Senator Shoebridge asks whether F-35 fighter parts are sent to Israel. Senator Wong gives her weasel words line about “contributing components that are non-lethal in nature”. So sounds like a yes. #GazaGenocide #auspol #QT

Wong, Albo and Labour are pathetic. No morals, just in it for themselves. So disheartening.

Judging by the voting intentions last election most 🇦🇺 voters don't want to be this type of country. Proceed at your peril Labor. There's always the next election ⏳️ 💣 🇦🇺Nioa arms dealer is courting Trump, his children with weapons and the dead animals they hunt together. 🤬 alpha male pussies.

So Senator Wong, would that F-35 be able to fly and drop bombs on people without our “non lethal” components? It’s like saying the pin on a hand grenade is non lethal. Just embarrassing stuff from Wong.

Non lethal - that a component is benign. A product with a component that will kill - is designed, marketed & installed - with that purpose - intentionally. Endorsing such a product gives agency to the end game - literally in this scenario - is complicity.

In the absence of a gun, even bullets could be described as non-lethal. Penny Wong draws a very long bow (lethal).

The whole time she watched Morrison thinking, "That shit stained, coal rubbing, Pentecostal marketing works. Noted." They all did. The Australian Labour Party took note. Scrutiny, FOI revoked, violent crackdown on protesters, more fossil fuel extraction, arms supply etc etc What have we become?

Dave @musodave.bsky.social

I supply a non lethal part to the Bushmasters. I supply the plastic knob that’s used as the heater control. True story, but I don’t think any parts in a fighter jet are not critical to the functioning of a jet designed to kill. You don’t put any extra weight in a plane unless it has a reason.

What will Wong say when she's countered with the incontrovertible fact "the F35 killing machine can't fly or kill without Australian components", the minute someone tells her this to her face she's finished, dead wood,a lame duck. Penny Wong's looking tired isn't she?

She is lying. That said, it is a very common lie that workers in weapons factories are both told and tell themselves: “oh MY part of the process doesn’t kill people”. Back in the 90s i read a US study of nuclear-weapons workers who loterslly saod those things. Stuck with me. Compartmentalisation.
