Yeah, this slogan is derivative of the classic "My body, my choice", but I don't see a problem with that. It's alluding to the those themes of autonomy and rights, in a different context.

Can you please share links to China's homelessness statistics? Maybe my search engine is junk because I'm struggling to find any information later than 2011 (before some of the efforts to reduce it).

It would be great if we had laws which stopped people from doing that (both our own citizens and foreign). I want landleeches to scatter from here just like they did from China. No home for house hoarders.

Who was our best Prime Minister and why?

It’s illegal to support a terrorist organisation, not to support Palestine/Lebanon etc. those are two different things, cheers.

Yes, they're two different things. I brought it up because there are plenty of people there too who are openly in defense of Hamas and Hezbollah, even handing out pamphlets in support of them. The only real legal suppression I'm aware of is over people flying Hezbollah flags in the past month (the symbolism you mention).

The law is tricky but basically either pushing for terrorist acts, or displaying designated terrorist symbolism, or provide support to a terrorist organisation.

Which are not particularly relevant to the situation of aussie.zone federating with lemmy.ml. Them writing posts which side with Hamas or Hezbollah isn't violating those laws.

So supporting terrorist organisations isn’t against australian law? Hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation and advocating for them is therefore banned under australian law.

Hi! I go to pro-Palestine/Lebanon/etc. protests on the weekends here (among other things) and can confirm for you that publicly declaring approval of designated national enemies is not illegal. It would be pretty absurd for a liberal democracy like Australia to do so. Please don't invent laws to pressure our admins.

Don't be an ignorant troll, comrade. That's clearly not what they were talking about.

Yeah, dismal job from the ABC this time. If you want a better account with quotes, there was one shared here.

it seems to just be a constant drama among everyone, is it not?

Correct, it is not. That isn't close to constant nor everyone.

i want to block the whole instance

The thousands of users necessarily affected are far more important than up to five admins being hypocrites and jerks when it comes to specific political topics.

Ultimately I think aussie.zone users should be the most serious consideration, and as admin Nath said, users here who disapprove can easily block their admins or their instance at will.
