breaking news ... just in ........  studies appear to show that the major cause of Islamophobia is the number of killings carried out by Muslims in the west and elsewhere.....     in other news .....   in a push for removal of religion from the definition of terrorism, the Muslim community leaders in Australia said that not to do so would reflect adversely on the Muslim community ........    in local news...... Aboriginal leaders in the Northern Territory say that new bail laws for bashing your missus will impact massively on Aboriginal communities ...

We don't live in New Zealand, America or anywhere but here... we can only work on problems here.... the current head of ASIO - a political mate appointee and not a Joe - and a man who sacked twelve senior officers ... said that Anti-semitism, meaning against Jews, was the greatest threat.... not White supremacists.

I'm prepared to say he de-balled the joint by doing that, to suit his political masters.  I am astounded at the absolute weakness of their work - as weak as his chin - in this case.

They truly need me there to do some proper organising, but I said that about disaster relief which again went to a mate and favourite of the pollies and not on absolute merit.

No, all he had done is launch his next political campaign.  Deliberately on the back of this massacre of his colleagues.  And he pulled all the tear jerkers out.  Even making special mention of the name Matilda for special effect.  And of course, 'Holocast survivors' were among the victims.  (How can that be.  Any adult Jew who was part of that would be long dead by old age now.  Maybe there are some who were very young infants who are still alive, but it is typical of the 'victim' propaganda that the words are pulled out by political players.)

Was he bitching and moaning at any failure of Netanyahu to prevent the October 7th attack by Hamas.  Was that a failure of 'leadership' Freidenberg?

Yep.

I gotta say, one of the most disgusting things I've seen a politician do for quite some time.

Hard to judge which was worse - Frydenberg's pathetic attempt to gain attention or Pauline & Barnaby showing up for a photo op.

Grubs, the lot of them.

Netanyahu ventriloquised Frydenberg... The cameras missed Netanyahu's hand up Freydenberg's arse.

Like hell he wasn't.  He pulled out all the Israeli tear jerking, propaganda, tropes.  He virtually repeated on the 7.30 Report the very exact references (and in some cases the actual words) he blathered at Bondi.  His performance was that of a bloke wanting a political return, and he has his mantra ready.  It was very carefully prepared and no way was it off the cuff...from the heart.  It was pure tap dancing on graves for advantage.

He, yesterday's defeated man, did not need to say anything, publicly, at all. 

"If not now, when? If not me, who?"  Not his own work.  Pinched.

Truman said " the buck stops here"

meaning he wouldn't "pass the buck" (shift blame) but would make final decisions as President.

Albo - take note!

Can you say what Frydenberg's solutions for  'antisemtism' are?

I only heard (on radio) statements like "Albo should have done much more" etc, with no outline of  what  "much more"  would entail.
