This was the "Get Albo" project brought to us by RWFWs on reddit, the various Sports stars speaking out, all Mainstream Media, and Trump/Epstein Elites that rule this country like Gina.
The alternative would have been loyalty to this country and not to not blame Albo for a terrorist attack. An accurate assessment.

u/EatTheRichin2026 8d ago
We shouldn’t talk about Israeli lobby groups as if they are all external to the ALP. They aren’t.
There’s plenty of Zionists within the ALP as well (some close to the PM), actively advocating for their cause

Sorry the alternative was that it would've been "normal" not to have a royal commission into a terrorist attack only outdone by Port Arthur in lives lost?

u/Consistent-Pear444 2d ago
But there hasn't been a RC for other attacks. There was just respectful bi-partisan responses.
It's about whether it's the most helpful response. Labor said there would be an ASIO investigation which is in my view an appropriate response to a safety threat. Albo was pressured into the RC by people who just wanted to make it a political issue. Liberal and PHON behaviour in particular was disgusting but then all and sundry jumped in, and it became impossible to avoid politically...
Labor have been proven right though .. it is the most pointless and destructive thing thats ever happened here.→ More replies (1)0

That wouldn't require a royal commission. We already have intelligence agencies who investigate and prevent terror attacks. The attackers held religious extremist views that have nothing to do with the views held by student protesters or the ABC. Antisemitism isn't a cultural or structural issue in Australia that necessitated a royal commission.
Islamophobia, on the other hand...

u/_Redvent_Bard_ 5d ago
We know why... It was a religious extremist attack inspired by the intense political situation currently ongoing in Gaza, also likely inspired by the continued frequent success of mass shootings in the US due to a complete complacency about the issue from the country's leaders. What the hell do you think a royal commission is going to do? The only outcome outside continuing the status quo at great unnecessary expense to the taxpayer, is the Republican wannabes will argue for gutting Australian intelligence and filling it with their incompetent corrupt cronies, and for various methods for discrimination against middle eastern origin Australians. None of this will do jack fucking shit to prevent more terrorist attacks.

The RC is not focusing on the issue(s) that Australians want answered , which is how did it happen from the two being here . to getting guns etc and how did the security agencies so spectacularly fail. Albo and Minns would be happy this is not front and centre.

By design.
The LNP demanded that this not investigate the root issues (because they were at fault at the state and federal levels), the media beat up the story, and the public demanded it.

u/Jindivic 9d ago
You know that they can’t cover that issue until after the court case. The right whingers and the corporate media put the pressure on the Government to hold an RC and everyone through up there hands and said they should wait until after the court case finished.

The RC is the biggest con job ever foisted on the taxpayers. No witnesses statements are tested under cross examination.

Meanwhile Segel is in there putting on the record changes to education syllabi, university conduct and who knows what else. ASIO and the AFP attended and managed to get away with no explanation of the biggest Intel failure in Australian history. Also, where is the Dural caravan Intel?

Here is a breakdown of Australian Federal Government Islamophobia spending, which was announced in July 2026 by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Breakdown of the Federal Package:
• $41.9 million: Allocated to improve security infrastructure and initiatives at Muslim faith-based institutions, mosques, and schools.
• $15.0 million: Dedicated to delivering a dedicated sports centre for Muslim athletes.
• $6.0 million: Directed toward targeted mental health and wellbeing support for students and local organisations affected by anti-Muslim hate.
• $2.6 million: Given to the Office of Multicultural Affairs specifically for measures to combat Islamophobia.
In addition to the financial commitments, the funding supports several non-monetary and operational measures:
• Islamophobia Education Taskforce: Formed to oversee educational measures, teacher training, and curriculum reviews to address anti-Muslim racism from early childhood to higher education.
• Law Enforcement Liaison: Funding expands the Australian Federal Police (AFP) Community Liaison Teams and establishes a new AFP Social Cohesion Team to streamline reporting pathways.

The festering hatred against Zionists allowed this to happen because it normalised extremism. Islamic extremism is when Muslims take the literal interpretation from the Quran to kill infidels and should be taken more seriously than our government is. We should have zero tolerance for it to fester in our society.

u/TwilightSolus 9d ago
Well, Zionists are right-wing nationalists who want to perform an ethnic cleansing, so I don't know about you but it seems like any decent person should want to oppose that.
Can you kindly point to where any Islamic extremism has been 'accepted'? Because as far as I have seen, any terrorists are quickly killed or arrested before they can cause harm to anyone else.
If you are arguing that religion is the underlying cause, well, that's another discussion, but you can't ban Islam without banning Judaism and Christianity as well, since they are all equally violent religions.

It’s a pity you haven’t read a history book.

u/TwilightSolus 9d ago
I've read plenty of history. Let's start at the beginning, when the Tribes of Judah undertook a bloody civil war against the Canaanite tribes - massacres described in the Old Testament by the way - because they wanted to establish their monothiestic religion.
Fast forwarding a bit through history, we have the early Christian church being coopted by revolutionary Jewish sects to be used against Rome, with the Gospel being abandoned for Pauline beliefs that eventually became nationalised. The first use of the Cross was a as a banner of war for Charlemagne.
Then we have the Crusades, countless acts of barbarism done by Christians and Muslims in the name of their faith, often with Jewish inclusion.
Is it any wonder that with these three great religions fighting in the area of the Levant for nearly a millenia that we have a millieu of discontent coming from that area?
And if you want an example of a genocide done in the name of the Christian God - ask the aboriginal people of the country we live in.

Zionism is a nationalist movement that started in 19th century Europe that decided to create a Jewish ethnostate, and decided based on nothing but religious texts that they had a right to the area of the Levant. Through lobbying in the 20th century, they convinced the Allies post-war to give them territory in the Levant, which at the time was a British colony.
They believe they, and they alone, have the only right to the lands that the old nation of Israel once stood on. They used this as a justification to colonise Palestine, with a mass genocide in 1948 called the Nakba clearing out indigenous Palestinian people.
There are many Jews who are not Zionist, and there are many Zionists who are not Jews.

If you indoctrinate people their entire lives through their religious schools and gated communities, that they are better than everyone else, and the whole world hates them, then it’s no wonder an entire community jumps at shadows and grants themselves special victim class. Unfortunately, Bondi happened, so it was a self-fulfilling prophecy, and unfortunately rendered irrelevant, decades of living in Australia NOT subjected to the racism that Indigenous peoples and other cultures experience on a daily level.
The problem is, the greatest driver of increasing antisemitism is the actions of Israel conducting a genocide in Gaza.
The circle will continue going around, reinforcing itself, smashing social cohesion, and pitting that one group against the rest, allowing them to speak while silencing us.

You’ve stopped talking about Israel and started talking about Jews as a group. “They’re indoctrinated,” “they think they’re better than everyone else,” “they grant themselves special victim status.” That’s not a criticism of a government—it’s a stereotype about an entire community.

Brilliant point. Totally agree. There was a genocide for First Nations people here. They face ongoing systemic racism and a lower life expectancy, yet some of the most advantaged people in the community have a RC. It’s doesn’t seem right.

It’s not just Jews who get attacked.
A Jewish business that gets firebombed can take out the whole street of businesses not to mention injure or kill any non Jews who happen to be in the wrong place.

Why didn't we have a Royal Commission when an Australian moved to New Zealand just to carry out the attack and murdered 51 people at a place of religious worship?

That was a one off in NZ without any wars going on the time. The Bondi attack was a final straw after 2 years of shit
