Essentially, all Australians who have demonstrated peacefully for the end of mass murder in Gaza are now being accused of responsibility for this horrifying antisemitic terrorist attack by an IS cell.
We know who we are. Our very large numbers include many Jewish people, & we are not antisemitic.

Sussan Ley out there fostering hate and division. The Liberal Party has not learned one lesson from its election loss. They only now appeal to extremists.
Using the “first they came for” lines is so fucking gross.
Also her team putting in “applause” is truly pathetic.

![Transcript from a speech the soon to no longer be Leader of the Opposition gave at Bondi today:
My team and I want you to be proud of your Jewish faith, to be able to celebrate a time like this. First they came for the Opera House, then they came to the Harbour Bridge, now they've come for Bondi, but we will not let them win.

Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

Traditional European Christmas Deserts by region. Being from Munich I am favoring the Frankonian Lebkuchen, the Italian Panettone and basically everything from Eastern Europe. Let’s just say that I’m no a picky eater... Source: buff.ly/2WxBIkC

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

"And *if* someone ever made five-dollar boots to equal fifty-dlollar boots, some rich bastard would devote his life to ending them."

Advance’s core campaigns against renewable energy and Aboriginal rights constitute the vested interests of many of their major contributors, particularly in the mining and energy sectors. other campaigns are to garner popular support. #auspol #Advance
Who are 'Advance' and what are they doing to our politics?
Launched in 2018 as a conservative answer to GetUp!, the group Advance likes to style itself as the voice of the average person against “the elite.

Weird. Will we have 5x as many people? Will people have 5x as much time? No, “consumers demand highly personalised experiences”. But do they do? Sounds like bullshit to me.

Yesterday, the Attorney General asserted that "hate speech" is not free speech.
Today, the President asserted that speech that is "mean" or "unfair' to him is "hate speech".
