'Instead we're just going to pretend you don't exist.'
👍👍👍👍
When one group's argument is that they're not being heard/seen there's not really a neutral position. Something which Labor may discover
In spite of my previous comment, I suppose it could be justified as a protection of the LGBTQI+ community, e.g. if it was found to be a very small contingent of the population, the Liberals and conservative media would have an absolute field day with it. Extremely divisive arguments about whether we should care about such a small contingent of the population. In saying that I'm fairly confident that there are more LGBTQI+ people in Australia than "Jews" who the Liberals have been protecting by calling any criticism of Israel "antisemitic".
Note: I have nothing against the Jews, only Israel and it's supporters. Also I'm not saying I necessarily agree with this argument, just thought I'd put it out there
