Religion Bondi shooting - 16 confirmed dead at Jewish event

[Festerz]

Howard was the one that did all the heavy lifting, including having to alienate and introduce massive reforms in direct opposition of his own voting base.

Nope.

It was Tim Fischer, the then Leader of the National Party who did all the heavy lifting - because it was HIS supporter base in regional and rural Australia - especially in Queensland - who were the ones most opposed to gun controls. HE did all the work behind the scenes in negotiating with those with the most to lose from the reforms.

'Many Australians are alive today because of Tim Fischer'

Within days of the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, the Nationals leader and then-prime minister John Howard had started building a case to introduce some of the toughest gun control laws in the world.

Fischer went on to be one of the most vocal opponents of that ignorant racist Pauline Hanson and forge closer relations with Asia and rally against Islamophobia. The current leadership of both the National Party and the Federal Liberals are as far from his proud legacy as is humanly possible.

If you see Albanese speak and you dont see a truly evil, abhorent indiviudal with zero concern for anything other than his image, you are blind

Looks like you’ve been radicalised by Pauline Hanson.

How embarrassing.

Candace Owen’s is a holocaust denier. I thought you were against antisemitism?


Let’s see the flags then. You may have a misunderstanding of what an ISIS flag is.

Does John Howard have blood on his hands? Tony Abbott? Scott Morrison? Menzies?

Lol ... imagine defending Islamic extremism.

 

[Bloods86]

How many people have to die beforr you realise that reality doesnt align with your intersectional theory text book

Blah blah blah

Let me know when you've got more than cheap emotive ploys and the latest word from your script of buzz words.

Are we all happy about Israel bombing Lebanon?
Cool and normal?

Lol ... imagine defending Islamic extremism.

Imagine agreeing with Bibi

Four days on from the worst massacre in 30 yeards and Albo is still flopping about like a fish on the pavement. Nothing but mealy mouthed platitudes and deflection while avoiding any situation where he could get called out on camera by the public. Hopelessly unfit to lead our country and where for the love of god is Penny ****ing Wong?

He is a ****ing disgrace, and anyone who supports him is equally disgraceful. Every single Australian should be calling for his resignation.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Imagine agreeing with Bibi

Project more.

 

[Deliverance]

Because the government is full of evil men. Men whose power is secured off the back or the racist redneck vote in northern qld and who crave only one thing - the continuation of that power.

Or Israel lobby, or fossil fuel lobby. You could insert a few others as well.

“
The federal Coalition has formed an antisemitism and counter-terrorism taskforce made up of senior Opposition politicians.

The taskforce's members will include leader Sussan Ley, senators Michaela Cash, Jonno Duniam, James Paterson and Bridget McKenzie, and MPs Julian Leeser and Andrew Wallace.

"The terrorist attack at Bondi was an attack on the Jewish community and an attack on Australia itself. It was a line crossed that cannot be ignored," Ley said.

The federal Opposition has also put its contentious migration policy, which was expected to be released before the end of the year, on hold following the Bondi Beach mass shooting.

Speaking of avoidance, you've made some pretty bold unsubstantiated claims about government failings in recent days.

So for the third time... which specific actions has Albo failed to take that specifically led to or contributed to Sunday's attack?

If Albo's "failure" is an indisputable fact, it should be a straight forward answer.

Speaking of imagination

 

[Balls In]

The Australian Government is quick to deport influencers, cancel visas for right wing speakers.. but will (and has) done nothing about Radical Islam, the flying of ISIS flags on our streets, the hatred preached by Muslim clerics in public. The blood of those who died on Sunday are firmly in the hands of Anthony Albanese and Tony Burke

Not to mention upending 40 years of bi-partisan foreign policy by recognising Palestine. As Israel and the USA warned at the time doing this invited the slaughter of Jews by radicals as it rewarded Hamas for its massacring of Jews on 7 Oct.

Why did they form an opposition taskforce instead of offering a bi-partisan taskforce?

What good is an opposition task force on anything?

The post here left out that they just want Segal's recommendations enacted without having taken any time to consider what the impact might have been, probably just the result of out-lawing foreign policy as it pertains to Israel and stifling free speech.

Maybe those ****wits shouldn't have bought so heavily into AUKUS and kept better investment in the actual CTU instead.

Hey Hawthorn1971 seems like my comments criticising Howard, Abbott, Ley et al being held up by the media as a pantheon of reasonableness in dealing with the Bondi terror incident got you upset. Feel free to comment mate rather than dishing out the disagree emojis.

Just put them on ignore like I did

An opposition task force…. IM Sure this will be designed to bring people together??? FMD
What a pack of opportunists…
The LNP will dead within 10 years…. They stand for nothing.

Because they’re doing so poorly in the polls they’ve had to politicise this entire thing to try and make some ground back on both the ALP and ONP.

It’s just pure desperation unfortunately. And I suspect they’re being supported behind the scenes by the Israeli Government, albeit that’s just pure speculation.

Unlike Labor, who stand for Islamic extremism (or at least do not stand against it).

You will need to start providing evidence for these ludicrous claims.

To develop a policy I guess. It just wasn't clear what the post was referring to so I asked for clarity. The answer was "all of it".

One can question the stance, can question its motives, but the Opposition's stance on antisemitism has been consistent from October 2023. I think for any chance for bipartisanship on this issue to arise, the Opposition would feel that the Government is invited to agree with them on this issue in a bipartisan way, or not agree. Because the Opposition are giving all indications they believe this to be an issue that deals with right versus wrong.
