They’re Not Helping Anyone with This

Like their UK counterparts, NSW police seem determined to prioritise ‘social cohesion’ above everything, which means, in practice, constantly covering up for the enormities of certain groups. And, most often, Muslims in Australia.

It began at the dawn of the new millennium, with two sets of high-profile crimes. The first was a series of brutal gang-rapes of white Australian girls by Muslim boys. NSW police issued a press release describing the crimes while the Sydney Olympics were distracting media attention. Left media attacked anyone who pointed out the explicit racial motivation of the crimes.

Five years later, with the Cronulla riots, NSW police, in cahoots again with the media, carefully covered up the actions of Sydney Muslims. These included hundreds of carloads of Muslims cruising Sydney’s streets that night, attacking anyone ‘Aussie’ looking with bats, bars and knives. One man was stabbed until the knife broke off in his back.

Even more alarmingly, NSW police covered up that they had intercepted two related terror plots: one to commit a drive-by at a surf club with a machine gun; the other to throw a grenade into a crowded pub. In their book, The Cronulla Riots: The Inside Story, former NSW Police Minister Carl Scully and former Assistant Commissioner Mark Goodwin actually congratulate themselves for keeping these horrific stories under wraps.

Because it preserved ‘social cohesion’.

NSW police are still at it.

It was all a criminal hoax. That was the headline from this week’s police admission that the explosives-packed caravan found in January at Dural in Sydney’s northwest was never going to cause a mass casualty event.

“Never” is a lie. Of course it could have: a caravan packed with mining explosives always could go off, even if it wasn’t intended to. But that’s beside the point: the point is that it was designed to cause terror. Under Australian law, even a bomb hoax is still a terror event.

A string of ostensibly anti-Semitic acts in Sydney since October 2024 – arson attacks on a preschool, a Jewish bakery, a kitchen, a synagogue and numerous anti-Jewish graffiti attacks – these were all masterminded by organised crime. It’s claimed there was no ideological motive at play.

Except that the alleged mastermind, accused drug dealer Sayit Erhan Akca, has a long history of open, extreme, anti-Semitism.

The Labor government’s motives are also questionable, to say the least.

The government’s failure to handle this information more responsibly should be condemned. I have never seen a government deliberately withhold such a salient fact from an opposition on a domestic security issue. Between Albanese and Burke’s comments, a picture emerges of Labor using the fears of Australian Jews as way to politically manipulate Dutton’s comments.

But it’s the actions of the NSW police force, taken in the context of its long history of covering up Islamic crime in the name of ‘social cohesion’, that merit the closest scrutiny.

Remember that the NSW police force was the entity that used extraordinary “forensic analysis” to “prove” that chants at the Sydney Opera House in October 2023 said “where’s the Jews” rather than “Gas the Jews”.

Even if true – and it doesn’t seem so to most people who listened to the audio and clearly heard ‘Gas the Jews’ – how is this in any way reassuring? What did the violent Muslim mob intend to do, if they indeed found out where ‘the Jews’ were, that night? This is a Muslim community, remember, that erupted into spontaneous celebration when the news of the horrific massacre on October 7 broke.

There are, additionally, many gaps in the police story yet to be properly filled. If these anti-Semitic incidents in Sydney were part of an organised crime plot to allow an individual to bargain for a lesser jail sentence, how is it that this person is overseas and apparently at liberty?

Moreover, how can the police be certain that anti-Semitism wasn’t a factor? Why are they so confident that organised criminal kingpins aren’t anti-Jewish?

Which, in fact, we know for a fact that they are.

NSW police weren’t just trying to pull the wool over our eyes – they were lying to our faces.

The Australian Federal Police don’t seem to be much better, especially when what appears suspiciously like diversity hiring is clouding the picture.

Krissy Barrett from the AFP [..] is in her early 40s, with a master’s degree, an overseas deployment to Solomon Islands and a string of “first female” roles with the AFP including heading the national security command.

But, I digress.

The way the Dural caravan “hoax” has been handled risks people drawing the wrong conclusion that anti-Semitism isn’t as big a problem as many have claimed.

Albanese said last Wednesday “the fact that it was a hoax does not mean that it didn’t create fear for the Jewish community”.

Note, though, the undertone that a created fear is not a fear based in reality […] It seems the government’s position is subtly shifting from a concern about anti-Semitism to a concern about a Jewish fear of anti-Semitism.

The issue is that Australian authorities, at all levels, seem far too preoccupied with papering over Islamic crime for the sake of engendering a false sense of security. As if what we don’t know about can’t hurt us… until it starts shouting ‘Allahu Akbar!’ and going on yet another murderous rampage.

Then they’ll just call us ‘racist’ for noticing.
