Not overseas. Not online. Right here in Melbourne, in plain sight, at a centre funded by taxpayers. #auspol

Every woman should be able to go for a swim without being grabbed. If “I didn’t know it was wrong” keeps getting people off the hook, isn’t it time the courts stopped buying it?
> third worlder groping women at the beach
> called out for doing so, this is a crime
> "I'm new here"
These men will keep hurting women. And they will continue defending their actions by claiming they didn't know harassing women is wrong. And our fuckass judicial systems will keep letting this excuse work.
When is enough, enough? When do people realize there is no living alongside these animals?
Two attacks on worshippers in two days, and dozens dead. Why does this barely rate a mention here.
Friends, in just two days, Christians were murdered on two continents.
On Friday, gunmen opened fire on a funeral at St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Karak, Jordan, and killed nine people. On Saturday, armed men attacked Orthodox churches and homes in Oromia, Ethiopia, and killed more than forty.
These are not statistics. They are our brothers and sisters, members of the mystical Body of Christ. When Saul set out to destroy the Church, the risen Jesus asked him, “Why are you persecuting me?” The Lord is still being persecuted in these victims of anti-Christian violence.
Christianity is by far the most persecuted religion in the world today. Those of us who worship in comfort have to ask what the deaths of these martyrs demand of us. At the very least, they demand that we pray for them, learn their names, press our leaders to act, and refuse to look away.
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.
When a woman is allegedly killed, the headline shouldn’t read like an excuse.
Frances Crawford was doing everything possible to continue her relationship with Robert Crawford. He was constantly cheating on her, amongst other things. He is charged with Frances' murder and is now on trial. The headlines around her death are now heading into justification for murder territory. This headline from the Courier Mail reeks of clickbait. And it will make readers feel sorry for him and see justification in his alleged actions. No one just snaps when they kill women - violence does not happen in a vacuum!
If a quarter of the counter-terror jobs were sitting empty, someone should’ve been ringing alarm bells.
AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett has some serious explaining to do.
Former AFP Detective Superintendent David Craig has dropped a bombshell, accusing Commissioner Barrett of completely ignoring a “critical” whistleblower report that exposed a staggering 25% vacancy rate in the force's counter terrorism units before the devastating Bondi Beach attack.
The details raising concern include:
The Warning: Three specialist counter terrorism commanders took significant career risks to flag a 25% vacancy rate just before the national terror threat level escalated to probable.
The Response: Commissioner Barrett indicated in Senate Estimates that she was not formally advised about the document at the time, despite serving as Deputy Commissioner of National Security.
Questions remain over how such a critical resource deficit could be overlooked by top leadership.
The Inquiry: There appears to be a major disconnect between the whistleblower report and the Royal Commission's interim findings.
The public deserves full transparency regarding how senior leadership managed these warnings and what is being done to address these critical staffing shortages.
It appears that Krissy Barrett is our latest so called leader now running protection for Radical Islam.
What is happening to our country?
An Australian judge just let a violent rapist avoid prison time because he found that the culprit did not understand that rape was against Australian values and cultural norms.
What value do these type of people add to our society?

Just across the ditch, a historic church burned to the ground and someone’s been charged with arson. Are places of worship getting the protection they need?
Forty-seven people reportedly killed for their faith, and it barely makes a ripple here. Why do some attacks on worshippers lead the news while others get a shrug?
Nine people shot dead at a funeral, inside a church, while they were saying goodbye to someone they loved.
Why is this not being publicised more?
Thousands gathered today at St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Hamoud, Karak, to mourn, pray, and bid farewell to the Christian martyrs of Jordan’s church attack. Families and mourners joined the funeral procession in grief and solidarity.
The nine martyrs were killed after gunmen opened fire on mourners attending a funeral at the church on Friday, October 23. They had gathered to say goodbye to a loved one, never imagining their own families would soon be mourning them.
Lord, grant our martyrs eternal rest in Your presence. Comfort their families, heal the injured, and strengthen all those carrying the pain of this tragedy. May Your peace surround the people of Jordan, and may the memory of these beloved souls remain eternal. 🇯🇴✝️🙏
For years we were told prices only go one way. If Sydney really drops 20%, who cops it: the first-home buyers who stretched to get in, or the ones still locked out?
Paralysed. That's how Ray White's chief economist describes Australia's housing market. Values down 7.6% since April across the big five capitals. Sydney down 9.8% (Cotality). SQM Research says a 20% fall in Sydney can't be ruled out. Fewer than half of homes are selling at auction. The worst is yet to come.
Seven kids inside while blokes in balaclavas shoot up the house. Fair dinkum, how is this happening in suburban Sydney and why do these crews seem to have no fear of getting caught?
ALBANESE’S AUSTRALIA: Moorebank home shot up and car torched with SEVEN kids inside, while the same street was firebombed less than 24 hours earlier.
Masked men smash the SUV, douse it in accelerant, set it alight and fire up to 10 shots at the house with a 32 year old woman and children aged 3 to 10 inside.
They film the whole thing, hold up a sign reading “You want to be a man, Welcome to a mans world!”, then post threats vowing to blow cars up and force the woman “out of the country.”
This is not random.
This is imported gang warfare playing out in suburban Sydney driveways, filmed, brazen, and escalating.
Under Albanese, borders have been opened, deportations delayed, and organised crime networks have embedded themselves in western Sydney.
The result, homes with toddlers become targets, balaclava crews operate with impunity, and police are left cleaning up after the fact while the Prime Minister talks “diversity” and soft on crime penalties.
Liverpool cops call it “shocking.”
The Minister calls it “sickening.”
Ordinary Australians call it the direct consequence of a government that prioritised mass migration over community safety.
No one injured this time. Next time the bullets don’t miss the kids.
Australia deserves an alpha male like Ben Roberts Smith leading this country, not a weak and spineless one like Anthony Albanese.
He has proven he cannot keep Australians safe.
A 19-year-old shot in the head just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. How’d organised crime get this brazen in our suburbs and what’s actually being done to rein it in?
Reporting on the aftermath of a mass shooting in Logan, Brisbane, Australia last night.
4 people seriously injured in a drive-by shooting. The gunmen dumped the getaway car in this paddock behind me and burned it.
One of the victims was a 19 year old innocent bystander who was shot in the head simply because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She remains hospitalised in critical condition, we pray she pulls through.
We’ve always had gangs in Australia but the ferocity and violence of organised crime has recently reached a new fever pitch. Multiple innocent bystanders murdered or seriously injured over the past year - targeted in mistaken identity attacks or simply hit by chance. Absolutely atrocious. What is happening to our country. We need a Lee Kuan Yew.
Should schools have to tell parents first, and who decides what counts as sensitive?
Yesterday my son sat through a class where his teacher told him some people were born in the wrong body so they were the opposite sex or had no sex at all. I wasn’t informed this was part of the school curriculum (although I know it is). In the recent past parents were required to give permission for an adult, often outsourced non teaching staff, to speak to minor children about adult concepts like sexuality and gender identity. This is no longer the case. It is now up to us parents to know what our kids are being taught and by whom. Often kids are scared to tell because they know their parents, or any other reasonable adult, would be horrified and they are afraid of their parent making a scene. We need to reassure those kids that won’t happen so they don’t carry any confusion or anxiety they might be feeling about what they were being taught.
Every time something terrible happens, someone blames video games. Millions of Australians play them without hurting anyone, so is banning a game a real answer, or a way of avoiding harder questions?
Months after a fatal stabbing, two teenagers are finally in custody. How do young people end up carrying knives in the first place and are our youth justice laws keeping up?
Open courts are how the public knows justice is being done, whoever the accused is. When should a court keep details from the public, and does fame make that more or less likely?
Accused domestic violence perpetrator Sam Wood tried to get the court to stop media publishing details about his alleged offending.
Wood faces charges relating to an alleged attack on his partner Snezana Wood. He is on remand in Queensland and will re-apply for bail on Friday next week.
Wood’s lawyers sought a non-publication order at Brisbane Supreme Court yesterday, that would see tight restrictions on journalists reporting on the domestic violence accusations.
The Courier Mail reports the court temporarily suppress names, addresses and identifying people named in the bail documents.
Wood's request to suppress the complete documents was denied.
It is alleged Wood pushed and strangled Snezana, preventing her from breathing. Snezana reported to police that she thought he would kill her. Wood is also accused of banging her head on the floor.
He denies the allegations.
He is charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, domestic violence and strangulation in a domestic setting.
He will re-apply for bail on October 30.
The NDIS is meant to support people with disability. Why does it take two blokes with a camera to raise this, and who’s checking the providers?
