    Hope it results in easier access to free mental health programmes. Like how Port Arthur led to the expensive (and politically brave) gun buyback scheme.

      That’d be ideal but you know that the perpetrator isn’t white the LNP is going to flog their heritage as the cause. Particularly as their main line of attack at the moment is “Labor is soft on migration”

        And if it is a white perpetrator who targeted non-whites then Libs will insist it is mental illness rather than white supremacy indoctrination.

        It is pretty white in Bondi Junction though. I doubt a white supremacist terrorist could have found so many victims so quickly.
