The Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies president Jason Steinberg had better have a hard look at the background of the Bondi massacre and ask himself if it was only Islam behind the shooting?
Goading Premier Crisafulli into colluding with Albanese to disarm Australians is not a sound tactic Mr Steinberg.
While we offer our condolences to the families of those killed and injured, this tragedy could easily have been prevented.

We have seen much evidence to support the claim by Iran and others that Islam was not on its own in Bondi. Just as Israeli secret service Mossad was in the background of the 1996 Port Arthur psyop in Tasmania.
You are demanding Queensland changes the gun laws to suit yourself. What about your gun laws in Israel? Did those laws protect 1219 Israelis killed or save 251 hostages on October 7?
When is Netanyahu going to admit the Israel-Gaza border guards were given a stand down order before Hamas broke through on October 7?
We have seen the statements by Israeli border guards condemning the stand down order. We don’t know if they are still alive.
Queenslanders do not like being told what to do by a small minority of its population. You should look at the Voice referendum result for the state and nationally.
In 2021 only 4815 residents identified as Jewish in the Sunshine State according to ABS so who do you think you are telling 5.63 million other residents what to do?
You are not in Jerusalem now and wanted war criminal Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not have any say here, thank God.
We Christians of Queensland say you can jump up as much as you like but we support the LNP Government’s stance of no change to already very stringent gun laws, just like those in NSW which had no bearing on the Bondi incident.
We suggest you have a serious conversation with Mossad Chief David ‘Dadi’ Barnea and ask him to come clean on what he knows and while you are at it ask him about the old caravan full of expired fertiliser ‘found’ in Sydney.
Leave our peaceful, legitimate gun owners alone. A Courier Mail poll shows 67 per cent of Queenslanders do not want tougher gun laws, which would be at odds with their editorial jaundice towards gun owners.
Three generations of Labor compositors, journalists and management staff working at Murdoch’s Brisbane Courier Mail as usual are taking the ALP’s hard line on gun owners, farmers, sporting shooters and children who are learning responsible operation of firearms.
Once upon a time Australia had army cadets which filled this role and many adults today have benefitted from this training they got in their youth.
These adults today are the responsible trainers at gun clubs who are guiding the younger shooters to aim for high levels in sports and to attain Olympic standards.
Australia has some of the safest and best shooters in the world across all disciplines.
Keep out of it Mr Steinberg. We are sick of hearing it. You had better check out the national petition to get rid of Albanese and his Communist cohorts. Yesterday it had gone past 200,000 and expected to top one million by Christmas Day.
Northern territory tells Albo to stick new gun laws
National Cabinet and Police Ministers have met this week to progress work on any reforms needed to eradicate antisemitism, hate, violence and extremism. This work includes developing options to strengthen gun laws.
We have commenced work on how we can strengthen powers for police to better target criminals and people of interest to federal authorities for violence, extremism, or risk to the community.
The Territory will meaningfully participate in the work ahead and bring to the national debate a uniquely Territory perspective.
The CLP Government also acknowledges the thousands of Territorians who legitimately own firearms as antique collectors, hunters, sports shooters and for work, who do not form part of our focus.
Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro said, “The Northern Territory has a very different context to the larger states and will not blindly follow approaches designed for other jurisdictions. Instead, we will contribute meaningfully and make decisions on what is best for the Territory.
“We are particularly interested in better powers for police and the flow of information from federal intelligence agencies to support Territory police to take guns off threats and their families, and to stop people who may be a threat from getting a licence in the first place,” Mrs Finocchiaro said.
The Territory already has a proactive regime of removing firearms from domestic violence offenders and is well advanced in its part of the National Firearms Register, which we welcome being fast-tracked.
NSW is forging ahead with its gun reforms next week, and we deeply respect their autonomy to do that.
“The Northern Territory doesn’t have the same challenges as other parts of the nation, and I make no apologies for fighting for Territorians in the national debate,” Mrs Finocchiaro said.
“Any reform in the Territory must be about putting the rights of Territorians to be safe above the rights of those who threaten our way of life, our freedoms and our community.”
