I am pretty damn proud to work with @australiainstitute.org.au, with people like @richarddenniss.bsky.social and @amyremeikis.bsky.social and @emmashortis.bsky.social et al. No slinking quietly into the background here - they're making a pretty necessary stand for what's right

After Bondi, calls for a Royal Commission appeared overnight, delivered by rotating groups using identical language. That is astroturfing, a PR tactic that simulates grassroots demand to manufacture urgency, crowd out scrutiny, and lock in policy before evidence is tested. More on YT

Zionism needs to be completely rooted out of Australian society.
It fosters hate and seeks to undermine Australian domestic politics by forcing the will of the Israeli govt on our society.

If we ever do have a royal commission into Bondi, its terms of reference should include an examination of the media’s highly political handling of the tragedy. That’s where we might also learn who really dials up hate and racism in this country.

A prominent group of Aussie Royal Family Commemorative Plate collectors has just sent a letter to the Prime Minister demanding a Royal Commission. They don't really know why, they just like using the word 'royal'.

It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.
