Poliittinen retorikki tällä hetkellä on myös vaikeaa yhteiskunnalle. Aiemmin Pauliina Hansson, australialainen senaattori ja puolustus- ja anti-immigraatio-paikkojen puolustusjärjestäjä, teki kommentteja kysymään, onko siellä hyviä muslimia. Miten voit kertoa, että siellä on hyviä muslimia? Jos jihad on koskaan kutsuttu, ja ihmiset pitää ymmärtää tätä, katsotaan ja ymmärtää tätä,

Bondi's antisemitic attack in December laid bare the cracks in Australia's ideal of diversity. Rising Islamophobia also a symptom of hostile divisions in a country that saw itself as different, indeed more fortunate, than the rest of the world.

That's the moment Israeli police fired tear gas at ultra-orthodox Jewish men who were throwing stones, burning rubbish bins and attacking officers and their vehicles. Security forces were deployed to the area after large crowds chased two female soldiers through the city streets. Footage showed police escorting the pair away as men yelled and ran after them. Reports suggest they were wrongly suspected of attempting to deliver army conscription orders during an official home visit to one of their colleagues.

Ultra-orthodox men have historically been exempt from military service, but many are now furious over a law that may force them to serve. A hardline movement has established what it calls a national alert system to mobilize the community when the IDF engages in enforcement activities against draft dodgers.

Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemned the attack on the soldiers, but blamed an extremist minority for the violence. Ultra-Orthodox Jews make up about 13% of Israel's population and oppose military service because they believe studying full-time in religious seminaries is their most important duty. But that claim has been criticized by many Israelis, especially during the two-year war in Gaza, with tensions often spilling onto the streets.

I mean this is a story that is obviously a hugely important story, a shocking story. I mean the one conversation I had repeatedly was this doesn't happen here in Australia. I think people were reeling from the violence but reeling from this, the antisemitic attack in particular in a community that had long called for more protection and more notice to be taken.

I respect the king and the queen, and I think our crown prince is pretty good, but I don't like his wife.

he decided to swim back and raise the alarm.

Now he started off in his kayak, but that started taking in water.

So he ditched that and swam about four kilometres before reaching land.

And according to ABC, he did it for two hours in his life jacket, but then decided to ditch that and swim for another couple of hours before reaching land where he was able to raise the alarm.

Yeah, so he got back onto land about six o'clock in the evening.

Then that sparked a massive search.

There was assistance from obviously the police, rescue authorities, Marine Rescue Service.

And about 8.30 in the evening, his mother and two siblings, 12-year-old boy and an eight-year-old girl, they were clinging to a paddleboard.

And that was about 14 kilometres offshore.

So they'd floated out quite considerably.

And of course, you know, it was choppy waters.

It was very windy that day.

But also it's Australia and there are also big sea creatures such as sharks.
