Minns may be seen as more proactive, but he is also authoritarian and markedly pro Israel. Not attractive to many
‘The terrorism brought two political leaders into sharp public focus, Albanese and New South Wales premier Chris Minns, and the comparison was unfavourable to Albanese. What has been seen by voters can’t be unseen.’

Anthony Albanese was cruising to the summer break. Now his leadership faces its most serious test
Despite a landslide election victory little more than six months ago, the prime minister is facing a complex political landscape

Trump: "We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population. They say Denmark, but Denmark has spent no money. They have no military protection. They say Denmark was there 300 years ago or something with a boat. Well, we were there with boats too I'm sure."

a critical subtext of Minns whining about actions for Palestine is that the rallies and marches are so massive. He keeps saying it. The actual cause of the massacre, two (2) extremists, has all but disappeared behind white-zionist fear of huge popular support for Palestinian liberation.

Farid Farid is back on duty🤩asking why Minns says “this group” when he means Palestine Action Group and “those territories” when he means Palestinian Territories. Minns says he needs to be specific, while specifying nothing.

Minns is back up demonising protests against genocide. Not the nazis. He complained about a swastika on an zisraeli flag but not swastika-tattooed white males parading around Parliament House with their Abolish the Jewish Lobby banner.

Truly pathetic.
The type of performance that has your colleagues start doing the numbers.
Not just stupid, but stupid politics - gives Albanese an easy chance to show himself as a leader and take the high road.
Most voters don't even know who Ley is. So this will be their first impression

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.

As I have watched the Day of Reflection event at Bondi, I have grown increasingly concerned with the tone and tenor of the speeches. I am particularly concerned by the President of the Australian Council of Jewry claiming that all Jews at the event are “proud Zionists”.

What the Bondi Beach tragedy reveals about Australia’s political faultlines
In the aftermath of the Bondi Beach attack, grief was quickly accompanied by political demands that blurred the line between combating antisemitism and suppressing dissent, with troubling consequences for social cohesion and civil liberties.
