It seems JD in anxious that the nation NOT look too closely at the causes and enablers of radical Islam in Australia because it will reflect badly on his gurus.

mhaze,

It seems you're not very good at reading tone. Nor content, for that matter.

I didn't argue against examining radical Islam. I argued that a years-long royal commission is structurally incompatible with claims of urgency, and that urgent threats are normally addressed through intelligence reviews, policing, and targeted reforms.

Calling that "anxiety" or invoking imaginary "gurus" is just motive-guessing to avoid the process question.

If you think a royal commission is the fastest or most effective way to deal with radicalisation, explain how. Otherwise, this is just character assassination standing in for an argument.

John Daysh,
What is there to examine ? Blatant being in our faces everyday doesn't need examining, it needs repatriation !

I wasn't talking about an RC to "to deal with radicalisation". Nice attempt at changing my point, but your tactics are tooooo easy to recognise these days.

A Royal Commission is not an option, it's a requirement. Terrorism is not a state issue, it's a federal issue. Albanese and Wong have blood on their hands. You too Turnbull and Morrison. It's time to get all their dirty linen out for a thorough public airing. Expose the corrupt (Lib and ALP) immigration ponzi schemes and vote stacking rorts. Make the creators of this horror event face public scrutiny and make them pay the price for creating this shocking evil monster, who has only just begun to play in our backyard.

mhaze,

Then we agree on something important: a royal commission is not a tool for dealing with radicalisation.

Which brings us straight back to the point you keep avoiding. The case being made for an RC is framed as urgent and existential. Royal commissions are neither.

If your argument is now that the RC wouldn't be about prevention, urgency, or operational response, then the urgency rhetoric collapses.

If it is about causes and enablers, explain why a slow, years-long inquiry is preferable to existing intelligence, policing, and security mechanisms.

Accusing me of "tactics" doesn’t answer that dilemma, and pretending that this mystery "tactic" has precident doesn't disguise that.
