I must have a very bad memory b/c I cannot for the life me remember any of these self-serving playactors calling for Scott Morrison's resignation after an Australian man groomed by years of blatant Islamophobia from political and media arenas flew to NZ to murder 51 Muslims. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #auspol #BondiBeach

I’ll not be tolerating any words associating opposition to genocide with antisemitic murder.

If you're scared this tragedy will by weaponised by those pushing hatred, division & control, same. It's a pattern that can change nations. We've already seen Netanyahu claim the Muslim who charged the shooters was Jewish. Empathy, patience and truth. Everything else is unhelpful

Sussan Ley, touting the Antisemitism Envoy’s report, demanding that it be immediately implemented.

The plan has been emphatically rejected by the Australian Human Rights Institute,
Amnesty Internatjonal and a coalition of 9 Jewish groups.

Sussan Ley predictably already playing politics over the #BondiShooting is pretty downright gross #Auspol

We are horrified and shaken in the wake of the mass shooting at a Chanukah event in Bondi this evening, which has left at least ten people dead and injured many more.

This is the first night of Chanukah when we gather with loved ones and friends to light the Chanukiah. 1/4

What the fuck is happening to our country? Genuinely feel sick to my stomach. Being born after Port Arthur, I never imagined I’d ever see a mass shooting in Australia #BondiBeach

LNP’s disarray on climate is going to give a lot of cover to Labor’s sub standard performance #auspol

My neighbour, who I can only assume reads the Herald Sun, installed a security system which blasts a warning to passersby that they “ARE NOW UNDER SURVEILLANCE.” We live on an arterial road with two adjacent tram lines and a train station. Can you guess what we get to hear all night? #Melbourne

A former chair of the Law Institute of Victoria’s criminal law section, Mel Walker, described the proposal as “extraordinary, bad policy and counterintuitive”.

Jacinta Allan and Victorian Labor signing treaty into law in the same breath that they try to implement sentencing reform for vulnerable and traumatised children, which will be devastating for First Nations kids, is disgusting. Tough on crime only appeases mouth breathers #SpringStreet #Auspol

Labor thinks they sound really good when saying “the GreENs PolITIcAl PaRtY” in #QuestionTime whilst they spend their second term continuing to do three-fifths of fuck all on housing, the environment and equality. I just despise Labor and their beige incrementalism so much #Auspol

Matt Canavan looks like he should be one of those fun uncles you see once or twice a year who drinks a couple beers and is really funny. Instead the bloke opens his mouth to either remind everyone he has an economics degree or spout pathological bullshit about climate change denial #auspol

I remember being a tourist in North Korea 15 yrs ago where they have a month dedicated to their soldiers and being at a theme park show and suddenly being expected to stand and clap for the soldiers in the audience at the direction of the lady introducing the show

Oh sorry no! I was in San Diego

Lot of media organisations and journalists glad they now can move on from having to talk about Israel bombing another hospital.

BREAKING: Israel begins carpet bombing Australian civilians after Netanyahu reveals that Prime Minister Albanese was actually Hamas all along and that it would be anti-Semitic to even consider trying to fault that logic #AusPol

they're against (((israel))) which i think is a uh important distinction from being against israel
I'm all in favor of hearing that younger Republicans including conservative Christians are trending in a more Israel-critical direction but but but this way of putting it... sure does signal some things to be worried about.
