In a brazen display of misdirection, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the aftermath of a deadly Islamic terror attack at Bondi Beach to sound alarms about “right-wing extremist groups” and push for even stricter gun laws—despite the firearms involved being legally owned under Australia’s already draconian regulations.
The attack, which claimed at least 16 lives during a Hanukkah celebration, exposes the failures of unchecked immigration and intelligence lapses, yet as usual leaders seem hell-bent on blaming everything but the ideology behind it.
The horror unfolded Sunday when a father-son duo from Pakistan, identified as Naveed Akram and his son, opened fire on a Jewish community gathering at Archer Park beside Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach.
Police confirmed the assault as an antisemitic terrorist act, with the perpetrators linked to radical Islamic views. Akram, previously known to Australia’s security agency ASIO for associations with extremists, held a valid gun license and owned multiple firearms used in the massacre.
According to reports, the son had been on ASIO’s radar since 2019 but was deemed no ongoing threat—a glaring oversight that allowed the pair to arm themselves legally and strike on the first night of Hanukkah.
In a press conference Monday, Albanese addressed the nation but quickly pivoted from the Islamic roots of the violence. “The Director-General of ASIO has warned about a range of threats, be it antisemitism, the rise of right wing extremist groups as well,” he stated, lumping in unrelated bogeymen with the actual perpetrators.
The PM insisted on “continu[ing] to work closely with our security agencies” while broadening the narrative far beyond the facts.
? WTF?! After Islamic terrorists KILLED 15 people in Australia, the prime minister warns about "right-wing extremist groups"

You've GOT to be kidding me.
If the threat was right-wingers, trust me, YOU'D KNOW. pic.twitter.com/fB7JYUewue

It’s the same playbook we’ve seen time after time: downplay Islamic extremism to avoid offending certain groups, while amplifying fears of “right-wing” elements to justify surveillance and crackdowns on dissent.
It’s another case of radicalized individuals slipping through borders and systems designed to prioritize diversity over safety.
Not content with deflection, Albanese also seized the moment to call for “tougher gun laws.”
He announced plans to convene the National Cabinet that afternoon to discuss “limits on the number of guns that can be used or licensed by individuals, and a review of licences over a period of time.”
“People’s circumstances change, people can be radicalised over a period of time. Licences should not be in perpetuity,” Albanese declared, framing the issue as one of administrative tweaks rather than ideological infiltration.
? JUST IN: The Australian Prime Minister is now planning EVEN MORE gun control after the Islamic terror attack in Bondi Beach.

Australia has some of the world's STRICTEST gun laws.
These politicians don't seem to grasp the MUSLIMS were the problem in this case; NOT THE GUNS. pic.twitter.com/y5MUwbP5Rg
Australian laws already ban most semi-automatic weapons and require strict licensing for firearms.
Yet, as confirmed by authorities, the guns in this attack were legally acquired under those very laws. Australia boasts some of the world’s tightest firearm restrictions, with ownership rates far below America’s and a buyback program that disarmed millions in the mid 1990s.
If gun control worked as advertised, Bondi should have been impossible. Instead, it proves criminals—and terrorists—ignore rules, while politicians use tragedies to erode freedoms for everyone else.
From a recent ABC News update, state and territory leaders have already agreed in principle to these measures, including enhanced checks and potential limits on private arsenals. But this ignores the elephant in the room: the attackers’ radicalization, not their access to tools.
Details emerging paint a damning picture. The father, Naveed Akram, held a gun license despite his son’s prior scrutiny by ASIO for extremist ties. The agency examined the younger Akram in 2019 due to “being associated with others,” but concluded there was “no indication of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence,” Albanese relayed in the presser.
? JUST IN: It's been confirmed that the firearms used in the Australia Islamic terror attack were *LEGALLY* owned.

Politicians have spent YEARS adding more and more gun control in Australia.
It turns out, gun control is NOT the solution.pic.twitter.com/2gZMgRq8yh
This isn’t about guns—it’s about an ideology that breeds violence and borders that let it in. Australia, like much of the West, has grappled with rising antisemitism and jihadist threats amid mass migration.
The Bondi attackers didn’t need illegal weapons; they exploited a system more focused on virtue-signaling than vetting.
Albanese’s response echoes the elite’s aversion to naming radical Islam, preferring to smear “right-wing” phantoms and disarm citizens. It’s the same pattern seen allnover Europe and in the U.S. under Biden: import problems, then blame locals for reacting.
Albanese didn’t stop at guns and extremists. He touted extensions for Jewish community security funding and insurance declarations under terrorism acts—necessary steps, but bandaids on a wound caused by policy failures. “What we saw yesterday was an act of pure evil, an act of terror, an act of antisemitism,” he said, correctly identifying the motive but failing to connect it to broader immigration woes.
Critics point out the irony: while Albanese vows to “eradicate hate,” his government has been slow on deportations and border security, allowing radical elements to fester. As a Guardian report notes, Akram was “previously known to security agencies,” yet retained his firearms.
This hypocrisy fuels distrust. Why target law-abiding gun owners when the issue is vetting and ideology? It’s a power grab, plain and simple, aligning with the anti-freedom agenda pushed by globalists who fear armed populists more than actual terrorists.
Australia’s leaders must wake up. More gun laws won’t stop jihadists radicalized in mosques or online.
Secure borders, swift deportations, and honest acknowledgment of Islamic extremism will. Until then, tragedies like Bondi will repeat, and the real threats will thrive while freedoms erode.
