Someone should ask Josh who was in Government when asio dismissed the younger shooter as a person of concern. Or who pushed to make it harder to prosecute antisemitic speech by trying to change Section 18C of Australia's Racial Discrimination Act against the wishes of the Jewish community.

@ronnisalt.bsky.social is one of Australia's most gifted writers. This is unarguably one of her most powerful and important pieces. Read it, share it, reflect upon it, and act for peace, compassion, empathy, and understanding.

Thank you, @ronnisalt.bsky.social.

Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you

Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

“The people who teach you to hate everyone now want to sell you something. The majority of Australians have the right to peacefully protest against Israel & its genocidal policies. Not all Jewish ppl support the actions of Israel. Religious extremism is evil. Hatred creates more hatred.”

Simon, her politicising of this event is about as low an act from a supposed leader as I've ever seen

I don't care what political colours anyone wears, (see Kellie Sloane's classy response as an example of what we should expect) but Ley's instant, opportunistic politicking of this is disgusting

If you're coming in her mouthing off about "politics" without any idea of the context of this post, let me assure you I'd say this about any politician who used this event to exploit their incessant political culture wars right now

I've just finished reading the judgment in the Lehrmann appeal to the Federal Court and a few points really stuck out - apart from the fact that the appeal judges agreed that Lehrmann's story was an absolute fabrication.

Lisa Wilkinson was found to have been poorly done by in the original judgment

The mayor of Tamworth Council is a very old mate of Barnaby Joyce's and a National party member

No surprises this backward collection of red-necks drags their council to court on their ratepayers' money to oppose a wind farm - and even then can't get their legal arguments right
Tamworth Council went to court to try and stop a wind farm. It didn’t go well. Tamworth Council argued that the wind turbines would be too big for local roads. The judge pointed out there is no approval needed to drive on a public road reneweconomy.com.au/youve-got-to...

How much longer is this farce of a sideshow going to continue?

NACC Commissioner, Paul Brereton, is once again embroiled in controversy.

The NACC Inspector, Gail Furness is currently investigating several complaints against Mr Brereton.

His position is untenable.

In case you're finding it hard to keep up, this court hearing was related to the allegation Lehrmann stole French submarine secrets in the days before his dismissal back in 2019

It's not about his current rape charges in QLD, or his car theft charges in Tas, or his 'defamation' appeal or . . . .
