Don't be fooled! This government cares not for the Jews. They only care about control. That is what they want.

Why bother with a royal commision?, the woods commission found pedos in the politicians and judicial system then got locked away for 90 years with no one prosecuted, its all a load of bs, the only people who are going to stop this garbage is us.

I’m glad the government stopped wasting time on energy, housing and NDIS fraud to finally address name calling and devastating effect it can have on feelings.

It’s a pity the RC will not examine the Albanese Labor government’s contribution to antisemitism in allowing pro Palestinian celebrations just after the October massacre of Israelis, followed quickly by their recognition of Palestine (wherever that is) against advice not to do so. Finally, they’re ignoring all the increasing violence targeting Australian Jews, which ultimately led to the massacre of 15 of them at Bondi Beach by Islamists. Albanese historical dislike of Israel ever since his University days is well documented.

Our Universities are the breeding ground for all the Left Wing, Woke thinking, taught by people who would not hold down a job in the real world.

Joel Burnie is passionately defending Zionism, and I have no issue with that, but Australia is my only homeland. It contains many generations of my ancestors. I am connected to my culture here, and my people. Why can I, as an Australian, defend my right to a homeland? My ancestors built this nation. They fought and died for the rights of Australians. None of us voted to have Islamic or Confucius Instites in Universities. None of us voted to have Australia snatched from us at warp speed under the guise of multiculturalism.
