"Each new year turned to the old year and said, "Hold my beer." So, I feel a sense of dread." Amen!

They should totally do this. Crowds will line the streets holding flowers for them, and signs saying “welcome liberators” and “thank you for your kidnappings” and “please take our oil for yourselves and keep the profits”.

Israeli president Isaac Herzog should be banned from visiting Australia and I support all protests against him

The saddest thing I read all day, the thing that broke me, was reading that one of the things Tatiana Schlossberg regretted most was that she (her illness) was one more trauma her mother had to endure.

In absolutely no way, shape or form should anything resembling or approaching a private militia be allowed to operate in Australia with any government imprimatur. This is kicked in the head by a donkey stuff www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Ok, this breaks my heart and a little of my spirit. Tatiana Schlossberg has died. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

Thomas Keneally putting into words exactly how I feel. “Attacks such as these are designed to shut up debate; to drive one side to a rancour, & serve to make government more radical, while encouraging acts of radicalism from one’s own side so that the cauldron boils over, stoked from every side.”

“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

Ben Phillips post- ( from X) “This is beautiful. The smiles! Bondi beach hero Ahmed Al-Ahmed with the doctors looking after him at the hospital in Sydney. And… The doctors are *also* Syrian! Tamer Al-Kahil from Homs. Anas Natfaji from Aleppo. *Three* heroes.”

If you want to have fun, go back a read the speeches by Liberal MPs during the Racial Discrimination Act 18C debates eg "If we have the state regulating our speech, you also have the state regulating our thought, and I think that looks a lot like 1984". parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/sea...

“If we’re to emerge from this awful spiral,” writes @jeffsparrow1.bsky.social, “we’ll only do so on the basis of a very different politics: one that takes for granted the ability of ordinary people — of any race, gender or creed — to unite against racism and violence.”

It's a very good read. I'd love to hear Sava's thoughts on the current Liberal posturing post the Bondi tragedy. Frydenberg rises to accuse the PM of personal capability, Howard up from his bier to dog whistle Ley insinuates herself at Jewish funerals.

This country is not those two. They were radicalised extremists. That’s the point. Extremism is by its nature rare. It does not grow from a failure of moral consensus. It seeks to shock the consensus that exists. Those suggesting otherwise for their own advantage betray the memory of this tragedy.
