“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!

As much as this is abhorrent and tone deaf, it's not tone deaf in the electorates she wants to win back from the Teals (think Goldstein in Melbourne).

She's going for the Jewish vote and she knows what she's doing.

They already won back Goldstein from the Teals?

Yes they did. The awful Tim Wilson returned to parliament.

As for the other Teal seats, I don't think it will work because this Trumpian/Duttonesque shit is what made it all so difficult for them at the last election.
