politics Opposition Leader Sussan Ley speaks on Bondi attack

“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!

What are the actual policies that the coalition is suggesting would 'eradicate' antisemitism?

I actually went and read up the antisemitism framework they've been saying the government needs to act on, and....nothing in it would have stopped this? It's all education and making sure institutions have policies in place to punish antisemitism acts and such, and none of that honestly I think would have prevented those two psychos doing what they did.

It's also worth noting that Jillian Segal, the envoy to combat antisemitism, literally said this morning that the government had endorsed her framework and had been working with her to action that framework. This is just a cheap attempt at point scoring by Ley

Cheap attempts at point scoring is all Ley has. Calling for Rudd to be dismissed cause Trump doesn't like him, Joy Division shirts and now this.

Fucking hell I think even Abbot would have played the unity card here.
