To me, Hastie is already eyeing off the leadership. He just does not want to lose the next election first. #auspol

And for the record, I am not about denying a Jewish state. Just the fact that this man was invited over and given time in Australia. His words are like Netanyahu's and supports the atrocities that have been inflicted on Gaza.
I don't support the Palestinian attacks that started this. But nor this

These new "Australian" laws will not shut down truth and honesty. We all know what is happening in the world and won't be silenced because of a unfair law.

I feel for the Jewish community over Bondi, but, I also feel for the people involved on the wrong side of the Genocide that this man and his country are doing. He should not be in Australia. Nor should we support their behaviour in Gaza.
