Scumbags gonna scum. The right will never let a mass shooting slip to use it to their own political ends.
Regarding Minns, NSW, and by extension, Sydney, have been under the thumb of organised crime for a long, long time. Just look at Kings Cross and police corruption or Coronation Group being run by the Alameddein crime family. Sydney has just as much a corruption problem just like the rest of the world. It just seems Sydney figured out how to hide it better.
