I wonder if Albanese's weapon buy back scheme is really just an attempt to shut Howard, Frydenberg and the rest of them up. Given the scheme, as it is currently described, emulates not improves the original scheme, it's hard to see the real objective as anything else #bondi

Whilst Albanese prevaricates on gun reform that might actually help prevent further massacres, the far right is making hay from the horrendous events at Bondi this week. Immigration not gun reform will be the outcome and no one but the racists and the bigots will be better off. As for John Howard...

With a sneaky tweak, the government has made welfare recipients guilty until proven innocent
The government’s laws cancelling social security payments for some accused of crimes turn a safety net into a weapon for punishing people.

Gleeson has missed the point. The high risk indicators don't 'predict' homicide, the indicators identify increased potential for lethal violence and come from scrutiny of multiple DFV death reviews which found a series of factors common to domestic homicides.

We're getting one thing wrong when addressing domestic violence homicide
Victims must always be believed. The uncomfortable truth, however, is that statistically, it is almost impossible to predict lethal family violence because it is so rare.

Surely no one believes that Trump's Gaza ceasefire plan is anything but a strategy to make Trump look like a statesman at the same time as Netanyahu commits genocide. They both know Hamas will not go for all the conditions & T&N have already forewarned what will happen if they don't.

You have to ask yourself, is Anthony Albanese really that out of touch with the majority of Australian people? What a spectacular own goal that 'good people' comment was & how great was Husic's response. In 5 words Husic has shown Albanese for the timid leader he is #therearenogoodfascists

Interesting that Mehreen Faruqi was immediately sanctioned for holding up a sign in parliament supporting Gaza but Bob Katter threatens violence against a journalist who is simply doing his job and asking an MP a question - and has so far received no parliamentary censure.

Netanyahu has called our Prime Minister Anthony Albanese weak. A good response might be, 'you're a genocidal killer'.

This is a bit desperate. Revenue for roads does not need to come from fuel excise alone. Rather than penalising owners of electric vehicles for buying less petrol, lean on some of the real grifters in this country, the mining, alcohol and gambling industries.

Albanese and Wong are madly hustling on the hustings to convince voters of their outrage over atrocities in Gaza - Quite the shift from "Israel's right to defend itself"
In today's presser, PM Albanese seems confused by #MarchForHumanity #SaveGaza march. He seems to think people are only responding to recent images of starving children, rather than being opposed to the Israeli occupation, #IsraeliWarCrimes & #GazaGenocide. He still refuses to #SanctionIsrael #auspol

Something for Anthony Albanese et al to think about, hope it keeps him awake... the pro Palestine march on Sunday was not only a protest against the actions of the Israeli govt, it was a protest against the inaction and cowardice of our own government in the face of genocide.

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying “perilous” and “police feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

The Albanese Government will sanction Mehreen Faruqui over a sign in parliament but they won't sanction Israel over genocide in Gaza.
As for Australia's so called condemnation of Israel, the Government waited until many more nations had spoken up first. This govt has no principles & no courage.
