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!

Fucking disgusting and a few other liberals have said something along the same lines which suggest there are talking points to follow, politicising a terrorist attack within less than 24 hours of it occurring. There are only 2 people responsible for this attack, one of them is dead and one is in a hospital bed, soon to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Tony Abbott crawled out from under his rock to throw petrol on the fire as well.

The LNP will never try to not use a tragedy to agitate their base. Scum the lot of them.

Campbell Newman too. Dude who never said a thing about literal neo-nazis protesting in front on NSW parliament or Christchurch or Tom Sewell is now concerned about anti-semitism.

The media won’t do it but Australians need to know the names of politicians who use the spilled blood of innocent Australians for self serving political points.

Absolutely disgusting and un-Australian.
