shalailah No investigating in the government though?That was stopped by the government right? It is not happening?That threatens all Australians?Just these selective few rich people affiliated with the conspiracies of the Covid vaccine threatened by'words'but not lack of government action

shalailah Just not actual threats, like bigger more integral to our structural design of humanity threats? Threatening billions of people? Not those threats? Just words on paper considered threatening to people who have lots of money or are affiliated with illegal/political drug pushing?

Lol. Would have never happened if they didn't provide protection to all those RWNJS.

not soon enough

Threats against Dan is a good place to start

All these new security laws to collect our metadata the LNP demanded to keep us safe, and they can’t even protect politicians receiving death threats.

We won't hold our breath...

Wow. A lightning AustralianFederalPolice responce to murder threats to State Politicians and rape threats to their female staff, A WEEK LATER FFS 😲😕 Hmmm, the fact it's the Labout State Premiers who have been threatened directly is just coincidence right? Right? Alt RIGHT? 🤔

MSMWatchdog2013 How much budget is this going to take because from where I am sitting watching, this is only going to be on the increase as everyday people are pushed past breaking point...

Are they the commission investigating corruption in our oh so Honourable Government? Oh no, ScottMorrisonMP ceased that one from further investigating corruption in government.Not hiding anything,just because something stuff&things, Hawaii haircut, oh look, a Bunnings snag🧐

DO NO HARM, DON'T be a corrupt parasite, do your jobs= NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF! The cops should investigate them instead of 'protecting 'them'! Who is protecting us from the parasites?

I can't recall, were the protesters that actually hit Julie Bishop in2014 ever charged? 🤷‍♀️

Like the so called attack to the Melbourne MPs daughter who instigated and incited the attack

Why not investigating ‘specific threats’ against people?

About fucking time.

Jesus we’re turning into Trump’s America

TimWattsMP AusFedPolice Let’s include the UAP activist and leader of a pro-Putin paramilitary group who posted about trying and executing Dan Andrews: “Nuremberg 2.0 is coming”

Just not investing the Non-LNP ones?

While the right wing activism has long been mentioned, I believe recently it’s the violence incited by left wingers that is getting to dangerous levels.

They will only investigate threats against LNP members because they only represent LNP interests

Hmmm like Taylors forged Pdf or Porters Rape it will go nowhere. Simply a media PR exercise otherwise those inciting & threatening would've been in custody already.

Antivaxxers need to be charged for their vial threats and intimidation. If you have an issue then protest peacefully and don't force it on others.

What were the words of ScottMorrisonMP? 'Australians to take their lives back' Could these words inflame and incite extremists threatening politicians?

Good

Good, hope you find them and call them to account!

Starting with the LNP.

How sad. Poor little boy had a full life in front of him. You are a special kind of evil if you kill a child! Just listening to the podcast, impossible to believe the foster mum had anything to do with it - and she was highly critical of the police work in recent years...
