I read Frydenberg's speech in full, and I was hoping someone would do this thread. Several of the things the esteemed former treasurer blames on Albanese happened *under Liberal governments*. So gross that he is doing this. So embarrassing that much of the media is praising it.

Today Josh Frydenberg treated a terrorist attack as a political relaunch opportunity. It’s one of the most repellent displays of opportunism ever in this history of Australian politics. There's some relevant historical context. A thread. #auspol /1

RT @missrobinson: I don't remember Tony Abbott being blamed for the Lindt cafe siege

While the Lindt Cafe siege was still underway Bill Shorten pledged Labor's full support to the Abbott Govt, saying, "The Prime Minister and I are partners when it comes to keeping Australians safe".  He put the country first. It's to their absolute shame the Liberals can't .

The claim that the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is directly responsible for the terrible deaths at #Bondi is obscene.

Frydenberg, Howard, Abbott, @sussanley, Pauline/Barnaby, Murdoch media, jump to the partisan conclusion that Bondi massacre was incited by domestic Gaza protests. Evidence indicates it was an ISIS terrorist influenced atrocity. ISIS is neither Hamas nor pro-Palestine. @AlboMP
An Opposition Leader of any decency, with the future of the nation at heart, would extend a hand to the government and say: in the interest of national unity, how can we work through this together? How can we help ? But no. The whole rotten crew are flat out point scoring.

Decent Kiwis didn’t blame the Ardern government when an Australian terrorist killed 52 Muslims and wounded many more. Instead they rallied around a Prime Minister seeking to unite not divide New Zealanders, and their Parliament overwhelmingly supported tougher gun laws.

So shamelessly opportunistic is Josh Frydenberg that rather than urge unity as Australia mourns the Bondi tragedy, he accused Albo of being "personally responsible" for the deaths—yet failed to justify it after Sarah Ferguson asked 3 times. Performative. Pathetic. #abc730 #auspol

Some basic facts: The father in the Bondi killings gained both temporary then permanent residency under the Howard Government The son had his security status reviewed and cleared under the Morrison Government Both Governments opposed racial hatred laws

Here’s my new SM outlet. Let the crooks and grifters like Trump and his grotesquerie have it. It will soon be worth what they collectively are as far as a contribution to society- a big negative.

If the duopoly concoct it and support it you realise that it's all about protecting the duopoly. Australia's best interests are not served by either of the major parties. The only good thing to come out of @AlboMP 's PMship is the exposure of the duopoly as a danger to democracy.

We should all be angry that Labor is willing to rush through laws like this but shows no urgency about grocery and power prices, housing affordability, or reducing the HECs debt burden before the next election. theguardian.com/australia-ne…
