Freaky that so many voted for the white-fear nativist's motion. There is back-lash.
OK. Just heard the leader of government business in the Senate admit he made an error in
allowing the motion to get up. That feels better, yet the members still voted for it, didn't they.
Scott Morrison, in fear of losing a next weekend by-election in Malcolm Turnbull's old seat of Wentworth, is portraying the Liberal coalition
as being even more far-right than it was when they booted the 'too-liberal for us' Turnbull from the leadership, so from the PM position.

Australia may follow US president Donald Trump’s lead and move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.
Scott Morrison, Australia’s new prime minister, said on Tuesday he was “open to” following the move, describing it as a “sensible” proposal.
Morrison, an evangelical Christian, immediately faced questions about whether his religious views had played a part in his
decision to float the proposal, something he denied. “My faith and religion has nothing to do with this decision,” he said.
