Don’t look back in anger - The Shot
I’m angry. We’re all angry. Perhaps that’s part of the problem. At the moment, we’re angry at two twisted individuals...

This country is not those two. They were radicalised extremists. That’s the point. Extremism is by its nature rare. It does not grow from a failure of moral consensus. It seeks to shock the consensus that exists. Those suggesting otherwise for their own advantage betray the memory of this tragedy.

Your regular reminder that Sussan Ley is an empty-headed baying gorgon and an inflammatory idiot with the morals and political acumen of groin fungus.

the only people describing the Bondi shooting as a failure of leadership by Albanese and Minns etc are all either failed leaders themselves or genocidal maniacs...so let's just take a breath on that one shall we?

Absolutely horrified by the news of the mass murders in Sydney's Bondi Beach - a place dear to me, where I used to live, and which I cannot imagine as a massacre site. Humanity needs to stop and re-evaluate our infinite capacity for inhumanity. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

"Vietnam has been hit by 14 typhoons this year. Five was the average a few decades ago. The rain from the past few days did not even come from a cyclone — but to add inundation on top of injury, a 15th major storm has just formed off the country’s south central coast."

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."

When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.

He's a tyrant.

My good God, reading about USA politics is both exhausting and scary.
Here in Australia, we should be both alert and alarmed.
Protect our precious and fragile democracy - with its checks and balances- to stop the contagion.

I didn't know until we buried my mother, so probably most people here don't know: Jewish cemeteries strongly recommend that you get insurance for the headstone.

Because the cemeteries are so often desecrated, the gravestones smashed.
