‘It is difficult to understand how an enquiry focused specifically on antisemitism, but which ignores Islamophobia, for instance, can prevent future terrorist acts against Jewish or non-Jewish people, or do anything but provide further leverage to those political actors that have sought to exploit a tragic event in order to divide us.’
‘Past tragedies like Port Arthur and the Lindt Café siege did not result in Royal Commissions – and nor have ongoing issues such as domestic violence against women and media ownership in Australia – which raises other questions about consistency and political selectivity.’

A Royal Commission too far? Power, pressure and the politics of Bondi
Was the Royal Commission into the Bondi attacks driven by genuine accountability or political pressure from right-wing interest groups?
The NSW premier is considering using the army to protect Australians from [checks notes]… Australians.
Fortunately, he does not have the constitutional authority.
He really is milking the fear granted him by the terrorists for all it is worth.

"To bring a democracy under authoritarian control, you need more than a strongman. You need politicians who will assure the public, as we slide toward one-man rule, that nothing odd is happening. That’s the role Johnson is playing in Donald Trump’s takeover of America."

"I’ve worked through shutdowns. I’ve witnessed them in Washington, and I’ve covered them for Pod Save America. What Johnson and the Republicans are doing—and why they’re doing it—is truly unconscionable.
It should be a national scandal."
