THIS. If it wasn't for the gun law legislation post Port Arthur (and credit where it's due) Howard would be one of the most reviled PMs of all. Weaponised racism for political gain instead of slapping it down and Australia has paid an enormous price for 30 years as a result.

A man threw a bomb into the crowd at an #InvasionDay rally in Perth on 26Jan. The device contained explosive liquid, ball bearings and screws. Fortunately it did not explode. Could ABC News' headline make a greater effort to undersell the seriousness of this attack?! THIS is also terrorism. #auspol

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10
