Someone should ask Josh who was in Government when asio dismissed the younger shooter as a person of concern. Or who pushed to make it harder to prosecute antisemitic speech by trying to change Section 18C of Australia's Racial Discrimination Act against the wishes of the Jewish community.

I’m more than a little concerned that the folks in charge of the US right now view other people as possessions, objects, & non-entities & are fascinated by violence.

What could possibly go wrong?

I have policy differences with the PM. Nevertheless Albo is a smart, hardworking and successful politician. The pile on by the RW media a desperate opposition and Frydenberg is disgusting. Blaming him personally for an act of terrorism is grubby,partisan, opportunist politics.

Public safety can be strengthened without turning fear into a political performance. When protection becomes theatre, institutions weaken and social division deepens.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Public safety is a duty of government, not a stage for moral performance. Protection works best when it is even-handed, institutional and resistant to factional pressure, writes Sasha Klumov Attard.

This is a useful reminder that Australian federal law already provides a remedy for racialised hate speech and that criticism of Israel per se is not by itself anti semitic. theconversation.com/australian-l... #fundamentalhimanrights #auspol25
Australian law is clear: criticism of Israel does not breach the Racial Discrimination Act
The Federal Court recently found it is not inherently antisemitic to criticise the state of Israel or the Israel Defense Forces.
