As the nation greets 2026 head on, many have confirmed they are still trying to wrap their heads around the media landscape for this year.

This comes after a couple of news stories were pushed out over the last two days in relation to a man throwing a homemade bomb into a crowd of people peacefully gathering on a significant day in the calendar.

The incident occurred in Perth on January 26th, when a man clad in black threw a 'homemade explosive device containing ball bearings, nails and chemicals' (aka a bomb) into an Invasion Day rally.

Thankfully, the bomb designed to explode on impact did not detonate.

The man was subsequently arrested for the attempted terrorist attack after fleeing the scene, with police confirming the fragment had the 'potential to seriously injure or kill people.'

His identity has been suppressed to 'protect him in a custodial environment.'

Calls for his identification have of course been limited, with large portions of the media and political landscape just not being too fussed about a radicalised young man attempting to kill Australians in broad daylight apparently.

Fans of a certain surging political figure have of course failed to post any angry Facebook status or comments, or stir up their extended family and friendship circle in the name of division.

The Australian media's insistence on appointing that political figure, Pauline Hanson as the only alternative to Albanese has resulted in immediate and violent repercussions, as white supremacists feel more emboldened than ever by the dangerously extreme rhetoric that is now being normalised by ambulance-chasing journalists that have given up on Sussan Ley's Federal Opposition.

More to come.
