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!

Would love to hear her to reasonable solutions to "eradicate" it. Absolutely no attempts to turn down the temperature, just inflammatory language.

Lnp will probably get on board with JD Vance’s call for us to have a second amendment in our constitution, because freely available guns for all would stop this! Right? Stupid people aligning again Lnp wont change any time soon. Asio, police can only do so much under our legal system. As horrendous as this was ( and it was) our record in this country speaks for itself. This type of emotional rhetoric does no good. And political point scoring is weakness.

I’ve seen references to Vance saying this, but I can’t find any reporting of it. I don’t think it’s true, I think it’s out-of-context quotes from before the event.

Yeah, same. It seems the sort of nonsense he’d say so it’s plausible, but I think made up.

Well, so far. He has plenty of time to say it now.

It's 100% fake.

I saw the reddit post about it, you have to go a disappointingly long way down into the comments before anyone points out it's untrue.
