Labor should 'think carefully' about national security laws in wake of AFP raids, MP saysLabor MPs urge their party to take a more rigorous and strident approach to national security laws in the wake of this week's AFP raids. Oh the hypocrisy from the ABC is vomit worthy. The ABC on the LNP ,,, !!!!!! NAZI's !!!!!! The ABC on Labor ,,, the Labor Party must take a more rigorous look at these laws. Vomit on vomit from the ABC. You are only saying this because you got raided by the same government goons you kept praising and lying about their policies being somehow so credible & that only they could save us from nasty ALP. Your credibility is in the gutter right now. Don't feel so good now, do you? So some Labor MPs have demanded that the opposition act in a manner consistent with that which is expected of oppositions? Are they suggesting that the current Labor leadership group have failed to do this in the past. Did they really just kick an own goal and get away with it?🤣

That would explain why that huge hippie commune called Singapore is doing so well.🙄😉 Innes Willox's comments are full of contradictions, speculation and obvious bias. What actual evidence can be presented, rather than just the opinion of yet another former journalist? Ethics
