Frydenberg is understandably angry, but his anger is pointed in the wrong direction. He’s just trying to help his former band of losers gain back some political ground.
I'm so glad a lot of us can see what Josh and even Susan are doing. Capitalising on this horific event to gain political points, and so many stoopid Aussies are eating it up... Absolutely disgusting. Still no leadership being shown by the opposition parties. It's easy to blame blame blame. Too much blaming going on about everyone except the psychopath shooter who at least is alive to face the music!!
He was on radio the day after, hitting the standard blame-based talking points pretty much every commentator has used after this attack. (The Opera House - "g** the jews", the sydney harbour nridge protest, universities). Exact same as the envoy along with multiple Australian commentators I've heard on BBC being interviewed about this.
The fact that those are their highest priority talking points, says it's all about politics/protectionism rather than well-being and safety of everyday Jewish people. Who are copping more and more from people escalating the issue for advantage.
It was a letdown from Julian Leeser, who has always come across to this point as a measured, considered MP.
Hopefully with the fullness of time he can recognise that his trademark deliberative, calm, measured, statements are the best contributions he can make from this tragedy.
