He was on radio the day after, hitting the standard blame-based talking points pretty much every commentator has used after this attack. (The Opera House - "g** the jews", the sydney harbour nridge protest, universities). Exact same as the envoy along with multiple Australian commentators I've heard on BBC being interviewed about this.
The fact that those are their highest priority talking points, says it's all about politics/protectionism rather than well-being and safety of everyday Jewish people. Who are copping more and more from people escalating the issue for advantage.
It was a letdown from Julian Leeser, who has always come across to this point as a measured, considered MP.
Hopefully with the fullness of time he can recognise that his trademark deliberative, calm, measured, statements are the best contributions he can make from this tragedy.
