Remember, Ley & news.corp et al aren't talking to you, or even about you. They're screaming at each other & mistaking the echo as a response.
Most Australians want to honour the victims, have stronger gun laws and to get on with their holidays in peace free of unhinged ranting (relatives excepted).

I picked this up second hand from Alley Tunes in Hawthorn in the late 90s. I'll have to dig it up, but I think there was a few "mysterious dreamy tracks" at the end of the CD. At the time I thought they were some weird bedroom demos by the curator of the compilation had stuck on the end.

Good analysis from Sarah Martin, but misses a key point:
if the Bondi massacre is being hijacked by culture warriors like Howard and the anti-immigration right, it's because that's how mainstream media chooses to frame it.
They are lazy or complicit. #auspol

John Howard’s dog-whistle intervention in gun debate all but dashes any hope of meaningful reform
In the absence of strong, swift action from Anthony Albanese, the former PM is shifting political debate from gun control to a divisive culture war

The Mitchell & Webb "are we the baddies?" meme is less effective now that an alarming number of people's genuine answer seems to be "maybe not, actually"

Takes a lot to surprise me these days.
But the Bondi massacre settling into the predictable lines of a classic Australian culture within 72 hours has caught me off guard
I'm genuinely stunned at a whole range of people politicising this so quickly and viciously
But the rules changed in July 2020

It's two weeks old, but I've used the new Metro Tunnel twice for work visits. Easily knocks off 20-30 minutes of walking/tram interchanges or the frustration of driving. Game changer.
Yet Fairfax looks down their tortoise shell specs and sneers. Losers.

Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄

Got meade redundant from a job and while unemployed got a call from someone looking to fill a position. Wasn't keen but got talked into it with "if you don't like it, leave with no hard feelings". ~17 years later still in the field.
