Susssssan Ley is happy to dish it out but can’t take it. She is a pathetic leader (?). 😡

The Liberal’s problem is that they want selective free speech. The law doesn’t work like that and it will get shot down in the High Court!

Politicising Bondi backfires for Liberals who got what they asked for
Federal Liberals are discovering the price of having been so brazen in their politicisation of the Bondi terror attack and many appear to have buyers' remorse.

As part of the political play, Ley wants a bill that only protects Jews. This is not how laws should work in a secular society.

Facetious comment: I wonder if all the anti-demonstration legislation has anything to do with the invitation to the president of Israel to visit Australia?

It seems to be the aim of several Jewish organizations (and Ley) to bring the oppression of Palestinians to Australia. This will NOT solve the issue of extremism that brought about Bondi. 😢

That b*tch Sussssan Ley says that the Royal Commission is above politics but she has been playing politics from day one and continues to do so. It’s about time she shut her face.

Typical tactics for the Israeli government. Just like the USA, they think that they are above any laws.

Notice that the only international leader who has given full-throated support to Trump over the Venezuela attack is Netanyahu - partners in crime.

According the Sussssan Ley, Albo is now hiding things - nothing like a good conspiracy! The main thing he is trying to avoid is the elephant in the room - the rise in antisemitism due to the Israeli response to Oct 7.

Chris Minns is getting seriously out of control talking about the Jewish CSG being armed and the possibility of bringing in troops! Admittedly he is being spurred on by the (right wing?) media. This will not end well. :-(

This was also expected. The culprits are most likely bogan ‘Australians’ that think that they have been given the green light, particularly by the LNP and RW media (let’s see them come out and condemn this - if they do, they’ll probably make excuses for it!).

There is no point in Labor trying to get bipartisan agreement with the LNP on anything as it is all a political power game to the COALition. Labor should tell the LNP to go funk themselves. 😤
December 15, 2024 at 11:02 PM
I wonder how much the COALition is planning on paying the current electricity generators to keep their aging plants running for an extra ten years, or will it buy these too. Can someone also put a dollar value on the additional environmental damage this will cause? 😱
