If only the government had acted earlier to let an unqualified, politically appointed anti-semitism Czar police the thoughts of university campuses, the government could have .. <checks notes> .. persuaded a father/son IS terrorist cell from terroristing.

Butt out Netanyahu. Ugly political point-scoring follows Bondi Beach tragedy - Michael West
Israel’s Prime Minister should butt out of Australian politics. The tragedy at Bondi Beach must not be exploited for political points.

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.

Since 1979, the year reliable records began, exactly one person has died in Australia from a spider bite. One. A man in 2016 who tragically did not receive antivenom in time after a redback bite.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Tim 'I'm the real victim here' Wilson quite happy to conduct his Goldstein campaign like the bombing of Dresden. No safe space, no quarter given, ruthlessly attack. Charming.

Perhaps worse is the murky influence of '3rd party' outfits like Advance. This is how democracy is undermined.
