Picture of a forlorn woman looking like the admission shot from the Reality TV show Cheaters, with a caption reading "Zelinda Sherlock apologised and says she misunderstood the policy surrounding the snacks. (ABC News: Kate Nickels)"

The biggest problem with Australia is that our the media hates the country and everything must be bad always at all times. Here is today's example from just the front page of Murdoch's NewsDotcom. So many examples it needs a thread!

If you're going for quilted maple, search around the reclaimed wood stuff. When it sits for a hundred years or so it gets a 3D look rather than the bubbles of 2D. This maple is about 200 years old off what looks like a 250 year old tree (before it became part of a church (orginally))

There is certainly foreign influence operations run by Israel in Australia about anti-semitism as a foreign policy objective, but to use that as bulwark to say there is no antisemitism on the left is a fantasy. Just one example from tonight

She was a unique dog . If we had friends around, she'd sit on a chair around the table with the rest of us and participate. She'd make an entrance to a room for attention, and if no one paid attention, she'd go back and do it again with dramatic flair to gather some. Best trainer of young dogs too

Via the Guardian, all up, that's a pretty good day

With that, we will wrap the blog for the evening. We’ll be back first thing tomorrow – take care of yourselves.

Until then, these were today’s biggest news headlines:

The opposition leader, Sussan Ley, has said the Albanese government’s proposed hate speech and anti-vilification legislation appears “pretty unsalvageable” and rejected suggestions of hypocrisy by the Coalition after weeks of calls for new laws to tackle antisemitism.

The Greens have said the party will not support the government’s hate speech bill “in its current form”.

The head of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry has called on the opposition to rethink its opposition to the government’s hate speech laws and seek amendments from Labor.

Allegra Spender has urged the Coalition to follow through on their calls for “urgent action” in the wake of the Bondi terror attack.

The Adelaide festival has reinstated its invitation to Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah to Adelaide writers’ week for 2027 and issued an unreserved apology amid the firestorm over the decision to remove her from its program.

Abdel-Fattah said she accepts the apology, but says it won’t be a “quick fix” to repair damage done.

The South Australian premier, Peter Malinauskas, said he was informed of the new board’s decision to apologise to Abdel-Fattah, but he did not agree with that decision.

Major demonstrations in Sydney planned for 26 January could still go ahead even if a declaration restricting protests is extended beyond that date, as police confirm they are working with different organisers on contingencies.

"Frydenberg 'deeply offended' by question on politics" Fun fact: Since 2014, national public approval of Frydenberg among polling respondents AFTER screening for the "Do you know who this bloke is" thing, was underwater every time, every year, until he was kicked out of his own seat 8 years in.

Josh Frydenberg takes issue with Sarah Ferguson's question about politics. This is what she asks:

"It is widely viewed as inevitable that you will return to politics. How do we not see this through a political lens, that you're making a personal case against the minister?"

He says he is "deeply offended" by the question.

"That is an insult to say there is any political motivation in this. No, Sarah, the reality is this. I am an Australian who has to have personal security because my life is in danger in this country, and I was the treasurer of this country," he said.

"My children go to a school where there are armed guards outside. When I visit a Jewish care centre there are armed guards outside. When I send my kids to sporting clubs there are police cars out there and police tape.

"Why should we live with this? If I'm not going to speak out, who is? If not now, when? If not me, who? This was an attack on Jewish Australians."

Narratives? Exploitative political narratives I hear you ask? Ah well, nevertheless

Australia's domestic intelligence agency, ASIO, examined Bondi gunman Naveed Akram six years ago for his close ties to a Sydney-based Islamic State group (IS) terrorism cell, the ABC understands.

Naveed Akram, 24, and his father Sajid Akram, 50, killed at least 15 people yesterday evening when they opened fire on the Chanukah by the Sea event.

The ABC understands investigators from the Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) believe the gunmen had pledged allegiance to the IS terrorist group.

An IS flag was found in the men's car at Bondi Beach, according to a senior JCTT official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The official said ASIO took an interest in Naveed Akram six years ago, after police foiled plans for an IS terrorist attack.

The ABC understands ASIO started looking into the man soon after the July 2019 arrest of IS terrorist Isaak El Matari in Sydney.

The official said Mr Akram was closely connected to Mr Matari, who is serving seven years' jail for planning an IS insurgency as the self-declared Australian commander of the terrorist group.

Mr Matari was part of an IS cell with several other Sydney men who have since been convicted of terrorist offences and were also close to Naveed Akram, according to sources with close knowledge of the matter.

ASIO director-general Mike Burgess said on Sunday that one of the gunmen was known to the agency, but did not specify which man.

"One of these individuals was known to us, but not in an immediate-threat perspective, so we need to look into what happened here," he said.

The Joint Counter Terrorism Team comprises ASIO, NSW Police, the Australian Federal Police and the NSW Crime Commission.

The ABC has contacted ASIO and NSW Police for comment.
