It would be nice to see more nuance and intelligence in this conversation. To all the “we don’t want to become like the USA” people… Please understand that if gun ownership alone caused mass shootings, Switzerland would look like the United States and it absolutely doesn’t. That should tell us that culture, social cohesion, criminal subcultures and institutional trust play a hugely decisive role. Policy debates should acknowledge that complexity exists rather than reducing everything down to a single factor. Life is not black and white.

It’s complex but not magic 🪄 Blaming hidden groups or entire peoples for financial outcomes is what happens when complexity meets ignorance. Money, credit and currencies move according to incentives, policy settings and global liquidity constraints. Its not hooked nose ethnicity or secret control. The system is flawed, but it’s mechanical and not mystical. Understanding can replace scapegoats with structure. Try it on 🧠

Morning Bond Briefing + Liquidity Wrap with seasonal context already baked in.

Australia was founded with an explicit acknowledgement of God and within a Christian moral framework but it was not established as a theocratic Christian state. Important caveat; - Australia does not have an established state religion - Section 116 of the Constitution explicitly prevents: - establishing any religion - imposing religious observance - restricting the free exercise of religion So constitutionally, Australia is: • Not secular in origin • But secular in legal structure

“Whereas the people of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania, humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God, have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and under the Constitution hereby established:” Australia was fundamentally established as a Christian nation 🇦🇺

Cracking down on licensed, law-abiding firearm owners after a violent extremist attack is an entirely inappropriate response from the Australian government. Australia already has very strict firearms laws. The problem here was not a lack of legislation, it was a blatant failure to act on warning signs, intelligence and already existing powers. When authorities already have the ability to intervene and then do not use it, punishing compliant citizens does absolutely nothing to improve public safety. Disarming or further restricting innocent people who have followed every rule known to man does not make violent extremists disappear. It simply shifts blame away from institutional failure and onto the easiest political target! What a copout. This was not a firearms problem. It was a failure of governance, of intervention and real accountability. Australian citizens deserve competence, not scapegoating.

The civil protests haven’t worked at all. Now it’s constant threats to Australians. Very distressing stuff 😞

The Prime Minister of Australia 🇦🇺 must resign.

Australia does not need another press conference. It does not need another wreath, another statement or another carefully worded paragraph drafted by advisors in ivory towers who will never live with the consequences of their decisions. We need real leadership. Anthony Albanese, Penny Wong and the rest of those who dominate the modern Australian left have spent years hollowing out the cultural and civic foundations that made this country safe, pluralistic and most importantly free. They have treated the Westminster system not as a sacred inheritance, but rather as an inconvenience; or worse, something to be reshaped, bypassed or quietly undermined in pursuit of their own ideological approval. A democratic nation so much more than postcode. It is a shared moral contract. We had that in Australia. That contract depended on respect for life, for the rule of law, for freedom of conscience and for the equal dignity of all of our citizens. Including our Jewish Australians, who now find themselves targeted by hatred that our leaders were warned about and then chose to downplay. Chanting “from the river to the sea” is not peaceful protest. It is not a call for coexistence. It is a call for genocide and our history is painfully clear about where such language leads. When weak political leaders refuse to draw moral boundaries, they legitimise the extremism by omission. When they prioritise political signalling over cultural cohesion, they leave ordinary Australians, Jewish, Christian and the secular alike completely exposed. Now this did not happen because Australians lack compassion. It happened because we elected leaders who lack courage. Leadership means having the courage to refuse, to say no to imported hatreds, no to ideologies that reject democratic norms and no to language that glorifies the destruction of life. Leadership means defending life and love not just in speeches, but in policy, enforcement and with real, tangible accountability. Words are hollow. Australia must do better. That begins with electing leaders who are willing to defend the moral and democratic foundations of this nation. Not those who would rather sacrifice our nation so they can score cheap political points

Pattern recognition is not conspiracy-thinking by default. It’s a very normal human response when our institutions behave predictably and defensively. How does someone that is on a terror watch list in Australia retain legal access to firearms in the first place? That is a state failure, full stop 🛑

Completely predictable response and completely inappropriate. Why do they want us completely disarmed… If the bloke was on a terror watch list how did he have “legal firearms” in the first place?

This is exactly the type of stuff we don’t want to see in Australia;

Pig heads placed on Muslim graves at cemetery in disturbing act of retribution — Daily Mail Australia

Pig heads have been thrown onto Muslim graves at a western Sydney cemetery in a disturbing act of retribution following the Bondi Beach terror attack.

We’re sitting ducks 🦆 in Australia 🇦🇺

‪Authorities want us completely defenceless in Australia 🇦🇺 it’s morally incomprehensible.‬ ‪Completely wrong response. Again.‬

Anybody who chanted “from the river to the sea” directly contributed to the deaths of innocent Australians.

You cannot fix hormones unless you fix insulin, cortisol and vitamin C. And you cannot fix insulin and cortisol unless you replenish vitamin C.

Is he a good Muslim?

When governments like ours in Australia won’t control spending or money creation, they substitute importing people for fiscal discipline. Australia abandoned sound money and fiscal discipline and now we have both people and problems that we cannot integrate. If Australia operated under hard monetary constraints, it would not need extreme population growth to maintain economic credibility. Hence the BTC advocacy. Elastic currency costs lives.

This violent incident proves the Global Intifada has arrived on our shores and Muslims / pro-Palestinians are now openly killing citizens in Australia 🇦🇺
