Josh Frydenberg. Out of his depth.

Since Josh is launching his comeback, with the enthusiastic backing of the Australian media, time to revisit this.


Fried Fredo should really stick to his meme job at a big 4 firm cause this campaigner is useless politically and without old boys supporting him
 
If we use these arguments now then all it does is give conservatives an out whenever gun control is brought up immediately after massacres. They will simply repost the same memes.

We need more gun control. We need strong politics after tragedies as its often the only time strong reform can be achieved. But not if we attack politicians during these times labelling them as grifters. Attack frydenburg for coming up with the wrong solution and not the fact he is trying to come up with solutions during this time.

He’s not trying to come up with solutions. He’s also not a politician - nor is Howard. It’s totally transparent.

There is absolutely zero authenticity about what Frydenberg is doing.

He is using a tragedy to try to re-launch a failed political career. He still thinks he’s going to be PM.

Am I cynical? Maybe. But I’ve seen these ****ers too many times now (and no, they’re not confined to the LNP). They don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.

You get the respect you deserve and Frydenberg deserves precisely zero.

What solutions? He went on a political attack filled with hateful partisan rhetoric. That was his first response.

It wasn't about healing. It wasn't about understanding. It wasn't about a search for the truth.

The PM - like other PMs before him at times of national tragedy, both Coalition and Labor, spoke calmly when the cameras were rolling. His message was about supporting the victims and their families, the first responders and all who suffered that day and are still suffering. Focussed on moving forward - with a plan of action to help achieve that.

The behaviour of Frydenberg, Hanson and Ley et al was the complete opposite. It was about blaming the other side and opportunity to make political capital of a tragedy. And they're still at it.

You're right - using the word 'grifter' was inappropriate. It was much worse than that - shameful cynical, headline grabbing, politicking that tears at the heart of our national fabric.
 
This is interesting. I asked copilot if there were any documented comments from Josh Frydenberg relating to antisemitism for the two years after October 7, 2023. This is the answer I got:

So the bloke was so outraged by antisemitism in Australia he bit his tongue for two years.

He was happy to tell his own community that their concerns didn't matter when it was his own government that were trying to water down anti discrimination laws.


“I’m very sympathetic with many people, including in the Jewish community, who don’t want to see any changes to racial vilification laws. I can understand where they’re coming from.

“But I look at the practical outcomes of 18C as it currently stands and I don’t think that is producing an optimal outcome for our community, and that’s why I do support change.

“But we do have to proceed carefully in a considered way, and we do need to air and to ventilate some of the options that may be on the table.

Frydenberg said he has been on the record for some time supporting such changes to 18C.

“I don’t think the balance has been struck, I think that the threshold with ‘offend’ and ‘insult’ is too low,” he told Sky News.

He had spoken many times prior to Bondi. Many, many times. Over and over again. Almost like he was milking it. Almost like he was using antisemitism as a political football.

You couldn't be more wrong. AI couldn't be more wrong.

Josh has been writing articles in the Australian.
 
Albo is a weak gutted dog. Not hard to denounce what happened the steps of the opera house, or any other antisemetic incidents since that happened in Australia. Na let’s acknowledge Hamas I mean Palestin.

I will also join the chorus that declares you a degenerate. Albo's action remind me of the first two lines of "If" by Kipling, he has acted with relative grace and restraint when others have confused their own moral clarity for right action.

Frydenberg in particular, lacks moral standing when it comes to the abhoration of violence. His inability to condemn Israel's crimes within Gaza and the West Bank show a man with no moral centre, he called for Israel to finish the job with respect to Hamas irrespective of the harm that presented to Palestinian, Israeli and Jewish lives more broadly. He's given an extreme sectarian point of view and while I feel for his suffering it cannot be confused with leadership.

I would hear a 100 islamophobic comments for every random anti-semitic in neutral settings. I don't doubt that anti-Semitism is a everyday issue for a lot of Jewish Australians, however I don't think it is a prejudice held within broad swaths of modern Australia. I think that comes from a dangerous fringe and the attempt to conflate anti-war sentiments with anti-semitic tropes is an attempt at censorship. If Albo is to be criticised for anything, it is giving the people pushing this sectarian wheelbarrow far too much space.

I said before that any hate speech dragnet will inevitably sweep up the right wing nut jobs as much as anyone else and then they will return to harping on about freedom of speech.

He did.
