"It is perfectly fine to feel rage towards the umpires..."

NO. It is NOT.

Please try to keep up, mhaze.

Urgency was not something I "concocted". It was the framing used by Prasser himself to justify escalation: a "present crisis", claims of policy "sidestepping", and repeated appeals to prevention all only make sense if the risk is live and pressing. You've now explicitly abandoned that framing.

On your core claim: reluctance to hold a royal commission does not prove evidence is being hidden. That's circular reasoning. Under that logic, any government hesitation becomes guilt by definition, and no alternative process could ever be acceptable.

Royal commissions can compel evidence, yes. They do not conjure facts that don't exist, nor do they bypass the same institutional records and security constraints they are examining. Their value depends on evidence, not on prior certainty that wrongdoing must be there.

At this point, your position isn't that an RC is the best instrument, but that only an RC that contradicts existing agencies would count as "independent". That's not independence. That's outcome-driven distrust.

We're no longer arguing about process. We're arguing about presumption.

#… 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.…#

That’s not character, that’s is simply a show of charisma. That’s what politicians do..sell second hand cars; they lie, they cheat, they cannot be trusted.

Let us see some real fight, send in the heavily armed police reserved for NY celebrations, to disarm Muslims in the Western suburbs of Sydney.
There are enough illegal weapons there to kick off an insurrection.
The Muslims in the Western suburbs are Australia’s untouchables, for all the wrong reasons.

If Minns were genuine, why didn’t he challenge the activist judge that wrongly ticked off the march across the Harbour Bridge and ruled against the decision of NSW Authorities to ban it.
Obviously collusion at work; It’s a joke.
Minns is no better than Albanese, he’s one of ”them”.

"On your core claim: reluctance to hold a royal commission does not prove evidence is being hidden. "

But it does point in that direction.

Only those who don't want to know the truth because it might be disadvantageous to their fondest held beliefs, don't want a thorough investigation

"Minns is no better than Albanese"

I disagree. Minns has said that he got it wrong and has authorised a royal commission to examine the matter. Albanese has done neither.

Not calling a royal commission is irresponsible in light of the existential threat to Australian Jews after years of government failure to address antisemitism.

At present, we cannot change the 'mental makeup' of people before they are born.
So, a significant number will continue to be born without conscience.
As a matter of interest, I think most animals are born without conscience to hinder them.
For the foreseeable future, it appears potential criminals and serial killers will be born.
So we cannot entirely prevent harm to people, or the senseless destruction of property.
We can only work to minimise it.
Intelligent application of the preset law is preferable to 'ostentatious' and 'grandstanding' investigations.
