Albo just got booed at the memorial for the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting.
I immediately felt sick.
I’m also angry that this tragedy has been so politicised.
Albo is not to blame. The Labor government is not to blame.
Hateful extremists ARE to blame.
We need unity. Not more hate.

As I have watched the Day of Reflection event at Bondi, I have grown increasingly concerned with the tone and tenor of the speeches. I am particularly concerned by the President of the Australian Council of Jewry claiming that all Jews at the event are “proud Zionists”.

The focus on Clinton raises questions about how curated the files were

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
