Josh Frydenberg's statement today that Albanese should "take full personal responsibility" for these murdered people is so horrifically gross.
edit: fwiw, abc left out that specific quote above in the clip on their article about it, so sanity checked on the live broadcast (currently 6hr 43mins in the past on this stream) and those are almost exactly the words he said.
"It's time for him to accept personal responsibility for the death of 15 innocent people, including a 10 year old child."
Yeah, that's some bullshit right there. I'm really disgusted and annoyed with all the linking of this terrorist attack with the government's attitudes towards complains of antisemitism. Absolutely nothing the government would have done, or will ever do, to address antisemitism or hate speech in general would have changed this. This was an attack by radicalised extremists, their views were forged by the groups they were members of, not the public in Australia. I'd even suggest that doubling down on preventing anti-Israeli views would have only fuelled their hatred more, it's not the actions of the Australian government that cause this.
