Anthony Albanese - How long? -3-

[sherb]

That would be a disaster. Some of her recommendations verge on outlawing thought.

Which wouldn't affect your standard modern day right-winger much to be fair.

Why?

He will read the room - ie country.

 

[sherb]

He’s going to cave. Doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

More like calling the bluff of all those clamouring for a RC.

Because those people will then find out that it will take years, cost a mint and not deliver the outcomes they are after.

I think you're just reading the front page of News Corp papers. As I said, there's no discussion among my social or professional circles about the need for an RC. I'd be surprised if anyone said it was the topic of choice at their last social catch-up. It might seem harsh to say, but people have moved on (cost of living, Venezuela etc) and will just accept whatever review comes in down the line.

Maybe, I dont think so, we'll see

 

[lizard man]

If he was gonna call for a RC he should have just done it straight away ….. saying no and then folding a couple of weeks later is his worst scenario, just looks really week

Do the Sky parrots even realise that Royal Commissions take public submissions?

They are shooting themselves in the foot.

Exactly. Be careful what you wish for.

The average Australian wouldn't even know what a Royal Commission is. I honestly don't know much. I don't have a personal opinion either way on whether one should happen for this. I do know that they take a long time, cost a lot of money, and have been both used and not used for different events past.

What I do know is, if the day after the attack Albanese called a Royal Commission, the Opposition and their cronies would still be rabbiting on about how Albanese is personally to blame and hold up something else as his fault. The DEMAND FOR A ROYAL COMMISSION is a political wedge, which they've looked for since 5 minutes after the attack. To be honest they've looked for it since the Liberal Party was decimated at the election.

The sheer volume of the outcry from Murdoch and co. makes this obvious.

 

[NSWCROW]

Maybe some of our esteemed sports / showbiz stars can chip in some coin for the RC ??


Australian's like you and me have been doing it tough, after all

Just don't ask Lachie Neale for coin at the moment.

The sheer volume of the outcry from Murdoch and co. makes this obvious.

This famous line from Voltaire has added meaning in these times. Where the same group of compromised powerful interests can bleat the same line as front page news across multiple outlets they own or have control over and make it sound like the herd has spoken.

'The more often a stupidity is repeated, the more it gets the appearance of wisdom.'

- Voltaire

No. Because he’s not a leader. How much admiration would he have attracted if he’d taken charge like Chris Minns did. But he’s never been a leader, only a fixer, a negotiator, a numbers man. He’s reactive, looking for the politically expedient path where he and his government can minimise their responsibility. If he does decide to hold a RC, watch for the restricted guidelines, the narrow terms of reference, “to speed things up” - read, to dodge and weave.

I'm not a huge fan of Albanese really, but he's clearly more than "a fixer and a numbers man". He's won two federal elections, the second one resulting in a massively increased majority and the decimation of his opposing party.

Which is ironic, given they claim to be willing to die for freedom of speech.

You can't help thinking that for a significant portion of the pro-RC crowd, this isn't about getting answers, it's about nailing Albanese.

Oh, totally.

 

[Markfs]

i think the empire wants albo out..and legislation to zip up any criticism of israel. An RC isn't required for that.

 

[Cookie]

Yeah, have the RC. It will identify many reasons for the rise in antisemitism. Netanyahu will be one of them.

I dont think a person from another race being racist against my race is valid justification for me to be racist. Thats eye for an eye morality.

[peetoo]

Pat Rafter, Chris Judd, Sally Pearson and Ian Thorpe are all left wing Labor voters, so this is interesting.

But I believe sport and politics should be unlinked, so I don't agree with this. Interesting to see how it plays out

Bec Judd is loud anti labor so they must have some interesting conversations

 

[Golden_6]

I'd be very disappointed if he caved on this. It would be weakness due to pressure from right-winged media outlets.

As others have said, anyone with half a brain could write a report in a few hours detailing the major issues causing the Bondi shooting. Just get on with fixing the issues instead of wasting months (or years) telling us what we already know.

He needs to call on his mate dan Andrew’s for the way forward

 

[kalex6251]

if he calls an inquiry* above and beyond what he already has committed to then he should drag media/social media coverage into the mix ..... its played a critical role framing this tragic event and needs to looked at (all media)

* what he has set up is more than sufficient .... but politics being politics
