In this episode of Solid Ground, Simon devotes much of the show to discussing the tragic event at Bondi Beach, where terrorists killed 15 people. He strongly critiques the societal and political response to such events, arguing for a clearer identification of the ideologies behind the violence. He also questions the near-silence from the likes of the Green Party and other left wing figures, noting their earlier rhetoric has given moral cover to those who perpetrate violence. He also speaks of how increasing antisemitism sits alongside a society that is decaying, and how we must return to reason, empirical evidence, and restraint.
