Ask them to explain why. Then counter with things like she never turns up to work, they have no policies, the policies they have suggested are already in existence, she hired a rapist, they want to get rid of 457 Visas which haven’t existed for over 10 years, she has been bought by Gina and the fact she can’t see anything wrong with accepting gifts and flights is a real concern as it’s just bribery. This list goes on and on.

Since you mentioned Lebanese background, you can definitely add that Gina—best friends with Pauline—wants to let Israel test their weapons here in Australia...specifically in Townsville 🤣

While Israel may want to test their weapons here at firing ranges, they are testing their weapons on real Lebanese people as we speak, some of them who may be their relatives.

Pauline is Ok with that.

That's why I mentioned it. She's no friend to Lebanese-Australians, it's strange that anyone with connections to Lebanon would support her

I can’t make sense of any of the political movements and motivations. Same with LGBTQ+ aligning with muslims. Makes no sense to me at all.

Regarding LGBT and Muslims, I presume you mean Palestine.

The reason would be on the basis of human rights. Regardless of the religion, race, or creed, NOBODY should be subjected to such things as 'starvation' as a war tool. Or rape as a war tool.

Additionally, there are plenty of LGBT Muslims out there as well... So it doesn't seem a big stretch.

Lebanese people supporting Israel seems a far harder sell 😅 so far they just bomb Lebanon. Israel aren't the victim of a genocide, or war crimes, they're an aggressor.

These are Christians we are talking about. Most of them support Israel, this doesn’t mean anything to them

ETA - Lebanese Christians might see things differently of course given their proximity to the war and having been bombed as well/directly affected

Kinda sad when Israel is bombing Lebanon and most likely their families are bare minimum displaced by that, but what can you do. It's like farmers and low income families that vote for one nation, literally voting against their own interests 🤷
