It's sad that an antisemitism rally is need in 2024, it's sadder that we need a massive police presence to keep us safe to prove the point as to why the rally is needed in the first place. Here is my speech from the rally:

An open offer to any Muslim man, woman or child. If you are fearful about walking through the gates of your mosque, let me know and I’ll happily walk with you. Because your ability to practice your faith is as important as it is for me to practice mine.

I can't help but think there is a message here for all those who attacked @FatherBob ... I might add that as a Jew who had family exterminated in the Holocaust, I know how important it is to not trivialise the Holocaust but it's also vital that we learn from it & how it happened.

If you see human suffering & you think this is not so important because "it's not yet Auschwitz"… Then, think again. We commemorate and educate about the tragic history of Auschwitz as we believe it should inspire people today to build a better & a more responsible world.

My overwhelming concern today is for all victims of child sex abuse. The Catholic Church can not wipe away the stain of their enabling of this crime against our most precious & vulnerable. And be in no doubt, Pell is right in the middle of this. STILL.

For the record, Israel only controls 9% of water flow into Gaza. Hamas is responsible for the rest & currently has over 500,000 million litres of diesel fuel & they have stolen food supplies. They just don't give it to their civilians so they can keep it for their fighters #QandA

What kind of self centred, egomaniac, narcissist visits & takes photos with children hours after he receives a positive Covid test. That's of course if it's true. If it isn't then what kind of creep lies about being Covid positive. Either way he's a dead set flog! #Djokovic

Hawkey was one of the reasons I joined the Labor party at 15. A giant, a reformer, a visionary. I bet he is already whipping heaven into shape, getting numbers to take over from St Peter & organising a wage rise for all the angels. RIP a giant of humanity #BobHawke

Ok, there’s no easy way to say this nicely, so I’m going to just come right out say it. I don’t like licorice jelly beans. There’s no place for then in a jelly beans packet. And I don’t like Ouzo either. My Greek drink of choice is Tsipouro. There, I feel much better now.

Five years ago to this day I was sworn in as a Minister. What a privilege, what a ride. And created a little history too as I became the first Minister sworn in by Her Excellency the Hon. Linda Dessau & of course we are both Jewish too, the first time in Victoria’s history.

The next time @QandA gives air time to a far right party like One Nation, a party of islamophobes & white supremacists, remember that the Nazi party were elected “conservatives” too. Our country & values of tolerance/inclusiveness are worth fighting for #NeverAgain #auspol #QandA

Craig is 100% spot on. This position is untenable. Opening a backdoor for our intelligence agencies opens it up for others to access. This is the antithesis of good public policy, despite being the best of intentions #auspol

Time to show some leadership @AdamBandt & repudiate this. Victim blaming is no longer a thing and for the record, the kids should probably be taught the definition of Apartheid because whatever you think of Israel it's not that.

No Nick. The saddest thing about the gallows is the imminent death threat it makes against a fellow human being, not for any heinous crime or transgression but for being an elected official considering public policy. Yr criticism feels more like being hit with a wet lettuce leaf.

Saddest thing about the gallows is that it allows the proponent of bad legislation to dismiss, deflect and disparage rather than debate. Put the gallows away, it’s wrong, it doesn’t belong here, and it’s a free kick for the side you’re arguing against #covid19vic #auspol

@fergushunter @SophieMc108 @AncillaryJasper @PoliticsFairfax It should be challenged and validated. That’s real journalism. Ask the question, which people? Liberal MPs, his staff or the Casper the friendly ghost. Anyone can make a claim, that doesn’t make it reportable.
