I'm sorry.... I agree with you
I think you've disagreed with me. There could be reasons ASIO is unable to send information to the NSW government, and there might be no legal basis for the firearms registry to act on it.
That isn't to say ASIO do not have questions to answer, just that they might not be the whole answer.

This is beautiful indeed
Ben Phillips post- ( from X)

“This is beautiful. The smiles! Bondi beach hero Ahmed Al-Ahmed with the doctors looking after him at the hospital in Sydney.

And…

The doctors are *also* Syrian!

Tamer Al-Kahil from Homs.
Anas Natfaji from Aleppo.

*Three* heroes.”

Well, war criminals do stick together. Both responsible for war crimes and working to a vile Zionist agenda and their New World Order.

This is criminal. Don't visit the USA it could cost your life. ICE detention = mouldy food, lack of water and hygiene, physical and mental abuse and lack of medical care
Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
 
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

He's a fool and nothing will change that
The Bondi shooting was a tragedy and my heart goes out to the Jewish community. But how on earth does Chris Minns think that banning pro-Palestine rallies will solve anything? Israel continues to slaughter innocent people with immunity, and he wants to stop people demonstrating against that? #Auspol

I totally agree with the Jewish Council here.

I will continually speak out against the Netanyahu Govt’s killing of 20,000 innocent children in Gaza.

That appalling action has caused so much anti-semitism around the world.

Although tightening gun & hate speech laws is welcome, it’s hard to draw a line to how they would have stopped the Bondi shooting.

The shooters were Australian citizens.

They were gun club members.

They didn’t publicly profess hate speech.

I don’t think I’m being alarmist. If anything, I worry that we’ve become so inured to Trump’s madness that we’re not alarmist enough.

Trump must be removed from office as soon as possible. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-threat-of-trumps-madness

3 in 4 AUs hold negative prejudices against Aborigines. 11 out of 12 their kids experience racism. They asked for a Voice to Parliament. One family gave Advance $50k to help 9.5M AUs to vote against First Peoples. Why & how did the Jewish community get A Voice b/c of 'antisemitism'? Please explain.

Australia has a glorious history of protest marches. Pressure brought to bare helped end the Vietnam war, the Springbok tour, hell, even the right to march in Qld. They sadly don't all end with success e.g. the illegal US invasion of Iraq, but impinge on our right 2 march at your peril Chris Minns.

There remains no explanation of any kind as to how protests somehow directly led to two jihadists buying six rifles and murdering innocent civilians at a beach.

Australian media is so packed with angry racists that they won't ever ask for one

I can't stand Frydeberg and his attempts to use this tragedy to further his potential political return.
He is disgraceful and #ABC730 Sarah Ferguson had every right to challenge him on this.
