The joke was dumb, the online reaction to the joke was dumb, a random UAP senator's dumb comments being quoted globally was dumb and Rudd telling famous musicians and actors to "grow up and get a job" was very dumb. What a time we live in.

I think there is also an element of the political elite attempting to look after themselves in the wake of an assassination attempt on one of their own. No high level politician is going to be encouraging or dismissing violence if there's even the slightest chance they could be a future victim to it.
