Rob Hirst has had a massive impact on Australian culture. He was the engine driving one of the greatest live bands of all time. RIP, dear Rob. You are irreplaceable, one of a kind, and myself, my family, and all the rest of this great country will miss you so much.

Unhinged racism. Explicitly tying Randa to a terrorist attack by two Indian Muslims, essentially accusing her of incitement, which is a real crime. Once again: ISIS is opposed to Palestinian statehood, has murdered Palestinian refugees, and burned Palestinian flags. They do not care about Palestine.
I don’t know how Malinauskas is managing to make this even worse. This is a horrendous comment - the false equivalence here is horrific

Apart from anything else, given that one of the biggest antisemitic tropes is “Jewish groups wield undue influence in politics and culture” this whole AWW debacle seems… counterproductive

I think if I were personally singled out and dropped from a festival line up due to a fucking terror attack I had no conceivable connection to I’d be consulting a defo lawyer before you finished speaking
