Accused gunman Naveed Akram graduated from an Islamic college where he learned to recite the Koran. The Bondi massacre calls for leadership action — not mere words.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has posted a photograph of himself laying a wreath at the scene of the Bondi terror attack.

What performative nonsense.

The PM wasn’t elected to lay flowers. Any florist can do that.

Albanese was elected to keep the country safe. He has failed on an epic scale.

No amount of stunts with bouquets can disguise his government’s reckless indifference to our nation’s welfare.

Attackers Background

The Australian newspaper’s main story yesterday morning began…

“The alleged Bondi terrorists have been confirmed to have an Islamic background…”

Honestly, you could have knocked me over with a feather.

Accused gunman Naveed Akram graduated from an Islamic college where he learned to recite the Koran.

Head of the Al-Murad Institute, Sheikh Adam Ismail, said…

“I last had contact with him in early 2022, but we just strictly teach people to read Koran here, nothing else.”

Ah yes, he only taught Naveed Akram the Koran. You know the Koran, the book that describes Jews as “apes and pigs” (Koran 5:60) and that urges Muslims to “Fight those who do not believe in Allah… from among the People of the Book” (Koran 9:29) and that urges followers of Mohammad to “Kill them wherever you encounter them” (Koran 2:191).

Now his “dear student”, who excelled in reciting the Koran, has shot up Jews in Bondi, killing 15 people.

Perhaps Sheikh Adam Ismail should instead teach students to recite the words of Jesus who said “Love your enemies” (Matthew 5) and who told Peter to “Put down the sword” (Matthew 26).

Leadership Failure

The Prime Minister’s statement to the nation Sunday night was infuriating.

He said…

“An attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on every Australian and every Australian tonight will be like me devastated on this attack on our way of life.”

Vague half truths like this only serve to obfuscate from the reality of what has happened.

Naveed Akram and his father Sajid Akram were not attacking our way of life. That’s what the Greens do with their calls to ban barbecues and the Melbourne Cup.

Akram and son were attacking Jews, intent on killing as many as possible.

That these Jews happened to be on Australian soil was entirely coincidental to the attack.

Albanese went on to say…

“There is no room for this hate, violence and terrorism in our nation.”

The events of the past two years would say otherwise.

“Let me be clear: we will eradicate it.”

How? By recognising a State of Palestine while ‘Palestine’ is governed by terrorists just like those who shot up Bondi on Sunday night?

The Prime Minister’s words to the Jewish community in the wake of the Bondi massacre were disgraceful.

I cannot believe he said…

“As Prime Minister I say on behalf of all Australians to the Jewish community we stand with you, we embrace you and we reaffirm tonight that you have every right to be proud of who you are and what you believe.”

Well thanks Albo. That will surely mean a lot to Jews as they bury their dead.

Statement on Bondi Beach Chanukah terrorist attack – Government has blood on its hands

As for the PM saying “we embrace you”… he can’t even embrace the recommendations of the Envoy to Combat Anti-Semitism that he himself appointed.

Jews in this country are far too polite to do it, but Albanese should be jeered everywhere he goes.

No one could have seen the Bondi terror attack coming.

Er, rubbish. It’s been building toward this for two years.

The PM had the audacity to tell the nation Sunday night…

“The evil that was unlashed is beyond comprehension and beyond anyone’s worst nightmare.”

It was not beyond anyone’s worst nightmare. The Jewish community, and others of us, had been warning that it was inevitable calls for “globalising the intifada” would result in a fatal attack on Jews in this country.

Nor was it “beyond comprehension”… unless you’re dull as the PM seems to be.

Anyone with eyes to see comprehended long ago that this is where we were heading.

Two Years of Increasing Unchecked Anti-Semitism

Did you hear Albanese tell Jews Sunday night that “you should never know the fear that you know tonight”.

I almost fell off my chair.

Is Albanese unaware that on October 9 — two years ago — NSW police told Jews to stay in their homes because a mob chanting “gas the Jews” (or, if you prefer “where are the Jews”) made it too dangerous for them to walk around Sydney’s CBD?

Australian Jews have lived in fear for the past two years. Many have packed up their families and moved to Israel because they feel safer in a Middle East war zone than they do here.

And he had the hide to say they shouldn’t know fear like they know “tonight”.

He deserves nothing but scorn.

But he continued…

“You are Australian and all Australians are with you today and every day.”

All Australians should be with Jews today. But clearly not all are.

The government allowed 300,000 people to march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge brandishing pro-Palestine flags as well as flags glorifying terrorist organisations.

This is the Australia Anthony Albanese’s reckless immigration policy has created.

Don’t tell me all Australians are with Jews today and every day when you’re importing ISIS Brides and Gazans.

Such statements are foolish and utter folly.

Thank God for Ahmed El Ahmed

Former Ten political reporter Paul Bongiorno tweeted today…

“The brave Australian who risked his life to disarm one of the killers was Bondi fruiterer called Ahmed El Ahmed. A Muslim — let that sink in to all those responding with hate and cheap politicking.”

Bongiorno is right that we should not hate Muslims. Every Muslim is an individual who is made in the image of God.

Thank God for Ahmed El Ahmed. What he did undoubtedly saved many lives. He is a national hero.

What should not be lost, however, is that in saving the lives of Jews he was not acting in accordance with the example of Muhammad or the teachings of the Islamic Scriptures, or the history of Islamic regimes, but in spite of them.

And that’s a subject no-one wants to talk about.

The fact a Muslim tackled one of the Islamists does not mean Islam has no case to answer.

Speaking of Bongiorno, he and others are tweeting words to the effect that this is not a time for anger or for finger pointing. Instead …

“It is a time for condolence to our Jewish compatriots, for reflection on the heroism of responders and to take stock of who we are as a nation.”

I disagree. This is a time for anger and for calling leaders to account.

As for taking stock of who we are as a nation, the Jewish community did that on October 9 in 2023. And, as a result of taking stock of who we are as a nation, many of them moved their families out.

I would say to Borgiorno: When is the appropriate time to be angry? Tomorrow? Next week? After the next slaughter of Jews? After a stadium is bombed?

We should be angry.

We should be furious.

We should demand accountability from those who have not only allowed anti-Semitism to flourish in this nation but those who have fanned the flames.

Islamic apologists (I’m not suggesting Bongiorno is one) want us always grieving, always reflecting, always holding vigils but never angry lest anything ever changes.

Spare me the the placing of flowers, the calls for “solidarity” and the inevitable renditions of “Imagine”.

Demand our leaders deport anyone who so much as smells like an Islamist, fix our immigration system and hold Islamic organisations to account.

eSafety Commissioner Response

Well doesn’t this tell you everything you need to know about the Albanese Government?

The first instinct of the Labor was to try to censor footage of the Islamic terrorist attack on Bondi because they don’t want people to be angry about the extremists they’ve let into our country.

E-Karen will be far more concerned about “mean tweets” than terrorism.

And you’ll kindly forgive me for wondering whether Government ministers will be far more concerned about their next taxpayer funded holiday than about the next attack on Jews.

NSW Premier Chris Minns says his government is reviewing firearms laws “as we speak,” and that the public can expect changes to be announced in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, the PM says tougher gun laws will be put to national cabinet.

But the problem is not radicalised firearms.

The Sign in Bondi

Image source: X

Someone hung this sign from their unit in Bondi today.

Apt.

Remember just two months ago when Muslims swarmed the Sydney Airport arrivals gate and yelled “Allahu Akbar” to welcome the return of pro-Palestine activists?

They crossed the security line and police looked the other way.

When you tolerate such lawlessness, mass shootings happen.

Albo’s Australia indeed.

You pay for SBS and for the racial Discrimination Commissioner. And both of them are warning that you are dangerous.

This from the taxpayer funded broadcaster yesterday…

“Australia’s racial discrimination commissioner is warning that the factors that fomented the Cronulla riots are still in play today — and that a similar racial brawl could occur again.”

Yep, the real danger in the days ahead is the xenophobia of average Australians.

Netanyahu and Albanese

This exchange at a press conference today was telling…

Reporter: “What is your response to Netanyahu’s comments about your leadership?”

Anthony Albanese: “This is a moment for national unity. This is a moment for Australians to come together, and that’s precisely what we’ll be doing.”

— Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו (@netanyahu) December 14, 2025

Says the guy who has spent his entire leadership trying to divide us with his race-based Voice referendum, his reckless immigration scheme and his continual dramatising of the “far right” being the threat.

A failed leader calling for us to unite behind his failed leadership is nothing less than a transparently obvious bid to avoid criticism.

This is a time for unity, but not for unity behind a socialist government intent on bringing the nation to ruin.
