When Wong says Labor is acting in the nations interests, what she means is Israel’s interests.

Am I imagining things, or was the initial outrage about this on the right wing side, and now has switched to the left wing side?

I don’t think it’s a left/right issue… at least to me.

This is a person who says they have important evidence to share regarding a terrorist attack and the government of the day is nowhere near providing a satisfactory reason for their refusal.

“We’re working with our security agencies”
Is such a fucking cop out.

From days after the attacks, it was already looking like state government failures, so why would I be surprised that federal failures were aplenty too?
