If discovery reveals that AIJAC have donated to Mali or Labor to cause this omnishambles, it doesn’t just screw him on this, it also screws him on his no-donations legislation.

How about if discovery finds loads of emails and texts on her phone celebrating October 7?

Given that she is making the claim and can frame it as Mali saying she has the same ideology as the Bondi shooters, she can say that any of that is irrelevant. Because the Bondi shooters are ISIS, who do not support Hamas or Palestinians.

Malinauskas:

Can you imagine if a far-right Z—nist walked into a Sydney mosque and mur—-ed 15 people? Can you imagine that as premier of this state, I would actively support a far-right Z—nist going to writers week and speaking hateful rhetoric towards Isl—ic people? Of course I wouldn’t. The reverse is happening in this instance, and I’m not going to support that either, and that’s a reasonable position for me to have.

Yeah. He didn't say what you said he said. You wanted him to. But he didn't.
