Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Shawny’s concerns about Victorian and Australian Governments
Last post by DJC -Morrison was PM when an Australian nazi terrorist shot and killed 51 Muslim worshippers in New Zealand. Abbott was PM when a Muslim terrorist took hostages in the Lindt Cafe, two of whom subsequently died from gunshot wounds. Howard was PM when an Australian shot and killed 35 tourists at Port Arthur.
The common thread is that the Opposition adopted a bi-partisan approach and supported the Government's responses in each case.
You would expect the One Nation nutters to try to capitalise on any event but the politicisation of the Bondi tragedy by the Coalition is disgraceful.
The hysterical calls for a Royal Commission are probably understandable but should be ignored by good government. If there were flaws in the work of ASIO, AFP and/or NSW Police, they need to be identified and rectified immediately, not after a Royal Commission has spent 18 months or more examining the terrorist attack from a legal perspective.
I would never in a million years blame Howard or Tony Rundle for Port Arthur. Seems like a flimsy logic and a poor argument.
It really has nothing to do with blame Paul. It is the actions of the Opposition that is under scrutiny here. Howard, Abbott and Morrison enjoyed bipartisan support for their responses, as they should.
