Gun control. Nobody needs these sort of weapons and someone who is 'known to authorities' should never get a license. This is a huge clarion call for gun control in America. Watch it go nowhere as people focus on the radical Islam angle.

It's easier to stop radical Muslim immigration than to make 300 million guns disappear.

If the US had similar gun ownership rates to aus and they were registered than a ban is feasible. With that many, no chance.

Oh yeah, NZ has AR15s (which are not assault rifles)
as well and they aren't drowning in blood.

I'd like to go through worthy minors in the senate ticket before hitting Labour and Coalition, and the hardest part is going to be knowing who to not number, or even if I should shove them below majors in some order to avoid fundies deciding an exhausted vote. Is there a guide I can look to before the election, or should I just go to Greens volunteers on election day? I've never actually taken a how to vote so I don't know if they even cover the senate. I'm in VIC.

wombat74,

Today the Institute of Public Affairs has revealed 31,000 Victorian jobs will be lost or put at risk if Labor is elected.

Under a Shorten Labor government, 31,000 Victorian families will be under threat. 31,000 families will struggle without the security of employment - everyday things like paying bills, buying new school uniforms and filling the car with petrol become harder.

We cannot stand by and let this happen.

Can you help us protect Victorians from Labor's reckless policies?

Labor's economic and fiscal chaos would be a disaster for Victoria.

Only the Turnbull Liberal Team has a Plan for a Strong New Economy which will provide growth, jobs and a secure future.

Thanks for your support,

If you don't know what a party is it's probably a libertarian vote funnel.

Actually I looked this up and the worst massacre in US history, on US soil, was either Fort Pillow (White Christians killing black people) or Wounded Knee (White Christians killing natives).

A radical Muslim committed the attack in the name of ISIS. Radical Muslims have shot up a bunch of people in Australia. But sure let's ignore that and blame the gun, because those people would be less dead if he's thrown a few Molotov in through the window then blocked the door.

PM pledges 'zero tolerance' for anti-gay preacher

Today both leaders have been asked about the visa of British anti-gay preacher Farrokh Sekaleshfar, who is currently in Earlwood, Sydney.

The Islamic cleric has been quoted as describing death as an appropriate sentence for homosexuality.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has asked his department to conduct a review into the preacher's visa.

He said he had "zero tolerance" for people who come to Australia to preach hate.

"As you know this is a legal matter and has to be dealt with in the appropriate way but his visa is being reviewed at the request, the direction I should say, of the Minister even as we speak."

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said the cleric was not welcome in Australia.

"Let's call it straight. We've got a character test in our visas. I think the Government needs to get onto it quick smart and this person, in my opinion, is not welcome in Australia holding those abhorrent views."

Meh, in honesty gently caress this guy. We get rightly pissed when anti-vaccination preachers or Christian fundamentalists calling for murder get kicked to the curb here. It's not a good sign to be a moral relativist about these things when the morals espoused by the individuals are abhorrent.

I don't think being in favour of an immigration department that isn't run on an ad-hoc basis counts as moral relativism.
