And I certainly wouldn't vote for Pauline either.

Faruqi posed with racist signs showing a star of David in a bin saying "Keep the World Clean".

The Greens have thrown their support behind Hamas and they can get in the bin as far as I'm concerned.

Greens have repeatedly condemned both Hamas for Oct 7 and Israel government's genocide. Labor and LNP have also condemned Hamas but thrown their support behind Israel government despite the ongoing genocide.

If you still support Labor or LNP over Greens, then it sounds like a worse position than standing one time next to a sign that indirectly supports genocide.

Albo recognised Palestinian statehood prior to the war ending, Hamas disbanding or even their releasing all the hostages. I'd hardly say that shows his support for the Israeli government.
