On 10 Oct, 2016 both PM Malcolm Turnbull & OL Bill Shorten spoke on a motion denouncing racism in Australia. As Shorten stood, Sussan Ley was among a group to walk out. At the time, the push to weaken the Racial Discrimination Act was raging. #auspol youtu.be/F9y_v0yT8cE

"The manifold failures of 26 Australian Royal Commissions since 1980 to do anything much about the underlying sins, wickedness, and malfeasance that they were supposed to address should caution us against a repeat with the Bondi shootings." johnmenadue.com/post/2026/01...

FMD the hypocrisy from Bridget Rorty McKenzie is something else! #auspol "McKenzie defended her use of the entitlement as within the rules"

Albanese can’t win. Surprised he hasn’t figured this out yet.

So just found out that Audible have silently removed six audiobooks from my library. Because I noticed, and complained, they gave six credits to buy them back again. They did this because the publishers updated the books and Audible just deleted the old versions.

It seems likely that the govt will do a royal commission, so just know they Zionists etc will now shift to "we don't like the terms of reference" "we don't like the the commissioner". The entire point of the calls for the RC was not to get one, but to be able to complain and attack the govt.

Looks like the old endemic corruption in the NSW @australianlabor.bsky.social party didn't die with Graham Richardson after all. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01... #nswpol #auspol

Age letter writers aren’t buying the paper’s push for a royal commission, generally speaking

Am I right in thinking Australia's conservatives / racists / bigots etc are pushing hard for this because they want several weeks of persistent bad publicity for the Albanese gov't + a platform for hate and racism feeding an anti-immigration media frenzy?

Colour me surprised… “The timing, conduct and terms of reference of any Royal Commission should be structured so as not to interfere with ongoing criminal proceedings” say the law council. So it would look at everything but the actual attack and motives behind it?

Have any of the people calling for Bondi RC called out Israel for its genocide/holocaust against Palestinians? I’ll wait.

Public conversation in Australia is so moronic and disingenuously manipulated that paying attention to it is a health hazard. Semi-charismatic empty vessels, on behalf of the hyper-wealthy, squawk about why we need something racist, or fascist. Repeat until the sun explodes.

We don’t need a federal royal commission to point the finger at Israel. We know why there is a rise in religious hatred. They just have to stop the genocide.

I’m still amazed that the sub judice aspect has been ignored in the rolling media campaign for a Bondi royal commission. In case you’ve not read about it (and why would you) I’ve written about it here: open.substack.com/pub/nickfeik...

If the ALP didn’t run a Royal Commission into the Murdoch media, something universally understood to have caused irreparable harm to the country for decades and something more than 500,000 signed a petition for, there is no way you can justify running one for antisemitism. #auspol

Funny how nobody organised prominent business people and former sports people to sign a letter demanding a Royal Commission into Sports Gambling that instantly got massive coverage in the mainstream media isn’t it? Wonder why? 🤔

Ahhhh the sport ‘star’ royal commission propaganda was driven by Nova Peris, a loud and proud Zionist.

Grant Hackett calling for a royal commission?! Because values?! Accused of domestic violence, smashed his house up, lost in the casino out of control drunk, groped a fellow passenger’s nipple on a plane, too dangerous for his own family …that Grant Hackett?

I’m not taking any notice of the calls for a Royal Commission into Bondi until hear from at least 40 people that I’ve never heard of who’ve been on Dancing With The Stars

It would be a shame of there were records of how a one Josh Fridenberg voted during his time in parliament as a voted member, representing himself, and not the people of Victoria, or his constituents. Much Love 🥰 Respect PC #auspol

ASIO advised NSW Police that the son had been associating with Islamic extremists – well before police granted a gun licence to his father and accomplice. The son was placed on a “known entity management list” around 2021. Yet NSW Police issued his father a gun licence in 2023.

When 15 people are massacred by terrorists in Bondi, Netanyahu blames Albanese - and the media follows his cue. But Netanyahu commits mass murder and enforced starvation every day, and it’s silence from Albanese and our media (oh, except for a ceremonial invitation to Israel’s pres). Pretty stark.

How about business leaders first institute all the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry?

Albanese: we have to stop kids seeing gambling ads so we need a ban Gambling lobby: what if, instead of banning the ads, you ban the kids? Albanese: I can’t see how that will work Gambling lobby: leave that to us Albanese: make it happen

A disturbing piece. Jewish students who attended private Jewish schools in Canada and the USA talk about the pro-Zionist pro-Israel indoctrination that is integral to the schools. I wonder if this occurs at private Jewish schools in Australia too. 🤔 #education www.readthemaple.com/youre-litera...

Two decisions by Frydenberg and Morrison – tobacco tax arrangements and the WA GST deal which has blown out to $50 billion – in that budget year have punched at least a $115 billion hole in the nation’s finances. Who'd let Frydenebrg near the public purse again? #auspol

I'm curious as to what actual power the Zionist lobby has over the government. It's not votes, as they're a tiny demographic. Israel is hardly an ally or partner. Is it simply fear of being branded antisemitic itself for not offering support? Or alienating the UK and US? Help me out here #Auspol
