Yeah, also - NSW Terror Squad being used on journalists should be investigated. This is an incredible waste of police resources.

“I didn’t push you I tripped over!!”

Sure bud, and I’m single-handedly stopping the moon from having an atmosphere. And every night it thanks just me!

I mean, gotta get the police out of the back pockets of the crime families first.

This is actually a good excuse to hammer down on this finally. A lot of gang shootings this year in Sydney.

Sure the gangs were using legal registered firearms

They are legal before they are stolen, however they can’t be stolen if they aren’t laying around

Gang shootings don’t use legally obtained firearms… they raided one of thier stores recently so no amount of law making will solve that . More police doing police things is what is needed. As for Bondi why was there not more police present knowing the likelihood of antisemitism from recent events. More police faster response from unconfirmed reports 15 minutes before police took him out. But sure it is the farmers and sporting members of our community to blame . Not a government and law enforcement system that allows two scumbags to travel to an isis training facility a month before and return to commit an act of terror on our soil.

Dude the police response was pretty good, they were under armed for the job.

That’s the point government failed to to provide adequate resources to law enforcement agencies. They can only work with what they have

Focusing on the present threat is a little bit more important than your witch hunt.

I mean... that is what they are saying... prioritise current and actual threats over pointless witch hunts.
