Gun control is not the only way Australia has spared itself from the kind of horror we frequently see in the US. It’s also not the only thing that is alarmingly slipping, writes Charlie Lewis.
'He wanted to be remembered': Don't give mass killers what they want
For years academics and public health officials have begged the media to rethink how it covers mass shootings.

Mentions of government “critics” concerned about Australian immigration levels featured news coverage of the attack even before the immigration status of either alleged shooter was known.
Andrew Bolt instantly blamed Bondi atrocity on immigration. It follows a global right-wing script
While the predictable narrative is pushed by a small group of right-wing voices — regardless of context or relevance — it’s readily amplified to the masses by mainstream media.

Fucking bunch of cowards. There's no justification for stuff like that.
I am aghast.
I hope for the victims and wish the perpetrators all possible ills.

Very sad news coming to us here in Queensland from NSW Bondi Beach. Thoughts with all.
There will be media speculation in coming days, weeks, months & years. The office of the NSW Coroner is the only one that can establish the facts here.
Plz don't react to anything in media.

Read "Out of the Sea" by A. C. Benson.
One of those stories you can figure out the mystery miles away. The closest thing to a twist being the late paragraph, and it ain't one. An all around bland short story.

Just read "A Dead Finger" by Sabine Baring-Gould. A disturbingly creepy short story. It loses a good deal of its "bite" for casting every non-conformant in society as morality corrupt and evil. It would be fairly more potent as a horror story without it.
