That is something to be celebrated, in my opinion. There is no toxic cultural notion of "citizen soldier" or "the man with a gun". What we see is just a guy who did something very brave in a moment to help strangers -- as it should be.

For me at least, the key part of the footage of the man disarming the attacker was when he takes possession of the rifle and points it at the shooter but does not fire. This is also very Australian: he removed the threat but did not take the next step into aggression or murder.

People should know that the hero in this violence against the Australian Jewish community was a fruit shop owner of Muslim faith.
Lindsey Graham and Benjamin Netanyahu should keep their disgusting comments regarding Australia and PM to themselves and look to their own backyard before judging others

"AI could invent free renewable energy."

Or, y'know, we could deploy the stuff that works and is already cheaper than the fossil alternative, while doing the hard political work of figuring out how to pass the savings on to households, balancing the interests of shareholders and ratepayers.

Another angle on #bondi: we might need to tighten our gun laws again.

If Pauline and Barnaby want these tragedies to end, they won't object, I'm sure ... 👀

They’re being tight-lipped about it, but it’s clearly bad - he’s rarely photographed in any position but sitting anymore, he’s taken to hiding his hands (in addition to the ridiculous makeup to cover the bruises).

And then the ‘preventative MRI’

There’s something going on for sure.

Gun control isn’t about taking anything away. It’s about admitting something has been added that we can’t manage.

I am a Muslim Australian and appalled and angered by today's Hanukkah terrorist/murder spree on Bondi Beach. This (murdering of innocent people) goes against everything Islam teaches us, and i wish i could do more to reassue Aussie Jews that you are safe and wanted in out country #Bondibeach

Like Witkoff's surrender plan for Ukraine, Trump's National Security Strategy is a declaration of appeasement to the worst dictators on earth and a pledge to act more like those monsters.

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

The response from SBS management on #Eurovision is pathetic.

The question they must answer is:
"If you agreed with the 2022 EBU decision that the inclusion of Russia would 'bring the competition into disrepute', how can you possibly justify genocidal Israel?" #auspol

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.
