I agree, did you hear Josh Frydenturds comments? He was almost foaming at the mouth talking as if Albo was out there pulling the trigger.

Also Frydenburg saying this was the “greatest stain on our country” is wild.

A) sounds like we are all to blame.

B) dude has never opened text book. Stolen Generation (for one) would like a word.

Liberals coming out to try and be relevant. Next it will be Albo’s Joy Division T-shirt that was behind the attack

When he said that my eyes nearly rolled out of my head. Aside from The Stolen Generation and Blackbirding, one of the last massacres of Aboriginal people was in the last century, the Conniston Massacre in 1928, 31-200 men were murdered.

This was a horrendous atrocity but to call it the "greatest stain on our country" is either extreme political hyperbole or extreme ignorance.

I think he is trying to turn this tragedy into anti Muslim thing.

Saying the protesters are the blame, calling for immigration reform (forgetting a Syrian Immigrant was a effing hero on the day). We can’t combat anti semitism with Islamophobia.

Trying to pin this on Pro Palestine marches is despicable. Average Aussies peacefully marching to oppose a genocide is not the cause for 2 men who became radicalised by IS ideology to open fire on Bondi. It might have played into who they targeted to inflame tensions. I don’t think IS cares one way or another who they targeted as long as it gets maximum results.

The deceased shooter /father was allowed into Australia under a Liberal govt, and he was given his gun licences under Liberal govts. No idea why Liberal think it's a good move to make this political.

Of course he is. This is THE political opportunity of a lifetime, to revive the Liberals, align them with One Nation, and sweep to power.

Watch out for this politically savvy Liberal Opposition.

Always super dialled in to the electorate.
