Just try to contemplate that those who marched in protest of such murders occurring (in much greater numbers) are now being blamed by the Liberal Party for the Bondi Massacre.

Sussan Ley completely lacks what it takes to be Prime Minister or even lead a political party.

What a grubby nothing of a person she has revealed herself to be this past week.

I suspect many Jewish Australians would be disgusted by how grossly she has used this tragedy.

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.

I’m all for making Jewish Australians safer. It is their fundamental right to be safe and free from attacks.

But what I am NOT for is allowing a radical, right-wing Zionist wish-list become policy in Australia because their voices (and donations) are the biggest.
Reminder that Jillian Segal's husband donated $50 000 to Advance Australia, an extremist right‑wing anti‑immigrant and anti‑Muslim lobby group. #auspol

Giving Jillian Segal even more influence over Australian policy when she still hasn't denounced far-right group "Advance" (which she bankrolls) is extremely poor governing.

Australia deserves far better.
It's over five months since Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal made headlines for being one of the biggest funders of highly divisive, far-right political lobby group "Advance".

She has at all times refused to denounce Advance, its bigotry and racist hate.

The ABC needs to lift its game when interviewing traumatised people.

A Rabbi has just referred to pro-Palestinian marches as "pro-terror", "people calling for our death each week".

The ABC has a responsibility to ensure that opinion like this is not presented as fact.

On this combination of measures, it is the most responsible mid-year update on record.

It’s a sensible update that is all about delivery, responsibility and restraint.

Their ability to see a situation and come to the wrong conclusion is unmatched. And then they weaponise that conclusion to harangue their preferred target.
It's also rather telling that the only thing that the coalition can get their act together on is turning a tragedy into a political strategy.

Who the fuck would listen to Howard push back against gun reform in the wake of the biggest tragedy in decades (and no one is saying it’s just gun reform which is needed, ofc hate in all forms, including anti-Semitism is horrendous) and come to the conclusion that THIS is the take?!

John Howard pushed for the invasion of Iraq, which was one of the dominoes which created the conditions for ISIS and caused untold human misery we are still dealing with today. He refused to acknowledge racism was a main driver of the Cronulla riots.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

I know they're damned if they do and damned if they don't but the political posturing at Bondi is making me nauseous. Hanson, who's done more to stoke the hatred and division which has led us here than anyone, knows nothing more than slogans, stunts and stupidity. What an awful, awful person.

I said this before: I'm pretty sure 2 Muslim terrorists with links to IS were not influenced by the Bridge March against genocide.
The conservatives forces using the Bondi Massacre to instigate a crackdown of freedoms of speech and the right to assembly are completely disgusting.

Protesting genocide and the actions of the Netanyahu Israeli govt are not antisemitic.

He has said he has always been uncomfortable with multiculturalism, and had called for Asian migration to stop. He disagrees with people who say racism is a problem in Australia because that hasn’t been his experience. Why would anyone listen to him about social cohesion?!
