Last Post: Jewish Australians need more security

With what looks terrifyingly like a nascent civil war in the streets of the country, are we living in Australia or the eternally at war Middle East?

Our Prime Minister has proven to be just all hat and no cattle.

Rob Webster, Quirindi, NSW

Maybe, just maybe, Anthony Albanese is starting to realise that sacrificing the safety of Jews in Australia for the sake of a few Muslim-heavy seats does have consequences.

Tennis Albo is a lingering and painful condition that can affect an entire nation. There is no known cure before the next election.

Peter Sweeney, Balmain, NSW

Aha, now I understand. When the Prime Minister says he wants to serve, he means tennis.

A taskforce to report on anti-Semitism? Sir Humphrey Appleby has a lot to answer for.

Peter McEwen, Centennial Park, NSW

Anthony Albanese has offered a Band-Aid for Jewish Australians instead

of beefing up security for beleaguered Jewish families with adequate laws to put a stop to intimidation and violence.

Someone should buy Penny Wong an atlas. She’d see parts of Ukraine annexed by Russia and a string of islands overrun by China while tiny Israel stands alone, surrounded by Islamic regimes that want to destroy it. And yet she can find no difference between them? None so blind.

Pre-election cash splashes to buy votes are fine while the money comes out of party funds but it’s not fine when the taxpayer must foot the bill.

Brian D. Lee, Cairns, Qld

Rather than blaming the Reserve Bank for keeping interest rates on hold, we should be blaming the unions for demanding above-inflation pay rises with no productivity gains. That just locks in inflation and keeps the interest rate higher.

A suggestion for Peter Dutton: we could remove the Union Jack from the corner of our flag and replace it with the Aboriginal flag. That would be a truly Australian flag.

Dawn Reilly, Graceville, Qld

Peter Dutton is correct. There is only one sovereignty that we all share, and there can be only one flag to symbolise that.
