Phil Mercer, BBC Reporter based in Sydney, outlines Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's plans to crack down on hate speech, following Sunday's deadly shooting at Bondi Beach that targeted a Jewish festival.

In the wake of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack over the weekend, the Albanese government is fast-tracking a suite of legislative reforms aimed at cracking down on hate speech and tightening migration laws to avert individuals with extremist views. While the government faces pressure to introduce harsher border policies, it has rejected calls for a Royal Commission, arguing that immediate executive action and enforcement are more urgent than a lengthy public inquiry. - После теракта на пляже Бондай в минувшие выходные правительство Албанезе ускоряет реализацию ряда законодательных реформ, направленных на борьбу с разжиганием ненависти и ужесточение миграционного законодательства для предотвращения въезда лиц с экстремистскими взглядами. Правительство отклонило призывы к созданию Королевской комиссии, утверждая, что немедленные действия исполнительной власти и обеспечение соблюдения закона более приоритетны, чем длительное публичное расследование.

THE SOMALI FRAUD STATE: $1B STOLEN, A CINNABON MELTDOWN, AND THE WHITE HOUSE CRACKDOWN Minnesota just became ground zero for one of the biggest welfare fraud scandals in American history — more than $1 BILLION stolen through fake autism centers, kickbacks, overseas real estate, and money that may have even reached the Somali terrorist group al-Shabab. Now CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz is warning Gov. Tim Walz that Minnesota could lose federal Medicaid funding unless the state cleans up decades of corruption and identity-politics paralysis. And while billions vanish, a Cinnabon worker is instantly fired after a viral confrontation with a Somali couple — the perfect symbol of America's double standard: protected activist groups get political immunity while working-class Americans get crushed. Meanwhile, the Trump White House has launched Operation Metro Surge, ripping violent Somali offenders off the streets of Minneapolis and exposing what Democrats refused to acknowledge for years.
