[–] Embargo@lemmy.zip 27 points 22 hours ago (3 children) Penny Wong will watch the U.S. crush the ICC while uttering the quietest "don't" as they do. She is a coward and this is heartbreakingly unsurprising. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago (1 child) Just for reference to other countries- Penny Wong voted against gay marriage multiple times. She is a lesbian and took advantage of our Gay Marriage laws the second they were introduced (long story short- we have Goldman Sachs to thank for those laws, yes really...) but voted against them multiple times. Spineless doesn't even begin to cover it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub 0 points 12 hours ago (1 child) It seems that claim is not really true: https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/penny_wong/policies/1 Besides which, do you want politicians to vote according bro their constituents wishes or according to their own interests? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 child) That's very specifically only counting after Malcolm Turnbull introduced the vote to parliament and forced both Labor and Liberals hands.
