lot of the community to turn around and see them as the enemy and cause of their strife.

The whole thing really picked up steam when the plague really hit europe hard in the 1200-1300s, and the infection rate was significantly lower amongst Jewish communities in Europe (who practiced ritualized hand washing) - and all the sudden it became child sacrifices and poisoning of the wells - and when that shit picked up steam in that environment, it just never stopped.

How efficient do you think it would be to buy an apple that was grown in the US that had to be shipped 9,400 miles?
Seems like you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how such economies could efficiently function in relation to one another.
You act like we forced this on your country, when it was your country that is requesting it as a means of having some geopolitical strength in the region and not just being used by China as an economic plaything.
