Ok, so the Firearms Act should include a clause that forbids gun owners from the freedom to express views that besides being harmless, these views go against the mainstream? Are you saying
Australia no longer allows free speech?
Haha did we ever have such a freedom?
unfortunately a firearm licence is only ever held at the pleasure (the discretion) of the Chief commissioner or his/her minions as may be delegated....
Had he have suggested Mal was a Buddhist.... there would have been no biggie...would have been laughed off, but mention Jew, and you're done for.
Funny how he's labeled a loon when he invoked the chosen people though...and is it that ridiculous to suggest a Jewish connection? Well, there was conveniently no mention of this recent interview with Mel himself talking about the same....

IT’S official. Malcolm Turnbull is Jewish … well, at least as far as his mother was concerned.
Speaking to The AJN this week,
the shadow minister for communications and broadband recalled his mother, the author and academic Coral Magnolia Lansbury,
discussing her heritage.
“
My mother always used to say that her mother’s family was Jewish,” the member for Wentworth said.
However, he added, “I’ve never researched it. I honestly don’t know where or how I would do that,”
Asked if his mother’s revelation has shaped his views he said: “Yes, maybe.”
“I grew up in the Eastern Suburbs and as we all observe there were a lot of Jews in the Eastern Suburbs and I have always been very comfortable.
“There is no doubt that the strong traditions of family and the whole heimishe atmosphere of the Jewish community, which I’m sure some people don’t like, for me – as someone who is a good friend, but not part of it – I find very admirable.”
Reflecting on his mother, he noted, “She had a lot of Jewish friends in Sydney and a lot of Jewish friends in Philadelphia, where she was living when she died.”
Jewish genealogist Eli Rabinowitz, who calls himself a mishpachah-ologist because he likes to connect people with their past, recently returned from the International Jewish Genealogical Conference in Boston.
He told The AJN if Turnbull is interested, he could help trace his Jewish lineage.“It’s very possible for Malcolm to trace his heritage if he wants to from clues that he may have from his parents and grandparents,” Rabinowitz said.“I’d happily offer to help him if he would let me.”

As far as Israel and terrorism, 'modern' terrorism pretty much started in Palestine, c/- those who formed the first Israeli government, King David hotel, Deir Yassin... etc etc. The State sponsored many foreign 'expeditions' to deal with individuals they wanted fixed... After the 76 ollies they spent years tracking down, around the globe those perps, not condoning their actions, but when you go into another Sovereign country and kill people.....
Recent years a group of Mossad agents, went to Dubai was it?? using fake AUSTRALIAN passports to assassinate someone. But what is that, is it not terrorism if it is officially sanctioned??
Supporting ISIS?? A great deal has been said and reported about links... many pictures even of Netanyahu visiting/comforting/shaking hands with Syrian rebel/ISIS fighter while being 'repaired' in Israel.... Reports of not only CIA but also Mossad agent working on the ground with the ISIS and "moderate"(laughable) opposition...
But just dont mention any of it if you wish to keep your Firearm licence.
