These "Australian values" sound pretty good! Especially the bits about "freedom of speech", "freedonm of religion", "mutual respect", "tolerance" and "compassion for those in need" ... wonder if we can get some of our state premiers to sign up

The shooting of Alex Pertti is now to the point that even Fox Propaganda News can't even support the Regime lies about the shooting.
The NRA has finally spoken out about the right to carry a gun while protesting.
Only the hardcore brainwashed MAGA base, who are trying to support ICE.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

In 2019 an Australian far-right extremist went to Christchurch and shot dead 51 Muslims as they prayed. New Zealand did not respond by banning radical Australian immigration.

To those who are pro Hamas, please know this;
I spent a week in Gaza in 2009. There are no kinder, more welcoming people anywhere. In 2007 Hamas was elected into power- Hamas has not permitted any election since. They dominate, brutalize & terrify the people. Hamas does not represent Gazas ppl.

I hope AUS PM Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns realise that MANY Australians DO NOT want "social cohesion" with neo-nazis and Zionist bigots. That sort of "social cohesion" sounds a lot like condoning anti-Palestinian racism and complicity in genocide. #auspol #nswpol #FreePalestine

Murrow warned us about this a long time ago, that TV would trade truth for spectacle, analysis for noise, and civic duty for profit. Putting unvetted, attention seeking talkers on air proves his point. TV chose ratings over responsible reporting. It’s the business model.
