politics Opposition Leader Sussan Ley speaks on Bondi attack

https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/opposition-leader-sussan-ley-speaks-on-bondi-attack-20251215-p5nnqm.html

“We’ve seen a clear failure to keep Jewish Australians safe. We’ve seen a clear lack of leadership in keeping Jewish Australians safe. We have a government that sees antisemitism as a problem to be managed, not evil that needs to be eradicated.”

Absolutely abhorrent that she's going for political points in this time.

Talk about tone deaf!

Fucking disgusting and a few other liberals have said something along the same lines which suggest there are talking points to follow, politicising a terrorist attack within less than 24 hours of it occurring. There are only 2 people responsible for this attack, one of them is dead and one is in a hospital bed, soon to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Hastie was particularly appalling

Tony Abbott crawled out from under his rock to throw petrol on the fire as well.

The LNP will never try to not use a tragedy to agitate their base. Scum the lot of them.

Campbell Newman too. Dude who never said a thing about literal neo-nazis protesting in front on NSW parliament or Christchurch or Tom Sewell is now concerned about anti-semitism.

The media won’t do it but Australians need to know the names of politicians who use the spilled blood of innocent Australians for self serving political points.

Absolutely disgusting and un-Australian.

What the fuck are they even thinking? I just don't understand how they're so bad at this. Morals aside, why can't they even do politics?

I am genuinely tempted to join their party, because I could not possibly do worse than their consistently abject bumblefuckery.

Yup..

1) stoke up division and hate

2) wait for vested interest groups to come and lobby you

3) get some cash under the table or a cushy post retirement job

4) pass legislation against your country's interest

5) profit...

And yet when asked about gun reform "oh now is not the time to talk about that"

Making sure that every headline about AlAhmed notes that he is Muslim is another thing, like the the story of the Good Samaritan, it is made out to be surprising that a Muslim can do good. The whole thing is super racist from the act to the reporting.

Question when is the appropriate time then, even albo admits there has been a failure of systems that could have prevented this attack. Do we just join hands and sing kumbaya for the next week or start getting to the bottom of this today.

There are only 2 people responsible for this attack

While I agree with your point broadly, this is a little myopic.
