Bondi’s horror was ISIS attack on Aus soil. It raises qs of surveillance of ME Islamists, access to guns, extremist influences from terrorist bases in PH. It’s not a Aus democracy failure. It’s a foreign strike on our territory by murderous antisemitism of a cult founded in Iraq

I had the sense hearing this interview that PM @AlboMP was talking for the whole country. If we lose our unity and common sense we hand victory to 2 ISIS killers representative of nobody and nothing except their own primitive diabolical anti-Jewish hatred

All of us gripped by the horror of Bondi terrorist shooting of members of the Jewish community at a Hannukah celebration. Shocking to reflect that this could occur to Jewish people on Australian soil.

With newly arrived Gazans, witnesses to the wholesale tragedy of starved children, smashed hospitals, demolished homes. Meanwhile one huge political shift: segments of US opinion move against Israel.

Greatest threat to Blue Mountains environment is climate change (as with all natural sites on World Heritage list). This confirmed by 2019 “landscape-scale fires.” In warming world the fires bigger and more frequent.

Here’s what the fmr Lithuanian Foreign Minister says about the 28 point plan. Let’s hear whether Australia’s Trumpians stay with Putin’s ally in the White House or support the people of Ukraine. A split between the US and Europe on Russia’s invasion means the evisceration of NATO

Its lesson will reverberate in Asia. Remember Kissinger: to be an enemy of the US is dangerous, to be a friend is fatal.

I’m waiting for the Trump enthusiasts on Sky and in News to explain the brilliance of the Ukraine peace plan produced by their hero in the White House. It mounts to victory for Putin freeing him to target Estonia and Poland. It will be the biggest blow to NATO in its history.

Genocide and apartheid - the touchstone words - cannot be used. Must never be spoken. I will continue to use them because they are the truth.

"I criticise the Israel lobby for its unwavering support of a government in Israel pursuing a policy of genocide in Gaza and apartheid on the West Bank. If they ever criticise the ethno nationalists running Israel I will be the first to congratulate them."

Yoni Bashan who writes pro-Israel commentary for @australian wants to compare me with Nazi demonstrators. I give him a reply.  He carefully excises my comments about the Israel lobby, the point of the story.  Here’s what I told him in full:

Between meetings in Japan I’m struck by the civilisational success of East Asia in building good cities. See it in the new cities of mainland China too, and Taipei. Singapore of course. Their success at urbanism. Better models than Los Angeles.

Geoff Raby’s analysis is riveting.

Trump treats Xi as equal and refers more than once to a G2 policy with China. G2 - as in G7 or G20. It means US and China as peer powers leading the world. And by leaving APEC Trump signals to Asia that the US is leaving the region to China. Very different to Obama’s pivot.

Andrew Hastie would have been wiser to have waited out this political cycle. His lack of judgment in embracing white nationalist rhetoric on immigration and denouncing liberalism makes him look a putative leader of One Nation not an alternative PM
