I will be voting on other issues

I think Peter Dutton has weaponised antisemitism to divide the community and seek electoral advantage. He hardly has a great record on racism going back to his comments about African gangs, targeting the South Sudanese community in Victoria. But all forms of racism are abhorrent. And the Liberals’ attacks on Jewish Labor MPs Mark Dreyfus and Josh Burns have been despicable. Moreover, I will be voting on other issues, such as my fears about Peter Dutton’s planned slashing of the Federal public service and his adoption of a pro nuclear stance to supposedly address energy issues.
Having said that I would never vote Green either as they have weaponised the Gaza conflict also.
