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
