        @BernardKeane The mob wanted to crucify Jesus 2000 years ago. The mob today are "Christians" & want to do the same thing to refugees.

        @BernardKeane We need moral leadership, not popularity polls in areas of human suffering. Lowest common denominator politics will not do.

        @belungerer @BernardKeane I.e. Leadership is not about responding to the public's basest instincts beyond the need for food, shelter, hope.

        @BernardKeane It's not a nice place we're in. Shorten did what he had to do politcally. That's why Hawke & Keating backed him as leader.

        @BernardKeane Hard to understand...guess most Australians believe that "saving lives"/"they're illegals" is truth instead of disingenuous bs

        @BernardKeane Hewson had polling on hate against Asians so used divide tactics. On 25 Aug 1988 Hawke defended immigration & won 90 election.

        @BernardKeane Yep that's what we need, political no-brainers instead of leadership and articulation of policy based on compassion not fear.
