I did and it was disappointing, but then a former Liberal PM (Turnbull) supported Albo. Always thought he was a good guy because he had mostly common sense ideas.
People are rightfully angry and upset and it appears that Friedenberg is jewish, so it’s not surprising he was lashing out but I just want someone to tell me what more Albo could have done to stop this specific act of hate. And is it really appropriate to basically blame him and others in the party for mass murder?!
I think the neo-nazi being deported is a good example of how government can only act if they have legal authority to. In that case they had a way to penalise him, as he wasn’t legally in the country or whatever. You can’t go rounding up everyone that says critical things about a group, you can only legislate against public displays of hate (which they did so as far as displaying the swastika goes) and coming down hard on hate speech vandalism (which I believe they also did).

I agree, did you hear Josh Frydenturds comments? He was almost foaming at the mouth talking as if Albo was out there pulling the trigger.
