4585 - Police and Counter-terrorism - INCIDENTS INVESTIGATED UNDER STRIKE FORCE PEARL
Latham, Mark to the Minister for Agriculture, Minister for Regional New South Wales, and Minister for Western New South Wales representing the Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism, and Minister for the Hunter
(1) I refer you to the answer provided to the recent Budget Estimates, on notice, by the acting Police Commissioner Peter Thurtell regarding serious attacks on people and property motivated by antisemitic ideology, such that, "Fourteen incidents were investigated under Strike Force Pearl which were at the higher end of offending, being attacks on synagogues, graffitti, firebombings, attacks on cars and attacks on houses", and ask:
(a)
(b)
of these 14, how many were investigations of incidents that did not lead to any charges being laid? of the remaining (where charges were laid), how many were perpetrated by:
Iran or agents of the Iranian regime? other foreign agents?
people associated with and paid by organised crime figures?
(c)
Of those not covered by (a) and (b) (that is, were a product of genuine homegrown anti-semitic ideology), what was the nature of the incident and what criminal proceedings have been pursued by the NSW Police Force?
Answer -
I am advised that:
(1)
(a) All 14 incidents have resulted in charges being laid.
(b)
(i)
(ii)
Strike Force Pearl investigated 14 incidents which were at the higher end of offending, being attacks on synagogues, graffiti, firebombings, attacks on cars and attacks on houses. The NSW Police Force has nil holdings in relation to Iran or agents of the Iranian regime perpetrating these incidents.

            No media about this?
NSW Police investigated 14 incidents of alleged antisemitic attacks and found NO evidence of Iran or any other foreign agent acting in relation to the 14 alleged antisemitic incidences
The Minns and Albanese govts both exploited this falsehood to further their own agendas

            I'm currently doing analysis on the CGT legislation for my thesis. I think, fundamentally, it was the cult of aspiration. Rewarding privilege, demonising those not white middle class, turbocharging the Menzien "little capitalist" dream. Those decisions are the cancer that is eating us now.

This is a decision that will lock Australia into providing coal for decades, and put threatened wildlife at risk.

                Abstract for RDP 2025-05: How Costly are Mark-ups in Australia? The Effect of Declining Competition on Misallocation and Productivity
                
            
        
    
    
            RBA discovers that workers have not got the benefits of productivity growth.
Next up they provide proof that water is wet.
Oh well. Nice of them to catch up.

                                            More than half of Australians (61%) say they have not heard, or are not sure if they have heard, the term βclimate riskβ.
Only two in five Australians (39%) say they have heard of the term βclimate riskβ.
When asked if they were aware of any actions the federal government is taking to manage or reduce the negative impacts of climate change:
59% of Australians either arenβt sure or are not aware of any actions.
40% of Australians say they are aware of actions the federal government is taking to manage or reduce the negative impacts of climate change.
                                                
    
    
    
    
            Ahead of @jimchalmers.bsky.social Productivity Roundtable, the govt still hasnβt released the national climate risk assessment. Most Australians havenβt even heard of βclimate riskβ while insurers, polluters & govt act on data the public canβt see.
