  • I think Tanuki is referring to various players across the entire spectrum taking the Bondi tragedy to dishonestly twist the narrative and outright lie about to further their interests in political advantage, disharmony, and racist ideology.

    The other aspect you might be raising – the position of the line between news/commentary, and attention-seeking monetisation of tragedy – is sometimes more subjective or delicate, but I feel Tanuki’s commentaries are on the good side of that.
