There is absolutely no operational or legal justification for a Police Officer to throw punches. (How many punches do you see in this clip?)

Or to grab a person without first explaining the offence and reason they have been placed under arrest.

NSW banning public gatherings.

This incident needs to be reviewed by watchdog.

Frankly, I am bewildered as to why the officers were not instructed to just stalk them until an actual crime occurred.

Disappointing.
Court should have gone one step further by ordering Police to be constructive in facilitating the protest in being able to proceed.

Protests are a fundamental part of liberal democracies. There is never be a blanket ban, just because it causes inconveniences or is politically uncomfortable.

Will she speak more freely or hold her silence?

Controversial video posted online embroils two NSW nurses over alleged antisemitism: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-12/nsw-health-minister-on-online-doctor-veifer-video/104926206

A great reminder about the value of the Hippocratic-esque oaths and value statements that reflect ‘Universal human rights’, in the health system.

And a disappointing lack of charismatic leadership from Political and Administrative leaders.
It’s easy to express ‘disgust, horror, shock, etc’. Somehow it’s ‘hard’ for leaders to talk about universal rights and why it matters.

Considering Australian Police attitude towards self-defence, training, and ‘risks to officers’ I’m not surprised that this occurred. Current training regimes are a farce.
I can say with absolute certainty that an Officer trained in Judo or Aikido would have not inadvertently manslaughtered Clare Nowland.

NSW Police (and Parliament) has some serious soul-searching to do.

Due Process, procedures and record-keeping standards exist to respect all parties involved in any investigation(s)

And 'separation of duties' and other forms 'conflict of interest' management exists to minimise intentional and unintentional corruption of investigations.

Simply put, ... 'Police should not investigate Police'

Identity and Crime:

The media obsession with the identity of an alleged criminal has many examples where it has been more harmful than good.

There is very few situations where disclosure of names are necessary as a matter of urgency. Which is why even Police investigators take time and due care and diligence before disclosing names.

Between this and the recent Asbestos Mulch scandal,
it really really reeeeally sounds like NSW Government and Industry have a problem with Science

ALL of these problems would have been avoidable if scientific monitoring and testing were kept at arms-length from Politicians and Industry Lobby.

Arborcide in Sydney:

Fiscal Penalties should be multiplied by the age of the tree, added by procurement and labour costs.
In addition there should be compulsory community service of planting more trees, and ban on future development and renovation related activities.

Only then will people with Property and monetary -driven interests will likely reconsider the offence.

Perrottet's NSW appears to be more lenient to traffic offences (such as speeding 40kph over limit) compared to a peaceful protest which only partly blocked traffic and risked no lives.

Re, Danny Lim;
NSW Premier expects ‘strongest action’ 🤦🏻

… prejudicing the case is irresponsible of Premier Perrottet. The only business the premier has on this matter is seeking agency assurance about accountability and transparency,
and looking to review existing legislation and policies to consider reforms to ensure a similar case never happens again.
