“This highlights what is pissing off most average aussies right now” – nah, I can think of a good chunk of things that are pissing off Australians and this barely makes the list.
E
Yup. Nonsense cultural war issues are definitely more important to me than ever being able to afford a home /s
B
Oh, for sure, there’s a LOT of things pissing off average aussies, and cost of living/housing is definitely number 1, but seeing posts like this, in a time where our country is so divided, if you can’t see this was a dumb move from him, or more to the point, the team in his office, well, I can’t help you.
T
cry harder
B
Nah, I just enjoy seeing how crazy some of you are, that you can’t see whats right in front of you.
O
For gods sake get a grip. You are not oppressed because Albo sent a nice message to Australian Muslims.
B
Its not about who is and isnt oppressed, its about equality. Treat us all equally. That will solve SO much of this BS. As PM, every single thing he does or says, will be analysed. And his party and its members. If they truly want to see a multi cultural society where all are welcome, this is the first step. Parents don’t play favourites amongst the kids. BOTH of our political parties have forgotten this. They either commit to this, or, end it.
M
There isn’t special shoutouts given in a Christian context, because it’s been the most prevalent religion here in the first place here. Him posting this is less about ensuring he’s made a cute post for everyone’s individual religious days (sure, it might have a nice effect that way as a byproduct), and more so that it signals an acceptance of diversity and multiculturalism to a group that is made to feel unwelcome here pretty frequently. What we’re all trying to tell you is, there are plenty of valid reasons to have the shits with Albo currently, but making mountains out of molehills distracts from the actual points, like…Banning protests…or bringing in hate speech laws in no citizens asked for…or allowing other governments to spy on us…Or…bringing in terrible leaders for tours or…The list goes on.
B
Nice reply, seriously, respect. But this is out about 1 specific issue, we could make a post about EVERYTHING, but to shit on one post as its not what concerns you the most, yeah. I think its important to hold them to account for ANYTHING we see. We only get 1 day every 3-4 years to exercise our democracy.
M
Fair, I can’t and shouldn’t influence what’s important to you. I guess the sad reality is though, I don’t see any of the contending parties meeting that request of posting for every religious occasion. I know if you vote for one of the extreme right parties you will get your wish, but at the expense of them ignoring non christian occasions such as ramadan. It’s bleak but that’s just how I see it happening.
G
Mate, you’re the one dividing the country by whinging & crying about a statement that’s not for you. Go outside, it has literally zero affect on your life
C
This is why I rather no comments at all from the Gov.. you can’t make everyone happy it’s always ‘what about me’..
S
I can’t stand religion in politics. I didn’t really need the last two words.
M
Section 116 of the Constitution: > The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion.. We do not have a state religion, however we also should not impede any free exercise of religion. Given that many people are religious and come from religious communities, a free and tolerant society should welcome and respect people of all faiths. It is common decency to recognise and acknowledge those traditions, in the same way you wish people “Merry Christmas” and literally have a day off to celebrate it. We can do the same for other religious communities. Unless you’re saying religious freedom for me, but not for thee?
O
Sometimes selective messaging from Government is deliberate and intentional. Remember that Labor MP who posted a Happy Republic Day for India on their socials the day before Australia Day? And people defended it as “she’ll be posting an Australia Day message tomorrow, on the actual day – nothing to worry about, she’s just acknowledging a portion of her constituents”. Well, that Labor MP never posted any Australia Day message or celebration post. The absence of which says a lot. Not acknowledging Australia Day was a deliberate action and a protest against that day. Governments have marketing and PR experts, so they are well aware that by saying one thing and not saying another they are sending a deliberate message to the public, and it’s a message that they chose to send and want heard..
A
Exactly. This long winded wank he’s posted is just to signal his views to the Muslim community under the guise of a Ramadan message. He couldn’t openly say anything about the incidents involving Muslims in the recent weeks so he’s just doing it through this message. It’s coded with messages about practicing their faith in public and the entire Palestine issue that Muslims have been protesting about.
D
Easy, Christian Australians did not actively vote for Albo as much as Indians and Arab, simple last year statistics from Sydney, Paramatta 95% like Chechnya in Russia voting for Putin.
P
Ramadan is the equivalent to Christmas to Muslims so of course its gets mentioned. The equivalent to Lent to Muslim would be something like Mawlid, which was also not acknowledged.
T
and there’s the mic drop
R
>Ramadan is the equivalent to Christmas to Muslims so of course its gets mentioned Yes, because cultural erasure is a one-way street. But Ramadan is an annual proof that Islam is not divine. The divine rules of Ramadan are impossible to follow above the arctic circle where the sun does not set in summer so people has to rely on **man made rules**. Muhammad’s God, who should have known better, assumed that the earth was flat. If you follow Islamic scriptures in such places the mortality rate is 100%. Where I’m from, the entire sun can be seen 24 hours a day in the summer. The sun is a daily reminder that Islam is not true.
P
Bro I am not Muslim, I’m Christian, my family and most Christian I knew barely celebrates Lent, let alone fasting. and it’s not about beliefs or wrong or right, it’s about respect.
L
Most average Australians wouldn’t even know its lent. Perhaps the OP can go 45 days without feeling the victim ?
E
To be fair most Australians wouldn’t know it’s Ramadan either
V
I guarantee more won’t know about Ramadan
L
Chances are most wouldnt even know when Australia day was if they weren’t following a Labor or Greens candidate so they can get outraged over something
T
I actually knew it was Ramandan but had no idea it was Lent until this post. I’d argue the majority of people wouldnt realise it was either. Where is the lunar new year message ?
A
He posted a video with a Lunar New Year message yesterday.
T
I must have missed the forced outrage from Christian lobbyists yesterday 🤣
I
Easter, Christmas as public holidays. Do Christians want a letter from the king?
M
I want 40 days off work a year.
S
Only cookers like yourself can get angry and feel divided by reading a message like that. Keep cookin bud.

As someone about to go to Mass… It really is a non-issue. I stand with my Muslim and Jewish brothers and sisters in peace… so long as they don’t support ISIS or the IDF …
R
Have a discussion with those Muslim brothers and sisters and see how they feel about hamas. Plenty of support from your ‘moderate’ Muslims. You’re a fool
A
Nah don’t tell him. There’s a high chance they think his lifestyle is haram and that his religion makes him an infidel but best not tell him 🤭
O
Yeah I get what you’re saying, but it’s not a one size fits all scenario, and a lot of issues could be solved if we checked Imans for links with Isis and other groups

Leave your fucking hate in your old country
O
The same IDF that bulldozed Anzac graves is crazy
I
The same IDF that advised that Hamas used the cemetery and the ANZAC graves to hide the weapons and as an access shaft into their tunnels. They also confirmed the cemetery will be reinstated. There are cemeteries of ANZAC in Israel and they are being looked after. ANZAC day is celebrated in Israel annually. So stfu dumb cunt promoting Hamas propaganda

If you consider yourself “in Christ” as a catholic, then I suggest you go find any podcast with Wes Huff in it. Shaun Ryan just did an amazing one with him and he explains how the Muslim is not your brother even when you treat them as one. They do not serve the same God and they don’t believe Jesus was God incarnate. Wes Huff grew up in Pakistan and the Middle East and has extensively studied all three Abrahamic religions.
C
My guy, they pray to your dude before every session. Christmas is a public holiday. Easter is a public holiday. As much as pretending gets you guys off, Catholics/Christians are not oppressed in the western world. Maybe for lent this year we give up playing the victim for 30 days.
M
Not to mention the many sitting MPs of Christian backgrounds, churches all around the country, shops closing early on a Sunday, and some of the best schools being Christian. Despite being a secular society, we have many hallmarks of a Christian nation. Many of our values and social norms come from Christian orthodoxy.
O
Except in Northern Ireland /s 😅 History joke.
S
40 days
N
Playing victim? Maybe we need to stop being guilt tripped into thinking we need to pander to every group. I’m proud of being white and western culture. Playing victim is false praying in the streets during a political protest, then having “Muslim leaders” (what ever that is) demand an apology. You say Christians are not oppressed in western world, yes it’s not common due to legal protections for religious beliefs. I see you are not mentioning the rest of the world? Because Christians are being persecuted, oppressed and slaughtered at mass numbers across many countries. These are VICTIMS and the majority of these countries are at the hands of Muslims. Who is really playing victim? Who is really being led into a guilt tripped disguised as sympathy?
R
Lmao Charlie Hedbo, Manchester, Nice, Bataclan, Paris teachers beheaded, Bondi, this isnt acknowledgement from the government its capitulation to prevent violence

well that’s just dumb
