If Josh Frydenberg wants to talk about bad appointments for Royal Commissioner, he should start with his party’s appointment of Dyson Heydon, who was later found to have sexually harassed multiple women.
I don’t recall Josh raising any objections?

Why is the media staying silent about more than a thousand rank-and-file Labor members calling on the govt to rescind its invitation to Israeli Pres Herzog?
Is it bcoz they’re too busy making noise about a small group of former Labor MPs calling for a Royal Commission? #auspol

PM attends Bondi victim’s funeral, quietly and without fanfare.
Earlier media outrage over funerals overlooked the fact that decisions not to attend were made at the request of families, and out of respect.

If we ever do have a royal commission into Bondi, its terms of reference should include an examination of the media’s highly political handling of the tragedy. That’s where we might also learn who really dials up hate and racism in this country.

Pressed on why she won’t support urgent gun reform following the Bondi massacre, Sussan Ley dismisses it as a “distraction”.

Donald Trump says the reason he’s changed his mind on regime change is because Venezuela “isn’t a country on the other side of the world.”
So bombing for regime change is fine — as long as it’s close enough? 🤦♂️

New anti-protest laws in NSW are used against anti-war protesters opposing Trump’s new war — on the grounds that protesting causes “fear and divisiveness”.

Wondering whether any highly paid CEOs, sports stars or other non-experts now calling for a RC into Bondi said a word when the LNP rejected calls for a Banking RC or a Robodebt RC. 🤔
