Oh wow, the guy who threw an actual bomb into the invasion day March is a terrorist after all??
Who'd ever have thunk it.

Thinking today of mob around this continent feeling unnoticed and unwanted (again).
If (almost) any other community had been targeted by an attempted mass murder (likely mass casualty bombing attack) at a gathering marking a sacred day of mourning, do you think it might have made a few more headlines? Might there be a bit more discussion in parliament? Calls for a #RoyalCommission, extensive community discussion of how to address the pervasive #racism very likely at the root of the attack?
There already exists a comprehensive national #antiracism strategy developed over years in consultation with a wide number of relevant experts and stakeholders. It was delivered to the federal government and tabled in parliament over a year ago. The government is yet to respond.
Instead, the duopoly reaches for knee-jerk rushed legislation, atrociously designed, with almost no opportunity for genuine scrutiny, that relies purely on the discredited approach of further #CriminalisationOfDissent Indeed, the existence of these laws is already being weaponised by the #MurdochPress against the very group targeted by the attempted bomb attack, claiming that #Indigenous criticisms of white Australia are racist hate speech and the groups organising the #InvasionDay rallies ought to be proscribed.
Jesus wept.

CW: Chris Minns: you're picking today to attack an anti-racist movement (again)? #auspol #InvasionDay #26thJan #CriminalisationOfDissent #NSWpol
Premier Minns, you claim that your draconian suppression of criticism is motivated by pubic safety and wellbeing.
How does it make Aboriginal people more safe to face increased police powers, when racialised violence from NSW police is one of the core complaints Aboriginal people want to raise with your administration?
Your new anti-protest laws have been used precisely *once* so far: to shut down a peaceful walk by an Aboriginal man accompanied by a few hundred friends, who intended to walk a few hundred metres, not disrupting any traffic or making anyone's life harder. To stop this, your government thought it was worth allocating about as many police officers as there were protesters, in order to physically prevent this dangerous and divisive event from occurring, using extreme force if necessary. What was the grievance of this individual and his friends? The racist violence of NSW police against his people. Yep, that's the perfect moment to premiere these shiny new anti-protest laws.

CW: A note to non-Australians about Australia Day, 26 January
@futzle Every year, the 26th January sees Invasion Day protest marches and other events mourning genocide and dispossession, celebrating the survival of many of the oldest continuous cultures in the world, and expressing ongoing resistance led by local Indigenous peoples across the continent.
In Gadi (Sydney), most years see tens of thousands of people march from the city to the Yabun festival in Vic Park.
This year will be especially important, given the NSW government's efforts to suppress protest in the name of 'social cohesion' (because denying people a voice has always turned out really well for long-term cohesion, right?). Organisers are planning to march, even if the government extends the anti-protest laws for another two weeks. The more people show up, the less likely it is that the authorities decide to cause trouble.

Senior police have taken less than a day to deploy anti-protest powers that were rushed into law after the Bondi Beach terror attack.
NSW Police late on Christmas Eve moved to ban protest rallies from key metropolitan areas in Sydney after legislation was passed earlier the same morning to allow the action following declared terrorist incidents.
Meanwhile, Indigenous groups have raised concerns an extension of the police anti-protest designation could render "invasion day" protests on January 26 unlawful.
Mr Minns said the assemblies could take place, although he drew a distinction between static rallies and marches through the city.

Watched *Taverna* the other night. As it is First Fleet or [ Oz / Australia/ Invasion ] day today or tomorrow here in Oz, here is a movie that's up there with "The Castle ". Its charming and authentic, not perfect, humble , captures a version of one real Australia.
Great cast great production.
Solid Script.https://youtu.be/qUQPLVWB61o?si=-HRRdXmi33Sbj_LE
""The Taverna follows one utterly chaotic evening in a family run Greek restaurant.
Taverna owner, Kostas gets more than he bargained for when his popular belly dancer refuses to work to avoid her ex-husband and his new girlfriend, and is replaced at the last minute by one of his eager waitresses....
It all adds up to a **darkly comic ride into the wild side of life, love, food and cultural differences.**"
Its Flamin Excellent !

415 massacre sites have been identified in Australia, carried out between 1776 and 1928 - almost half the massacres of Aboriginal people were by police or other government forces.

I grew up on #NgunnawalCountry. I visit often.
I choose to spend today remembering the harm done and still being done to #Aboriginal #Australians.
