ASIO chief Mike Burgess would be happy working for Putin

Cameron Stewart of “The Australian” newspaper (21 February) reports Burgess as saying:
“As the AUKUS project matures, (foreign adversaries) might go ‘the best way to stop Australia from having this is to turn the community against nuclear-propelled submarines’ … (they will) stir the pot, which will be detrimental to our national interests.”

So Burgess thinks that people like Malcolm Turnbull (and me) who speak out against the AUKUS project are acting against Australia’s “national interests”. In Russia, people who speak out against Russian military policies are often jailed as traitors. Burgess would appear to welcome something like this in Australia.

Australia’s Racist NSW Police

It appears that NSW police will try to have Bankstown hospital nurses Ahmad Rashad Nadi and Sarah Abu Lebdeh taken to court for some emotional comments about Israeli actions in Gaza in a private video conversation with Israeli online provocateur Max Veifer. At the same time they are giving Murdoch owned The Telegraph journalist Danielle Gusmaroli a free pass to try to create a physical confrontation involving a Jewish man at the Cairo Takeaway in Sydney’s Newtown.

Just imagine what would be the case if it were Jewish nurses and a Palestinian provocateur: NSW police would not be interested! And imagine a man with a Hamas scarf entering a shop known to be frequented by Jews. Egged on by Murdoch journalists, the police would be falling over themselves to arrest him on any charge they could think of.

NSW police are little more than racist pawns in the hands of lobby group leaders such as Alex Ryvchin of Executive Council of Australian Jewry. If JD Vance’s approach to security was to be applied to Australia, it would show that domestic players (NSW police, Murdoch journalists, and Jewish lobby groups) are a much bigger threat to Australian freedoms than China.
