An interesting reply to James McGrath:
"Alright, here we go. Gloves off. Brain on. Bullshit tolerance at zero.
So this absolute click-baiting masterpiece comes from James McGrath, who’s out here pretending he’s “fighting for answers” while doing what the Liberals do best: weaponising grief, lying by omission, and hoping nobody actually remembers how government works.
“Wot. The Prime Minister is the only person who doesn’t want a royal commission?” WOT.
Yeah mate, because that’s how reality works. One bloke just standing there, arms crossed, stopping the entire Commonwealth like some Marvel villain going, “Nah, no commission for you.”
That’s not how any of this works, you absolute clown.
First off, let’s torch the biggest lie right up front. Anthony Albanese is not “the only person” who doesn’t want a royal commission. There are already multiple investigations, coronial inquests, judicial reviews, and law enforcement processes underway. You know, the things that actually gather evidence instead of producing a $100 million press release with a sad cover page.
A royal commission is not a magic truth wand. It doesn’t resurrect the dead. It doesn’t instantly fix security failures. And it sure as heck doesn’t stop future attacks by itself. What it does do very well is let opposition politicians stand behind a podium pretending they give a toss while cameras are rolling.
Now let’s talk about the most disgusting part of this post. “Has he forgotten that 15 people were murdered by Islamic extremists?”
You slimy, opportunistic terd.
No, he hasn’t forgotten. Nobody has forgotten. Families haven’t forgotten. First responders haven’t forgotten. Communities haven’t forgotten.
But you know who’s happy to drag corpses into a Facebook post like they’re campaign flyers?
You are.
This is classic Liberal Party. Wrap yourself in tragedy, slap a flag emoji on it, and scream “LEADERSHIP” while offering absolutely nothing concrete. No policy fixes. No funding commitments. No operational changes. Just vibes and outrage.
And the hypocrisy is so thick you could butter toast with it.
Where was this burning passion for royal commissions when the Liberals were in government?
• RoboDebt killed people. You fought tooth and nail against accountability. • Aged care was a horror show. You ignored warnings for years. • Bushfires burned towns off the map. You buggered off to Hawaii. • Veterans were killing themselves. You buried reports.
Suddenly NOW you’re the accountability guys? Get absolutely cranked.
And let’s be very clear, because this is where these posts deliberately mislead dumb people.
A Commonwealth Royal Commission does NOT automatically make Australia safer tomorrow. It does NOT override police work. It does NOT replace intelligence agencies. It does NOT magically uncover secret facts that don’t already exist.
What it DOES do is take years, cost a fortune, and give politicians something to point at while they avoid doing the boring, hard work of legislating, funding, and fixing systems.
But hey, “👊” emoji, right? Problem solved.
And the line “When will he stop protecting himself and start putting Australians first?” Protecting himself from WHAT, you effing drongo?
He wasn’t in power when the failures occurred. He didn’t design the security settings. He didn’t oversee the agencies involved. But you know who WAS in power for nearly a smacking decade before him?
YOUR SIDE.
And here’s the part that really cooks me.
You don’t actually care whether a royal commission is the best tool.
If Albo announced one tomorrow, you’d immediately move the goalposts. You’d say it’s too slow, too weak, too narrow, not tough enough, wrong commissioner, wrong terms of reference, whatever bullshit focus group fed you that morning.
Because this isn’t about justice. It’s about clicks. It’s about rage. It’s about exploiting fear.
So spare us the faux-concern and the tough-guy hashtags.
Australians don’t need more Facebook tantrums from politicians treating national tragedy like engagement farming. If you genuinely gave a crap about Australians, you’d be arguing for concrete reforms, properly funded agencies, transparent timelines, and evidence-based outcomes.
Instead, you’re out here yelling “ROYAL COMMISSION” like it’s a effing Pokémon card and hoping nobody notices you’ve got nothing else in your hand.
Leadership isn’t shouting. Leadership isn’t finger-pointing. Leadership isn’t exploiting dead people for likes.”
wow - this MP deserves win a go at the Leadership!
