Cannot emphasise enough how intensely fascist / violent it is to criminalise the act of being publicly opposed to civilian murder on false pretences
It is not hyperbole at all to present these government actions as something that will cause serious harm in a bunch of different ways

Minns and Albanese are being played like puppets by the Israel lobby and Mike Burgess is too busy hoping nobody will notice the failure of his agency to neutralise a terror cell unassociated with the public sympathy and marches for Palestinian liberation. No one in leadership is doing their job.

I've been saying lately that it's not just a win if you can get good things to happen, it's also a win if the worst that might happen gets derailed or delayed. So, whatever happens going forward, I'll take this moment as a win. No batshit declaration of war tonight is one more day without it.

Incredible the entire press gallery is actually buying the line (promulgated by Netanyahu!) that Albanese is personally to blame for the Bondi attack.
No one is actually explaining how firing academics for opposing Israel’s genocide would stop two people who never went to uni from this shooting.

![BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• "We are getting reports".
". could mean anything.
• "We are seeking confirmation".. means they don't have it.
• "[News outlet] has learned". means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
