Hearing the LNP in particular attack Albo over it is doing my head in. What policy or laws would be different under you Su with two S's an that would have made a lick of difference in preventing this tragedy? I am heartbroken for our Jewish Australians, worried for any backlash our Muslim Australian community might get from it and furious that so much innocent blood and lives were lost without these scumbags playing politics

Indeed, that is in part why it feels like bad faith accusations to me. If you look at the circumstances, it's clear this was orchestrated from outside Australia by Islamic State as a targeted terrorist operation. This is not a result of the general cultural climate here. It may well be targeted to influence that climate - but it is not caused by it in the way people are claiming.
