Token political move. If only we could also do the right thing when it's difficult; like telling China to fuck right off.
LOL
Ukraine is not innocent in this war , we are backing the white premises Ukraine
At this stage of the game, I seriously doubt anyone in Russia gives a rat's ass, much less that new 'sanctions ' will make any difference.
Globalist Wong, doing what unelected bureaucrats in Europe want done.
StopHazarzaGenocide
Russia doesn't give a rats about sanctions land and power is what there looking for
😆
Obtuse coward warmongering parasites! Where were you when our kids were dying in warcrimal Howard's illegal wars?
Russian trolls all over this thread. LOL. About all they have.
😴

Penny Wong, Penny wrong. Keep being two-faced in regard to Communism lyingLabor
Lol do they even know 🤣
Thanks Penny, keep those sanctions coming. Australia wants to support Ukraine in any way it can.
No more exporting meat pies and beer. That'll show those Ruskies we mean business
russophobieorg Australians, Give back the lands to native tribes and leave as you came.
Come on Penny you think Mr little dick Putin will take any notice..
Waiting for australian economy to collapse...
Another feather that has now effect dear? How about give the job to a grown up to look after….
What about a few aimed at Israel? They are stealing land and killing innocent children.
Sanctioning Russia for USA blowing up Nord Stream creating one of the biggest environmental disasters.
So what are the outcomes?
Ned to send more Bushmaster armored vehicles (and manufacture more). This is precisely the sort of vehicle required in Ukraine, fast, offroad, can out-maneuver tanks etc. This war is demonstrating that modern war is fought differently, tanks proving to be very vulnerable.
How did shock & awe sanctions turn out for EU? UK Germany in crisis! But Aust govt must obey its autocratic ruler. Russia thanks all western leaders for the new territory Russia tried to avoid, but US UK Brussels refused to enact Minsk & continued killing Ukrainian in Donetsk!
Sounds so ridiculous.
No! you SenatorWong,you and your ideals that's why I've argued we should a referendum not for your voice but to ask the advantage Aussie whether or not we should be involved and sacrifice another generation on a waste of time battlefield when they come knocking is when we strike
Penny Warmonger flexing feebly in the tradition of post WW2 Australian cowardice
Irrelevant Penny Wong trying to be relevant...Pacific Islands 🇨🇳
Just NZ and Canada to go and all 5 Eyes have done what they are told
You must think they won't retaliate in someway and it looks like your spoiling for a fight and when you wreaked a hole heap of family's lives and crowd's of people are breathing down your neck telling you to stop your war you will stop SenatorWong
Aussies supporting Nazis at the behest of the USA.Nobody asked me about giving Ukraine $380,000,000
What an incredibly stupid policy the West is following on Ukraine at the behest of an America that now engages in acts of state terrorism against civilian infrastructure.
The only sustainable future for life on earth is the nuclear de-weaponization of all nations. What a time to be alive though right? We may live long enough to see the world end once and for all.
Here come the bots, here come the bots 🎶
Joe Biden could have prevented all of this before it even began. Sadly though he is a puppet of the deep state and the Industrial Miltary Complex. Australia has no business being involved in a war with Russia.
That's absolutely not enough. That not near a 'strong response' 😕 we need to implement much stronger sanctions, including tourist visa ban! And of course we can - and should! - send more weapons to AFU.
Putin must be so scared now..

But it's also wrong for people frm there using this country as a haven from facing their wrong doings, hiding assets and illegally making 3 people in this country homeless.
