Is mass immigration destroying Australia, or did the Bondi attack prove that courage transcends birthplace and religion?

The Spin
Right narrative
Mass immigration is destroying Australia's way of life and fueling division, hatred and escalating crime on the streets. The Bondi attack proves decades of warnings about multiculturalism were right. The situation is a complete mess, which helps explain why so many Australians felt angry and frustrated. Unless Australians stop voting for leaders who prioritize immigration for votes over national identity, the country will follow England's path toward losing its identity entirely.
Left narrative
The Bondi attack revealed Australian values at their finest when a Syrian Muslim shop owner tackled the terrorist and disarmed him while bullets flew, proving that courage and decency aren't determined by birthplace or religion. Blaming immigration misses the real failure — authorities ignored warning signs about the attacker since 2019, showing the problem isn't who enters Australia but whether dangerous extremists are properly monitored.
