1/2 The Sydney Jewish community and Australia have experienced the horror of terrorist violence.
The PM's Antisemitism Envoy has cynically used this tragedy to demonize peaceful protests for #FreePalestine and an end to the #GazaGenocide.
If Albanese wants 'social cohesion', she needs to go.

A reminder that the Australian gun laws that limited the scale of the anti-semitic slaughter in Sydney yesterday were repeatedly denounced by Charlie Kirk, who also said gun availability in the USA was “worth it to have a cost” of gun deaths every single year, “That is a prudent deal.”

Currently in Phnom Penh & heard about the #Bondi shooting. It’s incredibly awful. But even worse is knowing some will try to capitalise on it & cause further harm. And this will affect each of us. 😞

As we mourn the first mass shooting we've had in three decades since we introduced common sense gun laws, I don't want to comment on much while we wait for more information apart from celebrating this absolute legend with balls of steel.

Just heard about the Bondi shooting while on a bus in Phnom Penh. Not just a tragedy in itself, but an excuse for every disingenuous bad actor to try to undermine a peaceful society.

Phnom Penh is very cool to walk around, but don't be disappointed if you get run over a few times. Crossing the road is like Frogger. Sometimes the footpath too.
