JUST IN: Elon Musk unveils the Tesla Roadster by launching it off a ramp before the car flipped in midair and safely landed on the ground. The car is a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX. One of the most insane things I've ever seen.

Well, that was wild. I'm at the Australian Parliament and just left a meeting with two staffers for the governing party. They told us that the government needed more power to censor things like the upcoming US execution of Nidal Hasan. When I asked why they needed to censor that video, one said it was to prevent copycat killings. Copycat killings by governments? I asked. Er, no, they said. Copycat killings like of a backpacker, several decades ago. So, under that logic, I pointed out, the government should censor things like last year's Bondi massacre, where two Muslims killed 15 people, no? Well, that was news, they said. Didn't they realize their bill would allow the government to censor news? They didn't seem to know, or care. They also admitted that they did not know that the bill would allow the government to create and operate an unlimited number of fake social media accounts to attack its political enemies and spread disinformation. Having presented them with information they had never heard about a bill they had clearly not read, they emphasized to us, strenuously, that they were moving forward with the bill. So there you have it. The government wants the power to arbitrarily censor scenes of violent crime, or violence, for any reason. And it wants the power to use an unlimited number of fake accounts to wage offensive disinformational warfare against the Australian people. Given that the Bondi massacre last year increased public opposition to mass migration, and support for the populist One Nation Party, it seems obvious that the government wants to censor such events in order to protect its political power. It's quite telling how obediently governing party members insist such a law is needed without even knowing what's in it.

In our region, the rule-of-thumb for when to plant grain crops is "after ANZAC Day". The operation of planting completely erases anything in the paddock. So I figured, if it will be visible until at least ANZAC Day, let's combine the two? To the greatest place. Happy Australia Day. 🇦🇺

This is from an email I received …….. What Anthony Albanese Is Truly Terrified Of PM Albanese stands before the nation not as a leader, but as a politician desperately clinging to power while fifteen Australian lie dead. His refusal to call a Royal Commission is not about "avoiding delays" or "taking swift action", it is about avoiding accountability for a cascade of failures, political calculations, and moral cowardice that culminated in the Bondi Beach massacre. PM had every warning, every opportunity – he choose political expediency over the safety of Australian citizens. Now he refuses the one mechanism that will expose the full truth of his government's complicity in creating the conditions for this tragedy. Ed Husic, Muslim himself, a brave man who had the courage to break ranks with Albanese and call for a royal commission, stating: "In the aftermath of the horrific events of Bondi we all need to know not just how this happened – but what we can do to root out extremism, whatever form it comes in. I've previously said I don't care if it's Islamist or Far Right Extremism, anything that presents a threat to Australians must be confronted." Husic is a man of integrity who understands that the wider Muslim community equally deserves answers about what happened, how and why  it all happened - a father and son hijacked Islam to commit this vile act, in the name of Islam, the truth matters to everyone. Mike Freelander, another Labor MP, has also joined Husic in calling for a federal royal commission, making it clear that even within Labor's own ranks, there are hones MPs who prioritise national security and accountability over protecting your leadership. Albanese Knows a Royal Commission Will Expose; 1. The $27 Million Blood Money A Royal Commission would force testimony on why your government handed $27 million to the Australian National Imams Council through a closed, non-competitive process—even after Grand Mufti Ibrahim Abu Mohamed issued a fatwa calling for jihad against Israel and to defy Australian authorities. You would have to explain under oath why extremist-linked organizations received taxpayer funding while Jewish community security concerns were dismissed. You know the optics are devastating: you funded those promoting jihad while Jews were being murdered in Australian streets. 2. The Segal Report: Five Months of Contempt Jillian Segal—your own handpicked antisemitism envoy—delivered 49 recommendations in July 2025. A Royal Commission would compel answers to these questions: Why did you sit on this report for five months while antisemitism escalated? Why has Tony Burke refused to commit to implementing ALL recommendations? Why did Burke state some recommendations would "never need to be considered"? What political calculations led you to ignore your own envoy's roadmap to safety? The Jewish community told you what needed to be done two years ago. You did nothing. Then your own expert told you. Still nothing. A Royal Commission would create a public record of every ignored warning, every missed opportunity, every calculation that prioritized votes over lives. 3. The Iftar Dinner Scandal A Royal Commission would examine your judgment in attending an Iftar dinner where Imam Ibrahim Dadoun delivered the closing prayer—and just two days later, that same Imam publicly celebrated the October 7th massacre as "a day of victory." You would have to explain: What vetting occurred before this event? Who approved your attendance? What does this association say about your government's relationships with radical elements? 4. Mike Burgess and ASIO: Warnings Ignored ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess repeatedly warned about the rising threat. A Royal Commission would compel testimony on: Every briefing you received about radicalization threats Every warning about the Wissam Haddad center in Bankstown Every recommendation for increased resources you denied The gap between what ASIO told you privately and what you told the public The Commission would expose whether you subordinated national security intelligence to political considerations. 5. The Wissam Haddad "Factory of Hate" The Al Madina Dawah Centre in Bankstown was identified as a radicalization hub linked to one of the Bondi shooters. A Royal Commission would investigate: When was your government first warned about this center? What media coverage and intelligence reports documented the threat? Why was no action taken despite it being a known radicalization pipeline? What role did Burke's electoral concerns (Watson seat, 23.4% Muslim population) play in the inaction? Josh Frydenberg called it a "factory of hate" and demanded its closure. Your Home Affairs Minister—whose own seat depends on this community—gave only silence. 6. Burke's Secret Operations A Royal Commission would have subpoena power to uncover: The secret return of ISIS brides The importation of 3,000 Palestinians from Gaza with inadequate vetting Secret meetings with Muslim cohorts where note-takers were asked to leave the room The deliberate decision to ban Israeli officials while refusing to confront radical Islamist preachers Every document, every email, every briefing note would be examined. The electoral mathematics of Watson would be laid bare for the nation to see. 7. The Wong Factor Your Foreign Minister equated Israel with Russia and China, met with Iranian and Palestinian representatives while refusing to meet Israeli officials, and declined to visit October 7 attack sites. A Royal Commission would examine whether this created an atmosphere that emboldened antisemitism in Australia. 8. Silence on Senators Thorpe, Payman, and Faruqi These senators used phrases like "globalize the intifada" and "from the river to the sea"—calls for Jewish elimination. Your silence was deafening. A Royal Commission would ask: What message did your silence send to radicalized individuals? Did you prioritize party unity over condemning genocidal rhetoric? As Prime Minister, what duty do you have to speak against such statements from your own party members? 9. The Premature Palestinian State Recognition A Royal Commission would examine whether your ideologically driven decision to prematurely recognize a Palestinian state added fuel to the fire of antisemitism. Multiple Labor MPs warned this would have consequences. You ignored them. 10. The Pattern of Political Calculation Over Safety Most damning of all, a Royal Commission would expose the systematic pattern: every decision filtered through electoral mathematics rather than national security imperatives. The Muslim vote. Western Sydney seats. Leadership ambitions. Political survival. The Commission would create an indelible public record showing that when faced with the choice between protecting Australian Jews or protecting Labor's electoral prospects, you chose the latter. Every. Single. Time. The "Gun Reform" Deflection Your pivot to gun reform is the most transparent deflection imaginable. The problem wasn't insufficient gun laws—the problem was known radicalization networks you refused to dismantle, warnings you refused to heed, and extremist ideology you refused to name. As John Howard correctly stated, your position appears to be nothing more than deflection from systematic failures. You want to talk about firearms rather than the radicalization pipeline that turned two individuals into mass murderers of Jews. Why Dennis Richardson's Review Is Inadequate You've offered a departmental review instead of a Royal Commission. This is deliberate. A departmental review: Cannot compel testimony under oath Cannot subpoena documents Cannot examine political decisions and calculations Cannot recommend criminal charges for negligence or complicity Can be controlled, limited, and managed by your government A Royal Commission can do all these things. That's precisely why you fear it. The Bondi Vigil: The People Have Spoken You were booed at the vigil for the fifteen murdered Jews. The crowd applauded when Jewish Board of Deputies president David Ossip called for a Royal Commission. Even your own MP, Ed Husic, broke ranks to demand one. The Australian people see through your deflections. They understand that "they want to divide us" is hollow rhetoric from a Prime Minister who enabled division through inaction. The Moral Reckoning Mr. Albanese, those fifteen Jews didn't die because of insufficient gun laws. They died because radical Islamist ideology was allowed to flourish while you courted votes. They died because warnings were ignored in favor of political calculations. They died because when faced with hard choices, you chose what was politically convenient rather than what was right. You appointed Jillian Segal and ignored her. You attended dinners with extremist-sympathizing imams. You remained silent while senators called for intifada. You handed millions to organizations whose leaders called for jihad. You allowed a "factory of hate" to operate in your Home Affairs Minister's electorate because shutting it down would cost votes. Now you refuse the one mechanism that would expose all of this—a Royal Commission with full investigative powers. The Truth You Fear What you're truly terrified of is this: A Royal Commission would prove that the Bondi Beach massacre was not an unpredictable tragedy, but a preventable atrocity enabled by your government's systematic subordination of national security to political survival. Every warning ignored, every recommendation shelved, every extremist accommodated, every hard decision avoided—all of it would be documented, examined, and judged. The Australian people would see that you were not a Prime Minister who did his best in difficult circumstances. You were a politician who calculated that Jewish lives were worth less than Muslim votes. That is what you fear. That is why you refuse the Royal Commission. And that is why you must be forced to call one.
