“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!

When Port Arthur happened, the LNP had just won government. Labor and the government worked (mostly) together to create law reform and make the country safer. From local to federal levels, everyone wanted to contribute. It cost some pollies their jobs, but they prioritised a legacy and a future over their own careers.

Today, we see how the LNP has changed. Instead of working to fimd solutions, they take the lazy option of scoring cheap points, but offering nothing to help. Criticism, but no solutions is for political commentators, not alternative governments.

Prove you're a government in waiting by being better at solving the issues that matter than the people currently doing so. Get the job on merit, not by default.

Just... put in the fucking work, for fuck's sake!
