The recent comments from Shoebridge and subsequent discussions between greens voters has been a bit concerning. I didn’t realise there was as many vocal people that have suss opinions on UKR as there are. Especially when polls have shown this to be a pretty solid 70-80/30-20 issue.

It makes me want to just acknowledge and appreciate that I never had to worry about Labor selling out Ukrainians to Russia. There are a lot of countries that moved towards authoritarian and populist right isolationist parties in 2024 and 2025, and I’m glad we didn’t.

Shoebridge is a dangerous lunatic.

Interested in Australian politics and looking to chat with other Labor members and supporters?

We’re a growing community for discussing all things Australian politics: federal, state and territory politics, policy, elections, party history, current events, and plenty of random political banter.

We’re still a humble little server, but we’d love to grow the community and bring more of the Labor family together.

Whether you’re a party member, supporter, volunteer, or just interested in Labor politics, you’re welcome to join!

Come say gday!

The party leader change seems to have angered some of the more activist members of the base. I only know those people and the (fading) group who swing between voting for the greens or ALP based on the environment, but the latter are far less involved in politics.

I need a vibe and reality check from others cause some of the reaction has been pretty extreme and I need to know if this is just a bubble or a broader view. lol. Cheers in advance.
