Why is power feared when it can be used for good? They called her dangerous because she was different, but maybe magic was never the real problem.

@StephanieKakos1 I'm not sure you understand the intent of RCs... RCs typically don't go into indiviual criminal cases, but systems, policies etc.

Agreed. A Royal Commission is too slow, too costly (in so many ways) and too unwieldy

Today at Bondi beach Australian sporting legend Dawn Fraser gave a speech for the ages. It will echo from the corridors of Canberra to the breakfast tables of Balmain. She specifically called out the lack of leadership from our Government and called on the Prime Minister’s to do the ‘right thing’ and call a Royal Commission into antisemitism and the events leading up to the Bondi massacre. She said: “Today I have flown to Sydney with my daughter for the sole reason to stand in unity with my fellow Australian Athletes to show my support for the Jewish community and to say: I’M SO VERY SORRY for my country and its leaders not protecting each and every one of you and your families, wonderful people that chose to come to this country and live in safety, peace, and inclusion, but on 14 December 2025 we failed you. In the 88 years of my life, living, loving, and representing this truly great country, I have NEVER seen so much hate and division, and this breaks my heart. We have always been a country of inclusion, diversity, and love, but unfortunately, that has disappeared. I will stand with anyone that loves my country, that respects my country, that wants to see my country prosper. I will also call out people that have done the wrong thing and who have not stood up for this great country. And to you, Anthony Albanese, Tony Burke, Penny Wong, come down off your high horse and stop trying to run for cover. If the Jewish community is calling for a royal commission, then do the right thing by this community that has suffered enough. This is not about the spineless and weak; it’s about doing the right thing.” To read Dawn Fraser’s full speech see 👇

Countless members of parliament, public servants and staffers past and present will be deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Lupco 'Luch' Jonceski. Luch was a true legend of Parliament House. In a place that can sometimes feel vast, impersonal and combative, he was always friendly, warm and helpful. He treated everyone with respect and was respected by all in turn. For four decades, Luch performed his vital role to the highest standard with the utmost professionalism. Yet he was every bit as quick with a kind word or a joke to lift your spirits and put you at ease. Luch was a great servant of Australian democracy and a wonderful human being. On behalf of the nation and Parliament Luch served, I offer our love and sympathy to his family and friends. May he rest in eternal peace.

A more serious media would also have sought the views of the surviving members of Australia's 1977-78 test cricket team, the Chantoozies, Dexter from Perfect Match, and the original cast of The Naked Vicar Show.

The Black Saturday bushfire royal commission's senior counsel says a royal commission is essential not only to seek the answers Australia’s Jewish community needs after the Bondi massacre, but to protect what the country stands for. theage.com.au/politics/feder…

In the face of the Bondi antisemitic terror attack, our Jewish community have responded with kindness and compassion. Through the One Mitzvah for Bondi campaign we urge every Australian to bring light into the world through an act of kindness. From checking in on a neighbour to volunteering your time in service of others, every mitzvah brings light into the world. And by standing together we show that hatred and violence will never define who we are. nsw.gov.au/community-serv…

Sorry, but Albanese urging Australians to light a candle because of Bondi is utter trash. I’m angry and frustrated - I don’t want to light a candle. I want Labor to show leadership and implement meaningful reforms.
