Victory.

The Australian federal election which has just been decided is another victory for the power of hate.

The right-wing Liberal Party ran on an agenda of punishing asylum seekers and the poor.

Their only policies were negative and the whole of their campaign was based on fear.

And the people in my church were smiling and saying how wonderful it was that they'd won.

What's the use of saying you support asylum seekers and the poor if you're going to vote for the people who oppress them.

It's blatant hypocrisy.

And it cannot be tolerated.
