Many have existing/historical/forward long-term trade/finance (debts/investment)/military equip supply contracts/relations/dependencies on Russia. Some abstain on every conflict not directly involved in. Some client-states, some cowards, some scum, or corrupt leaders needing hiding place insurance.

That will work on most vehicles and all older vehicles, but I would still double-check that it won't cause problems on restart on some newer vehicles. I wouldn't be surprised to find annoyingly anti end-user stuff out there. More than just the stereos needing unlock codes, etc. in older vehicles.

Existing licensing worked well for 29 years. It's not the reason why the Bondi shooting occurred, and there's reasons to be very distrustful of motives.
Some small improvements to licensing are possible, but massive overhauls are NOT needed and doesn't increase public safety or national security.

Excluding the Bondi terrorist attack, and the Port Arthur shooting (1996) nearly three decades ago which already tightened laws massively; you'd have to go back to 1971 to find another shooting with double-digit deaths.
Mass shootings were just never a big thing in modern Australia.

Those comments by Hudson are misframed. He's referring to a subset of activity.
Anyone who believes/believed that one individual or just a small group is behind the widespread anti-Semitic, Islamo-fascist & neo-Nazi vandalism, online comments, etc. - would be an idiot.

Attempted intimidation like everywhere else, one would assume. As if that would work. Nazis and their friends should know that Aussies fight to the death before silence or submission.
I'm not even Jewish BTW, but my name is David. (In an Islamic country, Christian & Muslim friends called me Dā'ūd).

And I can guarantee you, anyone I catch drawing swastikas in my neighbourhood, will be summarily dealt with in the same way my family has always dealt with them.

Oh, and I'm sure foreign operatives were the ones who drew a swastika on the bonnet of my car too. 🙄
BTW, all of my family fought the Nazis. My great uncle is buried in Sicily, after he and Allied forces fought them across North Africa and drove them out too, while Palestinians aligned with Hitler.

You drained *MASSIVE* amounts of police resources every week, marching with Akram's network, and helping fueli the anti-Semitic and emotional environment driving months of attacks leading to that.

Should probably clarify, when I say they fear that people will "join neo-Nazis", I mean the *other* ones (with the banner outside Parliament a few weeks ago), not the Hamas Nazis that 'protestors' are already marching with.

You lot are so gullible.
Sure, people don't like to talk about all of the terrorists. Even govt fears that if they acknowledged it, people will join neo-Nazis (who deserve an oz of lead b/w the eyes), or vote a***holes like Hansen.
But it still doesn't change facts that you're marching with them.

You call it "marches for peace to end bloodshed". They call it a show of militant and allied force, a PR victory, to wipe Israel and Jews off the planet, and to indoctrinate and consolidate forces against Western societies.
Most Aussies would be better off staying out and not picking sides.

Also, "Men who gun down innocent people on beachfronts rarely join marches for peace to end bloodshed" statement is nonsense. It was well known to all, those protests were full of Hamas,IS,HTS,Hezbollah,IRGC,etc members/supporters.

Also, 9 minutes doesn't match with other accounts of the shooting starting at 6:47 and Naveed Akram being neutralised at 7:04. That's 17 minutes.
Obviously there are reports of ENORMOUS bravery by many officers & others on the ground. That's not the open question.
I'll wait for the final report.

NSWPOL have around ~130 officers trained on SIG MCX assault rifles, in their armory for this purpose. ~70 TOU + ~60 PORS. +Accuracy Intl SR98/AXSR snipers. Bearcats, etc.
How, given Threat Level and other intelligence, was not a single long arm pre-positioned on the highest risk date/group/location?

That guy is lucky to see one up close. Usually only see them at a distance, when they choose to reveal themselves. Up a tree, by moving or winking/blinking at you, usually cheekily, like "Surprise!😉". Or when they fly in, whisper quiet as an owl. I always nod & smile back. They are very cool birds!

If anyone thinks that terrorist networks in Australia don't work hand-in-glove with organised crime, or that they're not capable of getting hold of serious hardware through the same smuggling networks as tonnes of drugs, or that they're not involved in protests - really isn't thinking this through.

Speaking of older/previous Sydney protest organisers - Mohamed Elomar & Khaled Sharrouf were training boxing at George Alex's home, the guy who pulled the strings at CFMEU working with Comanchero boss Bilal Fatrouni. (A bit like Setka & Gatto teamed up in VIC). CFMEU organised antivaxxer riots too.

If you're wondering why, a big part is because people are living in echo chambers.
