Johs Frydenberg is a private citizen who lives in Victoria. He travelled all the way to Bondi to involve himself in the proceedings and whip up the anger.
He could have been “furious”(smh) in Melbourne; even had his say down there.
But no - “look at me, look at me, look at me”.
Main chancer. 😡

All according to plan
1. Conflate Zionism with Jewishness
2. Get Jews, some of whom, had nothing to do with genocide, killed
3. Say “look we need Israel, see how mean they are to Jews?”
These deaths are on the hands of Zionists and all who equate Zionism with Jewishness.

I’m beginning to seriously despise John Howard - trotted out to stir up passions while people are still grieving.
Utterly, utterly disgraceful troublemaking.
Nine News using Howard, and Pauline Hanson to do their dirty work for them. This is not reporting news - it’s creating news. Bah Humbug!

The AFR's Phil Coorey has posted an unhinged, unfactual, fear-mongering piece, falsely equating pro-Palestine protests with anti-Semitism, claiming they chant "kill the Jews". This has been proven to be untrue. Coorey's op-ed is unfactual and dangerous. 😠 #BondiBeachShooting

Israeli media have reported that the United States has barred senior European diplomats accredited to the Palestinian Authority from entering a US-run coordination centre linked to President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, following a direct request from Israel.

“Annika Wells must resign”. James Massola demands it!
Perhaps he’d like Jenny Morrison to take her place.
He is such a partisan jerk! And he’s CHIEF political reporter for SMH no less. Says it all really.

I agree that the travel expenses are "within the guidelines". So the system IS at fault. But surely a principled politician would stop and think: I'm on a salary of $403,064. Should I be charging the taxpayer to pay my family's travel expenses to a ski resort? Come on! #SenseOfEntitlement #auspol

Lovely story on ABC online news “rare piece of Australia’s indigenous history captured on camera in the desert”.
But, but…the first sentence: “Bugurra Woia cackles loudly, remembering the moment her life changed forever.”
What’s wrong with “laughs loudly”?
Stereotype? People deserve dignity.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Matt Anderson, what a total disgrace. Needs to be removed so people who can tell the truth are there. What are weapons manufacturers doing in charge of, or funding, a war memorial anyway? 'edited out a dead Afghan body'. If dead people were shown maybe we would lose our love of war.

Disasters like the BoM website update exemplify exactly why we need to build capacity in the public service and reduce our over reliance on consultants. A robust public service will always provide better value for money and better quality for the taxpayer dollar.

Neither. We are all born naked and helpless and die pretty much the same way. Why carry the institutionalised privilege on when the rich and selfish die? Take the money and spend it on lifting people out of poverty.
