Last Post: Anti-Semitism puts Anthony Albanese’s leadership to the test

It looks as if the Prime Minister is suffering from tennis Albo.

It seems our Prime Minister is running the country as if he is looking forward to his retirement.

Albo fiddled while Melbourne burned.

The Prime Minister says exercise, that’s what people do. Leadership, Mr Albanese, that’s what prime ministers do.

The Prime Minister’s decision to play tennis when the smoke and stench from Adass Israel Synagogue had not cleared yet shows us this may be Albo’s “I don’t hold a hose” moment.

Albanese’s advisers are doing a terrible job.

Anthony Albanese playing tennis in Cottesloe soon after a synagogue burns in Melbourne? He may as well have been in Hawaii.

The Prime Minister will come to rue the day he decided the Jews of this country don’t warrant much attention because there are so few of them.

It’s difficult for a handsome boy to be a national leader.

Rob Camping, Bellbowrie, Qld

Agreed, exercise is “what people do” – except when you are Prime Minister and need to be elsewhere.

Alex Cleave, North Fremantle, WA

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre has issued a travel warning for Jews visiting Australia. How has it come to this?

Angela Merkel’s book, at 700-plus pages, is big (“Merkel’s grim legacy casts long shadow across Europe”, 10/12). You can stand on it and reach a really good book in your library.

Should work out well for Bashar al-Assad as long as he doesn’t drink tea, go beyond the ground floor in any building or travel on a ship or plane. Russia has a lot of accidents in those places.

Bruce Chalmers, Dalby, Qld

Russian asylum for Assad. You really have hit a low point when as a leader your fallback position is being offered asylum by Putin’s Russia. Iran was his other option. The caviar would be better in Russia, though.
