What is needed is an independent review. As Avi Yemeni said, Trusting an arsonist to put out a fire is not a good strategy. Trusting a gang of arsonists would seem idiotic.

Bring on the RC.

"Neither does a game of football include murderous moments where losers let loose with a hundred rounds of projectiles, deliberately aimed at their perceived enemy which is unarmed and defenceless on the opposing team. That circumstance is not in any rules of sport."

Yes it is, ask the Jews who shoot kids in Gaza, choosing which part of the body to target each day.

Narrow minded hypocrites
Jews cant complain about a single thing done to them without opening themselves up to counter grievances for things they've done to others.

Hi AC,

Remember that the Palestinians are armed to the teeth and brainwashed with genocidal antisemitism from birth thanks to help from Russia and China delivered via the oppressive theocracy of Iran.

I'm more concerned with the crimes of the Iranian regime against its own citizens. I suspect that without the help of Russia, the regime would have been overthrown long ago, and more probably would not have existed.

Profoundly true.

What she highlighted in the video, is why we are in such deep water with this government.

Minns is not off the hook with his displays of pure regret either.

It was his city of Sydney displaying the most disgraceful exhibits of gutless political rule and corresponding policing in Australia on Oct 8 th ‘23; ticking off as acceptable, Islamic riots in front of Sydney Opera House, calling for the gassing of Jews and other outrageous calls for their death on our streets: Their official answer? The word “gassing” was not audible.

Even to someone half as deaf as myself, the words were unmistakable and quite obviously chanted in an accent which was used to excuse the Western Suburbs Caliphate of their appalling behaviour.

This exhibit by the Muslim crowd at the Opera House, was then followed by the merry band of supporters of terrorism that crossed the Harbour Bridge in a disgusting show of cowardice and surrender to terrorism, waving ISIS flags and a portrait of the Ayatollah Khomeini.
That one again on Minnses shift. What a sick and pathetic joke!

And I’m one who is not so stupid enough to believe the cynicism of Muslims and their apologetic clap trap following the Bondi massacre as being in anyway genuine.

And again, Goldi is correct, this is a religious war waged by Muslims par-see against Australians as Christian, Jew and callithumpian all.

We are totally undefended against this band of vicious seventh century nut cases.

dan,

I put in the Goldie link as a positive example of immigration and of people being human beings rather than ethnic stereotypes. I think her a bit too effusive about the Shah, but I can always listen to an optimist for humanity.

On that note I believe that Minns is acknowledging that mistakes were made and is showing a willingness to make meaningful changes. For that he gets a thumbs up from me. Albo is another matter. Was he opposed to a Royal Commission into Robodebt on the basis that an internal investigation would have been faster and as effective?

There is good reason why Minns was acknowledged and Albo was booed at Bondi. At least he showed more character than Pong and Burka, not that that says much.

JD,

You're the only one raving about urgency. I never have.

You claim that since we all want an urgent solution, the RC is inappropriate. But urgency is your thing, and you've only introduced it in a vain attempt to find a reason to excuse the authority's attempts to avoid scrutiny.

Well I'm fine with taking all the time necessary to get the real answers and then make informed responses.

"On your claim of "independence": a royal commission does not bypass intelligence and police agencies. It relies on the same records, witnesses, briefings, and classified material. If those institutions are as captured or incompetent as you assert, an RC doesn't fix that problem, it just interrogates it more slowly and publicly."

Oh dear, now you're showing yourself to be woefully ill-informed and/or lacking any historic knowledge. Any number of RC's have been held that examine police and other authorities using their own records, and have managed to delve past the arse-covering of those groups. The very nature of an RC is that it can compel evidence, evidence that some are trying to hide.

The very fact that Albo and the Feds are trying to avoid an RC shows that there is evidence to be hidden. Why did their investigation into the perpetrators ISIS links get dropped? Why were they permitted to have guns, knowing of those ISIS links? Why were they permitted t travel to a known ISIS hotspot, given those links? The Feds have said over and over (at Albo's instigation) that their main concern was with right wing groups. Were they too distracted by that to look at the real threats?

All of this would be examined by an RC and ignored by an internal investigation.
