@GemmaTognini You’re allowed not to like him Gemma but the mental gymnastics you’re doing here makes me fearful you might sprain something. What would you do, Gemma?
Leadership isn’t omniscience.
Its presence, clarity & refusing to inflame grief.
In that respect, @AlboMP is showing up & somehow being blamed for showing up.
There’s a cognitive dissonance in watching a leader be punished for empathy.
An act of terror that was beyond anyone’s control is being retrofitted into a leadership failure…because uncertainty is uncomfortable & blame feels easier. #Bondi#anthonyalbanese
To the doctors, nurses and medical staff across Sydney, thank you.
After Bondi, you've been caring for those injured, comforting families and saving lives.
In the darkest moments, your strength and compassion have shone through.
Australia is deeply grateful.
We must remember that you can mourn the loss of innocent lives at #Bondi at the same time as expressing outrage at #Israel#genocide in #Gaza. Don't be cowered. Stand firm against those who are seeking to close down criticism of Israel
Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim father of two, risked his life to disarm a murderer who was shooting down Jews celebrating Hanukkah in Sydney.
Religion must not divide our common humanity.
We must stand together and end antisemitism, Islamophobia and all hate — no exceptions.
Intentionally killing innocent people is always wrong.
Wherever in the world it happens.
You might think everyone agrees with this simple moral principle, and yet far too many people, on far too many different sections of the political spectrum, try and make exceptions to it.
One day we will look back at the #MelbourneCup and wonder why as a society we allowed glorious horses to be mistreated, exploited & abused just so we could gamble & get drunk. There’s no entertainment to be had in the suffering of animals. They deserve dignity & safety like us
@noplaceforsheep 2. If we ignore the lesser evil, we risk losing any opportunity to influence policy that can help both American women and those abroad.
The reason it doesn't matter that Peter Dutton is a property mogul but it does matter that Albo is buying a beach house is that only one of them has a political brand of caring about social equity.
@GMakesoski@D_Melissa2 I think your comment is a bit of a straw man argument. The discussion around reproductive rights isn’t just about one extreme viewpoint like ‘killing babies.’ It’s about women having the right to make informed, personal decisions regarding their health and bodies.
