The AFR's Phil Coorey has posted an unhinged, unfactual, fear-mongering piece, falsely equating pro-Palestine protests with anti-Semitism, claiming they chant "kill the Jews". This has been proven to be untrue. Coorey's op-ed is unfactual and dangerous. 😠 #BondiBeachShooting

I fully support this statement released by the Palestine Action Group, in response to the murder of innocent Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach on Sunday. I am also deeply disturbed by the comments made by the Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal. #auspol #BondiBeachShooting

Australia had the ‘gold standard’ on gun control. The Bondi beach terror attack will force it to confront its surging number of weapons
There are now more guns in the community per capita than in the aftermath of the Port Arthur massacre, with at least 2,000 new firearms lawfully entering the community every week

Aged care reforms built on the myth of the cashed up boomer risk leaving those who most need support unable to afford it. Rising fees, a fragile Support at Home system and pressure on families point to a policy failure we will all feel, writes Kathy Eager @k_eagar #AgedCare #AusPol
A beginners guide to Australian aged care policy in 2025
Stereotypes about wealthy baby boomers are skewing aged care policy. New fees, the shift to Support at Home, and pressures on community services risk leaving many older Australians without affordable, safe support. The consequences will be felt across families, hospitals and future generations.
