And just like that, Sussan Ley gets up in parliament to profit politically from a condolence motion, all while speaking like a fucking kindergarten teacher #Auspol
Seeing and hearing the unimaginable pain felt by the parents of Matilda, the 10 year old Bondi shooting victim, is not only gut wrenching but drives home how ghoulish the political games leeching off this tragedy by “leaders” across the country really are #Auspol

If you can leave, leave now. Vic Emergency at tonight’s briefing in Seymour. Emergency services will *not* be able to swoop into the middle of these fires tomorrow. #VicFires

Sigh, here we go. Frydenberg would only be happy if either he or Netanyahu were appointed as the commissioner.
Frydenberg used the massacre to stoke his own political fortunes. Utterly contemptible.

Democrats and Republicans both oversee the same rotten system using various degrees of bastardtry. The sooner the USA collapses, the better for the entire world. And something tells me it won’t be such a long wait.

If Sussan Ley insists on generating more division out of a horrible tragedy for perceived political gain, can she at least not talk like a kindergarten teacher? The condescending tone is getting old #Auspol

A hateful mass shooting, climate crisis, housing crisis, environmental destruction, genocide, emboldened Nazis, right wing politics surging, everyone making below $150k is routinely fucked. Aus politics doing nothing. A hostile media.

The Bondi shooting was a tragedy and my heart goes out to the Jewish community. But how on earth does Chris Minns think that banning pro-Palestine rallies will solve anything? Israel continues to slaughter innocent people with immunity, and he wants to stop people demonstrating against that? #Auspol

If you're scared this tragedy will by weaponised by those pushing hatred, division & control, same. It's a pattern that can change nations. We've already seen Netanyahu claim the Muslim who charged the shooters was Jewish. Empathy, patience and truth. Everything else is unhelpful

The plan has been emphatically rejected by the Australian Human Rights Institute,

We are horrified and shaken in the wake of the mass shooting at a Chanukah event in Bondi this evening, which has left at least ten people dead and injured many more.
This is the first night of Chanukah when we gather with loved ones and friends to light the Chanukiah. 1/4

My neighbour, who I can only assume reads the Herald Sun, installed a security system which blasts a warning to passersby that they “ARE NOW UNDER SURVEILLANCE.” We live on an arterial road with two adjacent tram lines and a train station. Can you guess what we get to hear all night? #Melbourne

A former chair of the Law Institute of Victoria’s criminal law section, Mel Walker, described the proposal as “extraordinary, bad policy and counterintuitive”.
Children could face life sentences for serious offences under Victorian government ‘adult time’ plan

Youth offenders, aged as young as 14, could face 20 year jail terms for violent crimes under proposal
Children as young as 14 who commit “serious crimes” will be sentenced as adults under a Victorian government plan to combat youth crime.
The state government said on Wednesday that it will adopt an “adult time for violent crime” laws similar to those in Queensland, which implemented the tough approach in 2024. Continue reading...
