    Penny Wong will watch the U.S. crush the ICC while uttering the quietest “don’t” as they do. She is a coward and this is heartbreakingly unsurprising.

      Just for reference to other countries-

      Penny Wong voted against gay marriage multiple times. She is a lesbian and took advantage of our Gay Marriage laws the second they were introduced (long story short- we have Goldman Sachs to thank for those laws, yes really…) but voted against them multiple times.

      Spineless doesn’t even begin to cover it.

    There has never been a country in history who has been the world’s lone superpower and top of the world order, that has worked so hard to destroy and reset the world order.

    Generally when on top you try and keep it that way, but this current American administration just wants to burn it all to the ground.

    Mr Rubio said the administration had been pressing more countries to “join our campaign by ending their funding and participation in this politicised and unaccountable court” — something that Australia would not do.

    At least not until Israel tells us to.

    I hope they keep this energy up when someone else is in power.

    If the US is gonna be the world police they should be extra subject to the rule of law, just like the local police.*

      Can we actually not have them as the world police? They’ve been pretty shite at it and actually very corrupt. Kinda like their own police are.

    USA is trying to get rid of the ICC due to the fact Trumps worried they’ll go after him for all his war crimes and the fact that all his friends already have warrants for arrest. Ie Putin and Bibi
