“Extra cultural training” adds insult to injury.
It is for dumbing down people who need to learn about the vile ideology of islam that must be confronted & fought, not coddled and mollified.

Anthony Albanese is set to blow millions of taxpayers’ dollars on “establishing an Islamophobia Education Taskforce” and “supporting Muslim communities through new multicultural grants.”

Houthis see Saudi maritime embargo as an ‘opportunity’
The Houthis appear to be using the announcement of a maritime embargo targeting Saudi Arabia to “redraw the rules” while regional powers are under pressure, an analyst says.
Zeidon Alkinani, founding director of the Arab Perspectives Institute, told Al Jazeera there is “very clear” messaging in the announcement.
There was “no mention of Iran” suggesting the Houthis are acting to exploit what they see as a window of opportunity while both Saudi Arabia and the United States are pre-occupied with Iran. “They’re taking it as an opportunity to redraw the rules imposed on them before,” he said.
Negotiations with the Houthis could be “easier” than talks involving either the US or Iran, which remain in direct confrontation. “From a Houthi perspective they are controlling Yemen, which is in the GCC orbit,” he said.
Alkinani said direct negotiations with the Houthis would now make sense.
Saudi Arabia condemns Houthi’s blockade
Saudi Arabia has condemned remarks by the Houthis accusing the kingdom of besieging Yemen and announcing that the group will prevent maritime navigation to Saudi ports.

After two Islamic terrorists murdered 15 Jews in Bondi celebrating Chanukah, this decrepit gov’t went to any length to protect Islam, to deep six a Royal Commission rather than allow establishing a connection between Jew-hatred & Islamic terrorism. To employ an Islamic “envoy” is an insult on every Australian taxpayer. But here we are, suffering insult after injury:
Aftab Malik, a United Nations Alliance of Civilisations “Global Expert” on Muslim affairs, has been named as the government’s Islamophobia envoy.
Australia’s “Islamophobia” top dog, Aftab Malik, recommended that the government discount religion as a motivating factor in terrorist acts. This was clearly an attempt to prevent the Australian government from discovering or shedding any light upon the role of Islam in the motivations of jihad terrorists. Anyone who dared to note that jihad violence was being committed in accord with Islamic texts and teachings would have been dismissed as “Islamophobic.” Surprisingly, Albanese rejected this recommendation, but Aftab Malik will no doubt keep pushing.
“Anthony Albanese releases government’s response to Islamophobia report,” by Lexie Jeuniewic, David Lipson and Keane Bourke, ABC.net.au, July 17, 2026:
Al Bozo goes to any length to suck up to the Mohammedans. “Islamic envoy” Aftab Malik is an Islamo-propagandist who demands Islamic blasphemy laws to muzzle us. And he is doing it on the taxpayer dollar. Disgraceful.

The Albanese government’s long-awaited response to its special envoy’s report on Islamophobia has rejected calls for an overhaul of counter-terror laws, focusing instead on a new education task force and expanded community liaison teams for police.
