I'm with Rob, thanks to the #RealHeroes who called out #BoorlooTerror.
Terrorism charges have been laid against the as yet unnamed offender in Perth.
In my opinion this only happened due to the outrage from all sections of the community. To the non-Aboriginal people who have been complaining and helping keep this alive, thank you. It’s your voices that mattered.

Albanese must lead a strong response to the Boorloo Day of Mourning bomb attack.
After the horror at Bondi we saw that leadership on violence and racism is possible with political will.
The same urgency is needed on rising threats against First Peoples.

Aboriginal people across the continent have been shouting out the hypocrisy of the media and govt for not talking about the explosive device thrown into a group of Invasion Day protesters in Boorloo/Perth. 1st I heard about it was from Tarneen Onus Browne. Politicians still haven’t brought it up.

The news has been covering the attempting bombing at the Boorloo Invasion Day march responsibly imo — but what were all noticing is the lack of commentary that would usually bulk out the column inches and front pages after these events.
The professional opinionhavers have distinctly no opinions.

Where is the overwhelming support for our #Muslim brothers and sisters?
Where are the extra security, the enquiries, and new laws to protect them, @australianlabor.bsky.social?
Looks just like your treatment of our #Indigenous brothers and sisters after #BoorlooTerror @albomp.bsky.social
Yuck!

Antisemitism Envoy admits she 'wasn't focused on' unequal protections in 'hate laws' seeking to protect only one religion. The bias isn't a bug it's a feature.

Excellent news. As far as I can tell Lidia Thorpe has done the whole Australian community a huge service as well as FN communities. Heroic! To be silent about the attempted bombing would encourage further acts of #violence. #auspol
"Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe has called out the "silence" of media & politics ... amid a successful senate motion by Thorpe (co-sponsored by senators Malarndirri McCarthy, Jana Stewart & Dorinda Cox, & passed without opposition) to condemn the attempted bombing of an Invasion Day rally."

Good. But the delays and general lack of response on #BallaratTerror will feed the same resentment as #BoorlooTerror @tonyburkemp.bsky.social
It's becoming very obvious we matter less than others.
That breaks the Australian social contract in my opinion.

A man threw a bomb into the crowd at an #InvasionDay rally in Boorloo (Perth) on 26Jan. The device contained explosive liquid, ball bearings & screws. Fortunately it didn't explode. Terrorism. Minimal media coverage, using gentle language: "a device designed to explode". 😠 #auspol #journalism

...and got huge amounts of support for it. However, Indigenous ( #BoorlooTerror ) and Muslims ( #BallaratTerror ) suffered attacks and were treated like they didn't matter. There is a clear difference in treatment that arises from privilege.

Amnesty International Australia condemns attack at Boorloo Invasion Day rally, calls on WA Police & govt to investigate the incident as a hate crime. Federal Govt must fully implement Australian Human Rights Commission’s anti-racism framework & expand RC into antisemitism to cover all racism ...
