We like the single unit officer inspector
She even performed CPR on him - I’ve never shot anyone so haven’t had to live with that on my conscience, but I can’t imagine what it takes to do CPR on a bloke that just killed 6 people including a fucking baby [Edit - the baby lives, her mother does not ]
Sad night for Sydney

The cu*t wasn’t worth one breath.
Good on her for executing her training in all aspects.
Terrible news.

Just horrible news. Heart wrenching for the families of the poor victims. That mother who was killed who threw her injured 9 month year old to those men for help is a hero. Knowing she had suffered severe wounds and desperately wanted to save her child. That man that held that baby and tried to stop the bleeding.
Then the lifeguard from that Bondi Rescue show who was in the Myer and ran down a flight of stairs and after the roller doors had shut the Myer occupants in but he wanted out because he saw a an attacked victim bleeding. No thought for his own safety.
Been to Bondi Junction Westfield on many occasions and not only is the place massive but it’s usually very busy on Saturdays.
The attacker must’ve known his life was over because you don’t enter a public place like that just metres away from one of the busiest Police stations and think you are coming out alive.

Thank fuck we have stringent gun laws.
-
what the actual fuck is going on in this country? has the place just lost its collective mind??
Bondi Junction. Last night some little shit stabbed a priest while shouting his backward fucking religious bullshit. How many fucking women have been murdered in the past few months??
-
@mariner4life dont forget the riot that ensued after the stabbing....people so outraged by the attack...they started trashing houses/cars around the church...so probably people that go to the church

Bondi Junction.
Mental health. Meanwhile we have astonishing numbers living on the streets and record funding of NDIS. Something is seriously wrong here.

Benefits of diversity. Why wouldn't you want people with nothing in common to move here and listen to protected hate speech?

I am seeing the same craziness in Auckland as well, every day there's some new lunatic doing something crazy. I think the economic fallout from the response to the Pandemic down here is having a pretty disastrous effect on mental health across the board. Gonna get worse before it gets better I think.

My observation would be most of the (undoubted) increase in violence is gang related. Which has escalated with the arrival of the Comancheros who brought a gun culture with them from Oz. Just another present related to the 501's.

What an absolutely diabolical article. The sooner legacy media dies the better.
-
And more violent news here in Melbourne - day meet night….
Photos shared on social media show a wild attack, with one boy in a hoodie raising what appears to be a machete.
Witnesses to the shocking event also posted to social media describing horrendous scenes.

This doesn't surprise me given the recent emphasis on social media companies (particularly Meta) doing more to prevent youths sharing illegal activities for "likes" from peers. Nor the oft cited claims that increased media reporting leads to copycat crimes.
What is obvious to me is disengaged parents, failing education systems and perceived lack of consequences.

And the media also gets a fixation on any related crime - knife attacks happen at a certain frequently, but when you amplify them in the media it suddenly seems like more.
Wife just said one of their aged care patients had an issue and needed to be sent back to hospital. The son threatened to stab everyone.
Charming.

This x 100.

For shits and giggles I watched the first 30 mins of Tuesday's Senate Inquiry into supermarket pricing where an obviously frustrated Senator McKim tried high school debating techniques (probably his limit) with the CEO of Woolworths, Brad Banducci. His incompetence, stupidity and frustration eventually had him make the juvenile threat of gaoling Brad for up to six months. All because McKim wanted to use a metric that sounded best (largest) and could ignorantly be compared to a different industry (banking), specifically ROE vs ROI. Obviously banking doesn't have the capital assets supermarkets and miners do.

This is quite surprising to read.
Australia is almost presented as the bastion of perfection up here. Better weather, all the doctors fleeing for 300% salary increase, harmonious people etc. Is that not really the case?
A good pal who moved from London to Sydney said it's most true with the exceptions that Sydney seems to get more rain than rain forest these days and the public education is diabolical.
I guess the grass is always greener, we often look at relocating home, especially during the winter months and as the global tensions escalate, but every time I talk to my Dad about it, he says don't.
