PM attends Bondi victim’s funeral, quietly and without fanfare. Earlier media outrage over funerals overlooked the fact that decisions not to attend were made at the request of families, and out of respect.

Pressed on why she described far-right neo-Nazis as “far-left”, Sussan Ley says these are just “political concepts” and can be framed however you like. 🤔 I don’t think so, Sussan. Left neo-Nazis? #auspol

Quietly, without much scrutiny, NSW has climbed into the global top 10 rankings of jurisdictions with the most heavy-handed anti-protest laws. The media treats this normal. It’s isn’t. #auspol

NSW Police Commissioner announces extension to anti-protest laws for another two weeks, saying publicly protesting about anything is “divisive” and could make “some people” “absolutely upset”. ‘Some people’s’ feelings now outweigh the right to protest in NSW? Yikes 🙄 #auspol

If we ever do have a royal commission into Bondi, its terms of reference should include an examination of the media’s highly political handling of the tragedy. That’s where we might also learn who really dials up hate and racism in this country.

Pressed on why she won’t support urgent gun reform following the Bondi massacre, Sussan Ley dismisses it as a “distraction”. Will any sports stars or people in business complain about that?

Donald Trump says the reason he’s changed his mind on regime change is because Venezuela “isn’t a country on the other side of the world.” So bombing for regime change is fine — as long as it’s close enough? 🤦‍♂️

New leader. Same old Victorian Liberals — still eating each other alive. 🙄

New anti-protest laws in NSW are used against anti-war protesters opposing Trump’s new war — on the grounds that protesting causes “fear and divisiveness”. This is beyond ridiculous.

Funny how the countries with the most oil always seem to end up on Washington’s ‘problem’ list. #Venezuela

Wondering whether any highly paid CEOs, sports stars or other non-experts now calling for a RC into Bondi said a word when the LNP rejected calls for a Banking RC or a Robodebt RC. 🤔

So I guess the only real difference between Donald Trump and George W Bush is Bush had the balls to admit he was a “war president” #Venezuela

“We are asking for the liberation of our President.” Venezuelans speak out against Donald Trump’s invasion & demand he return their President. #ABC #Venezuela

Laura Tingle on #ABC has slammed Trump’s actions in Venezuela as an “extraordinary breach of international law.” Says if this is about oil, “well, actually, natural resources belong to the country where they come from.” 💥 #Venezuela

I wonder how many illegal acts of war Americans will commit before we stop calling them our greatest ally. We should stand with the people of Venezuela, condemn Trump & demand he return their President. Sitting back & calling for “dialogue” is tantamount to applause. #Venezuela

"I'm a proud Muslim, coloured boy from Pakistan, who was told that he would never play for the Australian cricket team. Look at me now. And you can do the same." What a legend. Thank you, Usman.

Pauline Hanson, who never stops ranting about “elites”, is in hot water after failing to declare a ride on Gina Rinehart’s private jet to attend a cooker conference in the US, breaching parliamentary rules requiring declarations of gifts from multibillionaires. 🙄 #auspol

With heavily armed police on the streets, Chris Minns says Sydneysiders should go out on NYE as an “act of defiance against terrorism”. I’m against terrorism, but I’d rather go out as an act of celebrating the new year. Lucky I don’t live in Sydney. #auspol

Yes, the news is true that while investigating CBA for bombarding customers with spam SMS, ACMA agreed to a special request by CBA to avoid exposing them publicly & keep it secret until after the bank’s AGM 🚩 Another useless regulator #Abc

So many hypocrites on antisemitism but the biggest for me is Tim Wilson who was called out by Jewish Australians for siding with Holocaust deniers in trying to repeal 18c of the Racial Dis Act. Wilson argued against “using the law to prosecute deniers.” www.australianjewishnews.com/new-commissi...

Just wondering have any RW politicians or the mainstream media currently demanding Australia have a Royal Commission into Bondi ever asked Israel why they won’t conduct any form of inquiry to investigate the events of Oct7? Bcoz it would be extremely hypocritical if they didn’t. #auspol

It’s hard to take the Coalition’s calls for a Royal Commission into the Bondi incident seriously after they fiercely opposed a RC into their illegal Robodebt scheme, then refused to apologise even after the damning findings confirmed Australians lost their lives. #auspol

It’s extraordinary how quickly the media can mobilise & demand government to act on certain issues. Imagine if they had that same urgency for First Nations deaths in custody or women killed by men.

Sussan Ley whose govt fought tooth & nail against the Jewish community by trying to normalise racism & antisemitism in society when trying to weaken the Racial Disc Act says she finds the PM’s response to antisemitism “patronising” How do you find her response? #auspol

Another First Nations woman dead in police custody taking the total to 59 Indigenous deaths in the hands of police in just 2 years. We have shown how quickly we can act against racism towards Jewish Australians. Why has that same urgency never existed for First Nations ppl?

The NACC has defied the odds by going back-to-back 🏆🏆 After another year of doing absolutely nothing, congratulations on retaining Stranger’s Useless Govt Agency Award. Consistency is key 👍

Chris Bowen on #ABC Radio blasts Sussan Ley after she accused Penny Wong of “not shedding a tear” over #Bondi, calling her comments “pretty disgusting.” 💥 “Sussan Ley is not the arbiter of grief or mourning, & she does not get to decide how people express that grief.”

PM Albanese calls on the Coalition to get their act together & stop playing politics with the #Bondi tragedy. “My message is that this is not a time for partisanship.” “This is a time for national unity.” “After the Port Arthur massacre, that is what occurred.” #auspol

NSW Premier Chris Minns grilled on what ‘intifada’ means & why he’s banning it. Refuses to explain but insists it’s being used ‘here in Sydney’ & is an ‘invitation to violence.’ 🤔 Really? #auspol

Sussan Ley spent the press conference blaming the PM, then turned on Penny Wong. Totally over the top. Not a good look. Disgraceful. #auspol #bondi

Sussan Ley lashes out, claiming a Jewish child was abused on a school bus while “everybody else… said nothing!” & “all looked the other way!” Sussan, stop making up stories to justify your confected outrage. Australians are NOT like that. #auspol

While in Opposition, Albanese backed the Jewish community against the LNP govt who tried to undermine them by weakening hate speech laws. In govt he’s given them the strongest protections a PM has ever implemented. Anyone booing clearly listens to too much of Sky News or the AJA

Albanese fires back💥 “I’ve been defending the existing anti discrimination laws which the Coalition for a long period of time said was an attack on Freedom of Speech & tried to remove them” #auspol #Bondi

“Ahmed Al Ahmed. He saved my life & my 4yr old” “I can only say thank you to that Muslim brother” This is what the media should show. Messages of unity & hope from survivors. Despite that it’s not the answer this Sky News journo was seeking. #auspol #Bondi

Bridget McKenzie has a lot of nerve lecturing the government on antisemitism after she did everything in her power to water down section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act. She was hoping to make racism & antisemitism a matter of “free speech” #auspol #Bondi

After a staged performance & blaming the PM for the actions of #Bondi attackers, Josh Frydenberg snaps at the question on everyone’s mind. Sarah Ferguson “How do we not see this through a political lens?” Frydenberg, having already personalised blame, can’t handle it #abc730

Compare the pair & how different leaders respond to a deadly national crisis. #auspol

John Howard made Australia a target for terrorism by illegally invading Iraq & contributing to the rise of ISIS who went on to radicalise the Bondi attackers. He should apologise to Jewish Australians, and all Australians. #auspol

David Littleproud clearly getting nervous at the prospect of stronger gun laws has labelled gun sale restrictions a “cheap political diversion” by the govt to the Bondi attack. Does he realise one of the terrorists legally owned six firearms? I think he knows but doesn’t care.

You can throw in more funding, create new laws & establish as many taskforces as you like to tackle antisemitism, but until Israel stops slaughtering innocent Palestinian men, women & children, and stops stealing land, the underlying problem will always remain.

PM Albanese pays credit to “true Australian hero” Ahmed al-Ahmed. “At a moment where we have seen evil perpetrated, he shines out as an example of the strength of humanity.” Absolutely he does. Thank you Ahmed. #auspol #abc

Why hasn’t Jillian Segal paid credit to Ahmed al-Ahmed after his heroic efforts saved countless Jewish Australian lives? Is it because he’s a Muslim?

Nobody can explain how Australians peacefully marching against Israel’s genocide could cause anyone to commit such shocking acts of violence, so it would be nice, & not undermine police investigations, if politicians, the antisemitism envoy & the dreaded media stopped lying.

Laura Tingle says you have to look at Netanyahu’s reaction with a grain of salt after he blamed Albanese for the Bondi attack. Says he’s the only leader trying to link it with Australia’s support for a Palestinian state while still can’t explain how Oct7 occurred on his watch💥 #Abc

Disgraceful of Jillian Segal to use the Bondi attack to demand “acceleration” of her abhorrent recommendations & already point fingers w/out even waiting for police to uncover any details, esp when she failed to ever stand up against the worst antisemites around, the Neo Nazis.

If the reason Linda Reynolds sued & bankrupted a rape victim was to save her reputation then she has spectacularly failed. She might have money but has no friends or credibility & her actions have only ever grown Brittany’s supporter base. Reynolds is no winner. #fatcow

After Commr Brereton rates NACC 7 out of 10, David Shoebridge reveals a shocking case where survivor of child sexual abuse had her case against AFP botched by NACC who apologised “for not using relevant evidence” “Do u stand by your 7/10 rating?”🔥Shameless Brereton stands by it

Sarah Henderson dealt a blow after asking if NACC can review their decision not to investigate Brittany Higgins’ settlement. Commr Brereton says nobody inc Reynolds has made a request to review their decision & that regardless there’s nothing to suggest the decision would change

🔥Things heat up as David Shoebridge skewers NACC Commr Brereton for not even meeting the “minimum expectation” on conflict of interest after his secret IGADF role was exposed, as Brereton says he didn’t have to tell colleagues why he recused himself, but they “knew” anyway.🤦‍♂️💥
