The problem is, it isn't just the government. Online, I have seen countless comments from individuals that are supporting this. They are supporting the police that "pumped a cunt". They are supporting authoritarian.
I feel this speaks to an article recently in The New Daily that was talking about the shift to the right and the rise in One Nation.

I don't know how you could argue that trust has not been seriously eroded in NSW Police. I feel nationally, NSW has been presented in the media as a "Police state". Between the "pumping of cunts", an innocent man being knelt on the head by officers, and legislation taking away your privacy when it comes to your mobile, it is hard to look at NSW and see it anything other than fascist state.

Shadid had requested officers to stop advancing as people were on the ground praying.
"Const Daniel Stewart then allegedly dragged Shadid, who had travelled from Parramatta, to the ground and punched him in the face and twisted his wrist. Another officer kneeled on his head"

This seems to be a conundrum worth considering carefully, in the interests of native forests and habitat for multiple endangered species.

Probably not ideal to have the boss of a new museum stand down 72 days before it opens, due to an investigation into "governance and procurement practices":
"The opening of the billion-dollar Powerhouse Parramatta has been plunged into controversy after its chief executive stepped down 72 days before the opening of the state’s biggest cultural infrastructure investment since the Sydney Opera House.
"In a shock development, staff were alerted on Thursday afternoon that Lisa Havilah had stood aside from her role of seven years pending completion of a departmental investigation into “governance and procurement practices”. Only five days earlier, the museum had announced its first five exhibitions for the November 7 opening to much fanfare."

{updated govt responsible]
Yes, of course, it’s the Federal govt’s water buy-back scheme that is at fault. No, nothing to do with growing a thirsty crop on the driest Continent on earth or the #ClimateCrisis and the resulting droughts we are experiencing as a result of man made emmissions (with more to come with forecasted El Ninio events — have I got that right?)No, nothing at all. Shame on the govt for hoarding water like that.

NSW's native forests are worth more standing than shredded into woodchips. They protect wildlife, store carbon, safeguard water catchments and belong to future generations, not logging companies.
Premier Minns promised better. Time to end industrial native forest logging and protect what little remains. Add your voice.#nswpol #forests #koalas #climate

Chris Minns, NSW Premier: "for the sake of Social Cohesion™, we're inviting a wanted war criminal from a rogue state to visit, granting police extraordinary emergency powers to forcefully suppress the expression of non-approved messages in non-approved locations, and installing extra Social Cohesion™ fences and barriers in the middle of the city. In order to ensure maximum Social Cohesion™ please don't come into the city, and if you do, then disobeying the instructions of one of the 3,000 Social Cohesion™ officers will result in a $5,000 fine. This is for your own good. You will cohere, or else."

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.

Today's enormous march was also a powerful repudiation of Premier Chris Minns' attempts to criminalise and demonise public protest in NSW over the last 21 months—efforts that have seen Premier Minns awarded a special medal by Israeli President Isaac Herzog, an individual many believe to be guilty of the crime of incitement to genocide due to numerous public statements he has made in support of the Netanyahu government's genocidal campaign in Gaza. Minns has faced no public consequence from his federal counterparts for accepting this award, despite the notorious origin of the award, and despite the apparent over-reach of a state government official receiving an award for a foreign power for his efforts in suppressing public criticism of that power (as a state representative, he is not meant to meddle in federal foreign policy).
Minns attempts to stifle this march were rejected by the NSW Supreme Court yesterday in a powerful ruling affirming the fact that protest will always involve inconvenience and disruption, and consequently, NSW Police were directed to facilitate rather than suppress today's march.

Mainstream media coverage of the "March for Humanity: Save Gaza" predictably focused on the 'confusion' resulting from the shifting march route (adjusted on the fly by NSW Police, based on claims of a dangerous "crowd crush" situation developing at the train station at the northern end of the bridge (a claim I have yet to see corroborated by eyewitness statements or video evidence).
This media framing was guilty of burying the lede on the far bigger story today: an absolutely enormous public repudiation of the foreign policy priorities of the federal government for the last 21 months. According to many experts in international law, the Australian government is in breach of its legal obligations under the Genocide Convention, as well as in breach of specific recent rulings of the International Court of Justice.
Throughout the deadly escalation of the last 21 months, a period in which Israel's longstanding pattern of #WarCrimes has grown ever more egregious, the Australian government has continued to permit materials manufactured here and used in Israeli weapons systems to be exported to a context where #CrimesAgainstHumanity are on daily display via livestream.

Similar demands have animated near-weekly protests on unceded Gadigal land on over 80 previous Sundays, each of which has seen thousands or tens of thousands of people march through the city centre—all without serious incident or public 'chaos', all without tolerating or expressing antisemitism, and without ever losing any of the various cases the NSW government and/or NSW police have brought to the NSW Supreme Court in various attempts to thwart these gatherings. Each Sunday, a wide variety of interesting, passionate and insightful speakers have addressed the movement: Palestinian refugees and poets, Jewish academics and authors, Aboriginal elders and activists, student leaders and children, survivors of the 1948 Nakba, nurses, doctors, journalists, artists, lawyers, historians, teachers, faith leaders, union leaders, and even an occasional parliamentarian or two (some of the few in public office who have consistently called for adherence to international law).
Today was the biggest gathering so far. And yet one of the first to actually get substantial (or indeed any) media coverage: before, during and after.

Today likely saw the largest single protest rally in Australian history.
Under dark rain clouds, hundreds of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge in a huge demonstration opposing the ongoing genocide in Gaza, as well as the complicity of the Australian government in failing to oppose Israel's crimes against humanity.
The 'March for Humanity: Save Gaza' saw organisers' expectations smashed and the government's worst fears exceeded as a great ocean of people showed up, despite pouring rain, strong winds, and a week of front page negative stories carrying anti-protest messages from the Minns state government and NSW police. It was huge.
An ocean of people, diverse in age, background, gender, religion, and rain-mitigation techniques, yet united via common humanity with those suffering starvation, snipers and shells, displacement, destruction and deprivation in Gaza:
"In our thousands,
in our millions,
we are all
Palestinians!"The protest had four demands:
- Let all aid into Gaza
- Immediate Israeli ceasefire and withdrawal from Gaza
- Sanction Israel now
- End Australia’s two way arms trade with Israel#MarchForHumanity #Gadigal #Gaza #auspol #NSWpol #protest #StopTheGenocide #starvation #WarCrimes #Palestine #solidarity #SydneyHarbourBridge

CW: #Auspol The Liberal National Party Members for Coal and Gas are running a new Campaign to Make Coal Great Again.
The coal and gas industry must be upset Australians love renewable energy. Solar panels and batteries are slashing fuel and energy costs.
From the Guardian:
Joyce and Canavan call for new coal plants to replace renewable energy projects“Barnaby Joyce and other leading opponents of net zero by 2050 want Australia to build new coal-fired power plants, focus on gas and nuclear energy and abandon all efforts to cut carbon emissions.”
