    Scene: A meeting room in #NSW.

    #Minns is crowing about how well the #HeavilyArmedPolice with #AssaultRifles (called “long guns” by the state govt & compliant media) did in keeping people safe during #Sydney’s big #CrackerNight.

    Police Commissioner smiles.

    “At least we can stop issuing assault rifles & machine guns now” says Minns.

    “I don’t think so. Look how safe last night was! It was the weapons. I think we should issue more!”

    “Okay”

PRC poured billions into #militarising e islands & shoals in SCS, building a powerful #coastguard & #weaponizing its #fishingfleet" #Asia
