I beg Americans to understand there’s no need for you to centre the US in discussions about gun use and control in Australia. It’s totally cringe and patronising - given the totally different contexts.

Is it the media’s role to repeat attacks by political opponents on the Labor Government verbatim with no further context?

It’s one thing to quote a grieving father. It’s quite another to quote various Liberal politicians as gospel.

As I understand today's discussion, we can stop an ISIS cell by policing the speaker list at writer's festivals and the BA syllabus at Unis. And by "stopping demonstrations." This is madness.

Howard slams Albanese’s leadership, calls changes to gun laws a ‘diversion’
Former prime minister John Howard has declared the government’s push to reform gun laws following the Bondi terror attack a distraction from fighting antisemitism.

I keep forgetting John Howard isn’t dead. He looks like it, but he’s not.

Two people are murdered and this is how the president responds. Not with empathy or leadership, but with mockery and self-worship. It’s a moral abyss and he keeps digging. Anyone still defending this ethically bankrupt, frightened, sad little excuse for a man is telling you exactly who they are.

Ah yes, that's where a recently unemployed 24-year-old bricklayer, who spent years hanging around Australia's pro-IS network, and his 50-year-old migrant father were radicalised: university anti-genocide protests 🙄

Be fucking serious for a moment.

Reddit says it's not a social media platform because it doesn't enable "social interaction". The High Court is unlikely to buy it.

I don’t use social media to argue about politics with strangers.

I use social media to talk to people about fish.

When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish.

When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because we’re Jewish.
"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"

I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

Reddit is growing because it's just a collection of forums and people like their niches. Substack is something else and I'm bored even writing this sentence about it. All I know for sure is the reporters and commenters who spend their whole day on Twitter in 2025 have to go to a hospital.

Here’s an article from this year with the Australian gun lobby boasting that, with surging gun numbers, it was winning the fight against firearms control advocates. Blame guns. Blame anti-Semitism. Blame terrorists. Do not blame everyday Australians who marched for peace.
Australia’s gun lobby says it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control as numbers surge
There are now more than 4m guns in the community – almost double the number recorded in the years after the Port Arthur massacre that prompted a national crackdown

Solidarity to the Australian Jewish community. No one should die for practising their faith.

And respect to all those who engaged in big and small acts of heroism when it counted. You are the best of us.
