CAMERON MILNER: Our nation is under existential threat as Australians are abandoned by our weakest PM ever

All Australians, but especially Jewish Australians who have been made to endure constant violent rhetoric and attacks, don’t deserve to be abandoned by the weakest Australian Prime Minister ever.

Just as First Nations people didn’t deserve to have their rights smashed in a vanity project for Anthony Albanese.

Australians doing it tough in a cost-of-living crisis don’t deserve a PM, a Labor PM no less, so fundamentally out of touch with their lived pain.

A is for Australia, A is for Albanese and A is for abandoned.

Albanese is a latter-day Nero. He’s Emperor, but Australia is engulfed in flames and our nation as we knew it, hoped and loved it to be is under existential threat.

The PM is gripped with indecision when it comes to calling out rank anti-Semitism. Despite the torching in Melbourne of a place of peaceful worship, the Adass synagogue in Ripponlea, it took Albanese two days to call it for what it was: terrorism on our nations soil.

He stayed in to play an afternoon of tennis at the exclusive Cottesloe Club rather than getting himself to Ripponlea and being the leader this nation needs at this very moment.

Albanese famously stayed at the Australian Open for three days as rioting broke out in Alice Springs but this is next level insensitivity and goes to the heart of the character of the PM — getting on the piss and swinging a racquet rather than doing his job as PM.

Albanese is belittling the concerns of not only Jewish Australian’s, but all fair-minded Australians.

There’s no excusing any of this as “just a little bit of Jew hating”. There has to be zero tolerance for it.

To say Albanese is anything else but a hopeless by-stander would credit this Beta male with some leadership qualities of being able to actually make decisions.

Albanese is a tumble weed being blown and pushed around by any political wind. He’s someone who managed in the absence of others to float to the top of the Labor stream, but he’s still at the whim of the prevailing current in the sewer of Canberra politics.

Just because Labor’s head is barely above water still in national polls doesn’t mean that voters aren’t ready to flush a Labor government down the drain after just one term in office.

To govern is to decide. To lead takes the courage to make calls and live by the consequences.

Labor MP’s, affiliate union leaders and factional warlords who run and rule the Labor Party live by Albanese’s motto — the standard you walk past is the standard you accept. Albanese’s stumble bum approach to national leadership has simply been let slide by those who proclaim to be in charge.

Dr Evatt, Labor’s foreign minister guided the creation of the modern state of Israel. Bob Hawke called it right when he said “If the bell tolls for Israel”. Julia Gillard, a lioness of the Left, also backs Israel and our local Jewish population. Nova Peris and Daniel Andrews are patrons and leaders of Labor Friends of Israel.

Mike Kelly is on the executive, a former SAS commander who served Australia in the war zone of the Middle East. Albo by contrast is nothing more than a time server in our own domestic warzone, driven by imported hatreds from the Middle East.

Anti-Semitism hasn’t been a problem for Labor until Albanese’s fundamental weakness as a human allowed the self preservation antics of Tony Burke to flourish all while being backed in by the “wished she could’ve led the Greens Party” Senator Penny Wong and her love for Hamas at the UN.

Burke, Wong and Ed Husic are the kids left at home by a derelict parent, Albanese, to flick lit matches at the curtains. Is it any wonder Labor’s house is on fire and its completely lost all sense on Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah and that global pariah, Iran?

Why after Muslim protesters stood on our Opera House steps yelling vile abuse like “Gas the Jews”, just a day after the October 7 massacre, rape, torching and hostage taking of civilian Jews, was no-one arrested?

Why after a Christian bishop was stabbed by a home grown jihadi did it take the authorities days to declare it a terrorist act? When isn’t the deliberate torching of a Jewish synagogue automatically declared a terrorist act. Albo took a full 48 hours to say it was and still won’t visit before tomorrow.

The police, our security authorities and Labor politicians are all in a self-serving circle jerk where apparently calling any of these acts out as “Islamic extremism” is apparently just too hard to say.

I can guarantee the sanctimonious words of Albanese as he stands outside the synagogue will also mention “Islamophobia” as many times he does “Anti-Semitism” as if there’s any equivalence at all.

Sorry PM, Muslim mosques, even those who house hate preachers and those teaching Jihad aren’t under attack. Weekly rallies holding signs saying “Down with Israel” or Muslim leaders tweeting support for Hamas aren’t being matched by anything towards the Muslim community.

We are all sick of being told about a problem that doesn’t exist as an excuse for the PM to not actually address the issue at hand — we have Middle Eastern terrorism on Australian soil.

Many have citizenship, many with low or no security checks, who think holding hatreds from half a world away and now acting on them is the new Australian way. It isn’t. This sickness and infection has only been allowed to spread under Albanese’s weak as watch.

How many more meetings of hand wringing Imam’s and mothers of radicalised sons saying they knew nothing do we have to tolerate for Labor politicians to stand up and authorise the police do their job?

Twenty four years ago in Western Sydney, over 4 weeks, Australian girls were terrified of a group of gang rapists. Despite harrowing testimony the police requested victims not refer to the men’s ethnicity, despite clear identification at the first incident.

Only years later would the public know that the 14 boys and young men were all Lebanese, many Muslim raised. One of the victims gave testimony that as she was raped her perpetrator called her an “Aussie Pig”, said “You deserve it because you are Australian” and lastly, “going to rape you Leb-style”.

Our political class were so keen not to offend a group who so clearly self-identified they didn’t stand with the victims of those awful and heinous crimes lest they offend Lebanese gang rapists.

“Albanese style” isn’t leadership, rather a tape of a slow-moving car wreck on a repeated loop.

Turning a blind eye to the background and motivation of these criminals only gives them more hope to escalate and commit worse and worse crimes. Where there is crime their needs to be punishment.

Albanese always appears two or more days behind the media cycle, but I now think he’s months if not years behind where the rest of Australia now is on so many issues.

The synagogue and the vile slurs and attacks on Jews in Australia is a vile attack on us all.

To borrow a saying from the CFMEU “Touch one, touch all”. It’s time for Labor to stand with Israel because that means standing up for Australia.

We need so much more than words mouthed, we need strong actions to protect Jewish Australians and in so doing protect all of Australians.

A PM who lacks any moral fibre and is simply in the stream being pushed along isn’t an Australian leader and certainly doesn’t deserve to remain our PM.
