Hanson is calling for tougher hate speech laws, while she is currently in court trying to appeal against her loss in a hate speech legal case. A fact not mentioned by a single outlet covering this story.
Hanson at the Bondi memorial calling for students to be "rounded up" and cuts to immigration. The crowd muttering in agreement, and giving her a huge round of applause once she finishes.

Howard took all the credit for the gun reform when it was originally a Bob Brown policy from Tassie before the Port Arthur massacre. Tim Fischer did all the heavy lifting convincing the farmers it was good legislation and they gave him hell. Howard was just a mouth.

'Many Australians are alive today because of Tim Fischer'
Within days of the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, the Nationals leader and then-prime minister John Howard had started building a case to introduce some of the toughest gun control laws in the world.

The unarmed man who ran towards the shooter, and grabbed his rifle was a Lebanese Muslim and an immigrant to Australia.
As Muslims are so often demonized, worth mentioning that it was a Muslim who rushed to save Jewish lives on Bondi Beach.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
