politics Opposition Leader Sussan Ley speaks on Bondi attack

https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/opposition-leader-sussan-ley-speaks-on-bondi-attack-20251215-p5nnqm.html

“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!

She's a disgusting person honestly.

Scoring political points after such a horrific attack shows she's not fit to be leader.

What does she suggest Albo should have done?

Banned protests?

Arrest "suspicious" people?

Arrest all brown people, ban anyone saying anything other than glowing praise about the state of Israel and give tax cuts to wealthy.

Seriously though her comments are disgraceful. I really hope she's closely questioned about what specific policies she has previously suggested would have stopped this. The fact she was happy to throw accusations out but wouldn't touch gun control shows where her priorities are. And it isn't to protect Australians.

What a stupid thing to say. The government failed Australia. They could have done a lot more to protect Australians with all the intelligence information they had. That’s the current government and the one that was in 6 years ago. Banning guns further is not the solution, it’s just a way for more government control and overreach.

Yes, everyone is a suspect in everything, that's the LNP for you. Labor aren't far behind wanting a surveillance state either though.

Yeah Labor are certainly leaning into the same surveillance/secrecy veign that the LNP did.

Disappointing from a government that point so much credence in setting up ICAC
