Albo just got booed at the memorial for the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting.
I immediately felt sick.
I’m also angry that this tragedy has been so politicised.
Albo is not to blame. The Labor government is not to blame.
Hateful extremists ARE to blame.
We need unity. Not more hate.

Can't help noticing Matt Golding's latest cartoon (below) was published on The Age's letters page, but not in its Sydney Morning Herald counterpart.
Given the latter's 'coverage' (for want of a better word) of #bondibeach, I'm not surprised.

The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?
