I hope all Australians note that in spite of Netanyahu's insults and abuse of Mr Albanese our PM NEVER resorts to giving Bibi a free character assessment of his own. I know which style of leadership I prefer.

Thank goodness for this intervention. A timely rebuke of the uncritical treatment Netanyahu’s comments are getting across most Australian media.

The #BondiShooting is already being used by American racists to inflame Islamophobia.
With a Murdoch-dominated mainstream media and an increasingly aggressive political #FarRight, Australians need to be alert to the same. #auspol

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.
This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Passions are inflamed and tensions are through the roof. One of Australia's political parties is embracing their proper role examining Australia's current gun legislation to find areas of improvement, while the other pals around with the NRA and parrots GOP talking points.

DOG DEATH TOLL HITS 103 💔
Blonde Blur died before her second birthday, in her second race.
Her short life of exploitation came to an end last month on November 25 at Mandurah, WA.
Blonde Blur suffered a "fractured left calcaneus" and was euthanised.

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

Ugh. "quick wins" for Albo... Jane Norman's glib take on Bondi.
I really don't remember such shallow politicising of the Lindt cafe apart from the Right pretending the shooter was a Muslim terrorist
How I'd love to watch the news and not have my intelligence insulted every night

Additionally, gun owners who are registered to use their weapons at gun clubs only must leave & store their weapons at the club permanently. I'm happy for the government to provide financial assistance to gun clubs to upgrade their facilities so they can house the additional weapons safely.

personally, after this terrible incident, I would like to see another gun buy back scheme like they had after Port Arthur - Australians know how to come together in times of grief, clearly remember the 2003 bushfires in my home town of Canberra - everyone rallied and helped, we are community.

It’s so gross watching the tail-wagging excitement of Israel supporters in response to the Bondi shooting. They’re so happy they have another rhetorical weapon with which to bludgeon pro-Palestine voices into silence. They can barely contain their glee.

Apparently being Jewish means you're more intelligent than other people, something I find very hard to believe when I read to much belligerent Zionist claptrap. Most of their thinking seems like an Israeli version of One Nation with Danielle Weiss as their Poorlene.

For the Far Right politicians in Australia this horrible event at Bondi Beach is just a readymade wedge to skewer Albo. This is the ugly way such people think.
