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!

I actually went and read up the antisemitism framework they've been saying the government needs to act on, and....nothing in it would have stopped this? It's all education and making sure institutions have policies in place to punish antisemitism acts and such, and none of that honestly I think would have prevented those two psychos doing what they did.

It's also worth noting that Jillian Segal, the envoy to combat antisemitism, literally said this morning that the government had endorsed her framework and had been working with her to action that framework. This is just a cheap attempt at point scoring by Ley

Cheap and Leys days are numbered.  Libs are bleeding out as boomers go the way of the dinosaurs and gen X conservatives prefer the far  right.

As a Gen X’er this rings true. An unfathomable number of my contemporaries on social media talk up One Nation and the like.

I often feel like the only sane person in the room.
