  1. I remember a time decades ago when NSW was considered a police state where crooked cops was a systemic problem. It doesn’t look like it has changed much. Worse, the police now tramples on common law rights…

    “The October 2022-enacted digital evidence access order regime provides that police can obtain a DEAO when executing search and crime scene warrants, and if the subject of the order refuses this, then it’s an offence carrying up to 5 years prison time. And as the section containing this criminal offence notes, this measure overrides the common law right against self-incrimination.

    However, once NSW police officers have obtained access to a suspect’s phone, they don’t simply scroll through the owner’s latest social media posts, as rather, they employ a device and software developed by Israeli digital forensics company Cellebrite that once connected to a civilian’s phone downloads its entire content, including all deleted messages and images.”

    How good are ‘panick buttons’, those that wipe a mobile clean as the push of a button? Not that I’d necessarliy consider it on my mobile, but you never know, right? I can’t see Police powers being roled back anytime soon, quite the contrary, expansion of those powers seems inevitable while #Minns is in charge.

  2. @guardianfeeds this is horrible. #Minns turned off the water without any warning to protect some land owner which no one wants to name. #ecodisaster #conservation #wetlands #turtles

  3. #Minns I do not believe Australia's Constitution allows you to say who may mourn who, only China does that.
    Many Muslims are dead & they must be allowed to mourn in their own way #WarCrimes

  4. Stephen Heydt on Sydney's police violence

    'Growing up in South Africa during the height of apartheid, I have run in panicked crowds with people wearing the pain of broken limbs from baton charges, the air cracking with gunshot, and eyes streaming from tear gas. I witnessed directly the machinery of a state trading its vestigial moral authority for the support of an ideological base. I left that life for Australia, believing I was moving to a place where the right to disagree was fundamental to the national character'

  5. @EndemicEarthling

    "Dining with a war criminal

    Inside the International Convention Centre, Minns broke bread with Herzog as the Israeli president spoke about social cohesion.

    This is the same Isaac Herzog who once declared there were no innocent civilians in Palestine. The same #Herzog who autographed artillery shells later dropped on Gaza. His government now stands before international courts, its conduct under legal scrutiny. #Minns knew exactly what this moment represented."

  6. this #minns guy is not doing himself a favour with sliding in all those massive new protest laws and random restrictions as he's definitely not irreplaceable 😬

  7. Gotta admit, it's odd watching my former home state of #NSW banning #FreePalestine protests to "protect" the feelings of its Jewish population, when #LiteralNAZIs were assembling on the front steps of the parliament a month or so ago, and no one in the police (or political) hierarchy thought that was a problem.

    It's almost like Premier #Minns is providing constant tacit approval to rightwing extremists, as one would if one genuinely sympathised with them but couldn't say so.

  8. The reason a farmer might need ten guns? I can only think of "so I can go shooting with nine unlicensed people"

    Also:

    #Minns, you performing jerk. The ONLY way this works is if the laws are NATIONAL. You announcing you'll go first is about as useless as your hairspray and windsor knot. Do better pumpkin.

  9. The #NSW #Labor govt seems intent on becoming the defacto #LNP ! No mention of *compulsory acquisition* to build electricity transmission lines ... but no problem to do this for a #Santos #gas-pipeline ?? Complete madness with #Minns 🙄 #AusPol

  10. Together, we're showing Premier #Minns that people across #NSW — and beyond — won't stand by while our #gun safety #laws are gutted and public lands handed to the hunting lobby.
    This bill isn't law yet — and with enough public pressure, we can stop it.

  11. @abcfeeds #Minns has entirely lost all appeal after changing his mind so many times 😬 "In opposition, the premier argued in favour of the concept, saying the state could regulate its sale and deprive criminal gangs of an important source of revenue." #legaliseIt #cannabis #nswpol

  12. #sydney planning agency abolished by #NSW #minns government. “It really is starting to look like the developer lobby is saying ‘jump’ and the Minns government is saying: ‘how high?’ free-for-all anything goes for #developers ! #nswpol smh.com.au/politics/nsw/minns-

  13. In the debate today between #Minns & #Perrottet... Chris Minns said.... he admired how both @GladysB & @Dom_Perrottet had followed the science and listened to Dr Kerry Chant CHO with regard to the COVID pandemic. 🤦‍♂️
