CBMK0028 Andrew Hastie, Lets talk about him

from Code Black with Madison King Podcast · host Code Black with Madison King

I said it then and I’ll say it now: what we are seeing from people like Andrew Hastie is not leadership — it’s obedience.There are soldiers, and then there are soldiers.Some are trained to question.Some are trained to follow orders.And in politics, that distinction matters.When an MP votes yes to a 140-page, bundled bill that expands executive power, weakens safeguards, and centralises control — without forcing it back to the table, without demanding it be split, without standing up publicly against the dangerous parts — Australians are entitled to draw conclusions.Not about what’s in his head —but about what he chose to do.If someone’s defence of that vote is a single talking point — “removing terrorists” — while ignoring everything else buried in the legislation, then one of two things is true:Either they didn’t properly interrogate the bill,or they decided obedience was easier than resistance.And neither is acceptable from someone elected to represent Australians.Military service is a job.An honourable job — but still a job.It does not automatically confer wisdom, independence, or political courage.Every profession has people who are excellent at following instructions.That does not mean they are equipped to challenge power when it matters.Australians should pay very close attention to who voted yes.Because votes are not symbolic.They are choices.And when MPs choose party alignment, optics, or personal positioning over scrutiny, accountability, and public interest — that tells you exactly who they are as legislators.These politicians are not accidents.They are products of the system we keep voting for.Democracy doesn’t fail by accident — it reflects its voters.If this angers you, don’t just lash out.Ask why.Because yesterday’s vote didn’t come from nowhere.It is the result of years of political complacency, lowered standards, and blind loyalty at the ballot box.We reap what we sow.#fypシ゚viralシ #australiaSupport the showFollow Code Black with Madison King www.linktr.eee https://linktr.ee/codeblackMK?
