From tolerance to terror

By Josh Frydenberg - posted Thursday, 18 December 2025


We need answers. We need solutions. We need action.

And Prime Minister, I heard you say yesterday that you're ready for the fight on guns.

Well, let me tell you, guns may have stolen the lives of 15 innocent civilians but it was radical Islamist ideology that pulled the trigger.

And if you, Prime Minister, can't say those words "radical Islamist ideology" you can't solve them.

So Prime Minister, you have failed us.

Your government has failed us.

You sit in the chair. It's time you earned the title.

If you don't want to do the job, give it to somebody who will.
