I am very disturbed by the rapid descent into dystopia occurring in the country I grew up in - Australia.

There are two related trends that are taking Australia down a very dark path.
1. A massive rise in anti-semitic attacks on Jewish institutions and Jews.
- Synagogues burned down, constantly defaced with vile pro-terrorist and anti-semitic propaganda.
- The Synagogue where I was first married targeted by a well advanced plot to blow it up with a caravan full of explosives, only foiled by an alert citizen (and not the useless police).
- The Jewish primary school my kids attended defaced with anti-semitic propaganda.
A complete failure to catch the perpetrators. More on this later.
All this in a country that had very little anti-semitism until recently.
This has been encouraged and enabled by the most anti-Israel Federal Government in Australian history (Labor under Mr Anthony Albanese (meaning "from Albania" in Italian)) which has:
- failed to stop constant anti-semitic protests openly supporting a proscribed terrorist group (Hamas), which is blatantly illegal under existing anti-terrorism laws. I note that in the US under Trump these laws are starting to be enforced;
- provided funding to the Hamas terror group via UNWRA after the later was clearly exposed as an arm of Hamas (Hamas HQ in UNWRA building, many Hamas members employed by UNWRA, UNWRA staff holding hostages, UNWRA buildings filled with weapons and hate material etc etc);
- refused visas to and harassed Israelis wanting to visit Australia about their compulsory IDF service.
All this and more has caused the Israeli government to take the historic and unprecedented (in Israel Australia relations) step of formally rebuking the Australian government.
2. More and more tyrannical restrictions on Free Speech
- Australia has an "e-Safety Commissioner" who censors social media content that is not in line with the official government position and recently threatened Elon Musk. It was recently found to have already exceeded its already draconian legal mandate to engage in unofficial take down notices with no means of review.
- The Federal Government recently tried to completely ban all kids under 16 from social media in an attempt to force everyone to prove their identity online. This attempt was narrowly defeated.
- Australia already had quite strict hate speech laws that are problematic from a freedom of speech perspective.
- Now, using the excuse of these anti-semitic attacks, the Federal Government just passed (with the support of the "conservative" opposition and the Greens) the most harsh and draconian anti-free speech "hate speech" laws which provide mandatory minimum gaol sentences for saying something that may offend a certain group or is not considered "Right-Think" by the authorities.
3. Leading to Blade Runner in Sydney
They are now flying police helicopters loudly over residential areas at night, allegedly searching for anti-semitic attackers.
This is obviously designed to be performative and to terrorise the population. If you actually wanted to catch the perpetrators you would use quiet drones constantly patrolling over the less than 40 Jewish institutions in the country. This would cost far less than operating just one police helicopter! And it would actually work rather than just cause the attackers to choose another target.
Clearly the government DOES NOT WANT to catch the perpetrators of these anti-semitic attacks, instead wishes to use these attacks to push its tyrannical anti-free speech agenda.
To make matters even worse, this leads to Jews being scapegoated for infringements of free speech (as the above X poster appears to do), when all they want is the right to live their lives in the safety accorded other Australian citizens.
Despite cameras everywhere and footage of the perpetrators, not a single anti-semitic attacker has been caught.
This is not just incompetence, this is deliberate.
The Aussie police had no trouble finding and arresting pregnant women in their pajamas in front of their children for making Facebook posts about peaceful protests for the right to walk freely in a park (anti-lockdown protests).
And Yes, the Aussie police have allowed protests openly supporting a proscribed terrorist group and prevented Jews from walking on the street in order to not offend the protestors, but used rubber bullets and water cannon against people protesting for their right to live a normal life and not be jabbed with experimental mRNA treatments during COVID.
Also Australia prevented their own citizens from entering and leaving the country during COVID.
The Israeli Supreme Court ruled (during COVID) that a citizen's right to freely enter and leave their own country was a fundamental right of citizenship, a core part of the compact between citizen and State.
But Australians have no rights.
They are not citizens, they are INMATES!

Growing calls to pull K-Rudd as US Ambassador. Not sure why. He represents Australia perfectly.
Sadly, Yes.

The events of October 2023 seem to have increased hate speech. I think it will decrease even more with the end of the war.
I know Australia has strong anti-discrimination laws. They recently banned the Nazi salute.
