From @TheNoisyTrunk on The Site That Shall Not Be Named:
...
Here’s the bit the LNP is hoping everyone forgets:

They didn’t just fail to act after Christchurch.
They very deliberately staged action — then walked away from it.

March 2019: Christchurch happens.
Scott Morrison convenes a national summit.
📢🤡📰Big talk about online extremism, livestreamed violence, radicalisation.
📸📹🎆A Taskforce is announced with fanfare .

June 2019: The Taskforce delivers a detailed report.
Clear recommendations.
Five streams: prevention, detection, transparency, deterrence, capacity building.
Explicit focus on extremist material online.
Clear warning that voluntary measures may not be enough.

It looked like action.
It photographed well.
It bought headlines.

And who was the “tough on security” enforcer front and centre at the time?

Peter Dutton.
Home Affairs Minister.
Permanent scowl.
Endless press conferences about being “strong” and “unapologetic”.
