All journalists in #Australia should be asking these questions of politicians: what does protesting have to do with these killings? Where is the link?
Gun crackdown and controversial protest laws to be passed in NSW despite Coalition split over firearms
Gun crackdown and controversial protest laws to be passed in NSW despite Coalition split over firearms
NSW Nationals to oppose gun law reforms introduced in wake of Bondi attack, as Greens say protest laws are ‘draconian’ and may be unconstitutional
Gun laws will be significantly tightened and protests restricted for up to three months in New South Wales at the behest of the police commissioner, under an emergency set of laws introduced to the state parliament in the wake of the Bondi shooting.
The bill is being debated in the lower house on Monday and is expected to pass the lower house on Monday afternoon with the support of the NSW Liberal party, and pass the upper house on Tuesday. Continue reading...

What do we want? - "Social cohesion!"
When do we want it? - "Just after we finish booing our political opponents at a memorial service!"
That one might need a bit more work.

Ley's leadership is over.
Everyone knows this.
She is hoping that appealing to Sky News Bigots will save her.
And she does not care if she tears apart the country.
Her entire political life has been rendered worthless (not that it had much value before) by her actions this past week.

Sussan Ley is clearly so far out of her depth that she deserves to be sacked by her party, purely for her own good.
This is perhaps the most contemptible thing any political leader has ever said in this country.
The sooner she f*cks off to obscurity the better for Australia.

If the remit of a royal commission into anti semitism includes the role Netanyahu and Israel’s actions have played in anti semitism then I support a royal commission.
If it doesn’t, it is nothing but performative politics.

The ABC is trapped. Cutting off this unhinged rant would be seen as biased and bring the ire of the rest of the RWNJs, and media authorities. MSM has to report the 'news' even if its racist propaganda. That is why Independent media is our only salvation. It has morals, choice and clarity. #Auspol
"Our" ABC broadcasts a non-stop thirty minute abusive #LNP rant against Islamic immigrants, vilifying the PM and mocking the government's intent for strict gun control and a buy back, instead calling for an anti-immigration policy.

I have long thought that if John Howard had been the opposition leader after the Port Arthur massacre, he would have fought tooth and nail against any changes to gun laws, and used the event & proposed law changes to attack the govt & cause division.
