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.

‘I didn’t go looking for trouble’: Protester sues NSW after allegedly being punched by police at Herzog rally
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"

NSW Police say they intend to “crack down” on criminal gangs.
It’s almost as if cracking down on civil protesters exercising their democratic rights was something of an error and that cracking down on organised crime was more important all along.

Footage of police officer boasting about punching Sydney anti-Herzog protester raises questions about conduct
"Video footage has emerged capturing a New South Wales police officer boasting about “punching” a protester in the head “when he was down”, before the protester was charged with assaulting police.
Police body-worn camera footage, which was leaked to a social media account and widely shared over the weekend, reveals a male police officer telling his colleagues during the 9 February protest at Sydney town hall against a visit by the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog: “I f*cking pumped that c*nt.”
A female officer can be heard replying, “So funny,” before the male officer says: “Then I punched him in the head when he was down.”"
The Minns LaborFail government have always had a problem with ThugCops like these, it's how Minns likes it.

Time to make Minns aware of your complete lack of respect for the NSW Police and their fascist attitude toward citizens of the state:

"I suggest to you that evidence is fabricated Mr Perrottet"
Has to be one of the greatest lines in ICAC

Fantastic news and egg on Minnsolini's gob.
'The Attorney General has announced in a Budget Estimates hearing that the Minns Labor Government will not appeal the Supreme Court judgement that rejected the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, after advice from the Crown Solicitor and Senior Counsel revealed no prospects of success.'

@gnoll110 @vandenberglegs @ajsadauskas More shenanigans at ICAC (the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption).
This time, it called up Anita Perrottet, who's the wife of Charles Perrottet, and the sister-in-law of former NSW State Premier Dominic Perrottet. (For anyone reading this outside Australia, a premier is our equivalent of an American state governor.)
Charles was allegedly one of the recipients of $2 million in bribes from failed property developer Jean Nassif.
Again, at this stage, I think Dominic should be called to explain what he knew abd when ge knew it.
From the Sydney Morning Herald:
"[Anita Perrottet's] evidence was so thoroughly unconvincing, and the corruption watchdog’s case against her so comprehensive, that it was tempting for a brief moment to feel sorry for the mother of two.
"However, the sheer volume of implausible claims uttered while twisting and contorting her way through a two-day appearance ultimately made it difficult to have much sympathy.
...
"She was paid $660,999 between July 2020 and December 2022 – a figure almost exactly one-third of the $2 million bribe that Nassif is alleged to have agreed to pay her husband and two other Liberal Party operatives.
"There is no written record of any work Anita did to warrant the payments. She repeatedly insisted that she was paid such a huge amount to be a “sounding board”.
...
"Anita Perrottet is no fool. She has a degree in marketing and communications from the University of Canberra. She has worked at global asset management company Fidelity International, the so-called “millionaire’s factory” Macquarie Bank, investment firm Magellan Financial Group, and funds giant Australian Unity. Perrottet agreed with Dwyer’s assessment this week that she was a “pretty astute businesswoman”.
...
"If her version of events is to be believed, Perrottet’s marketing knowledge is so good that she earned hundreds of thousands of dollars for nothing other than giving verbal advice to Jeremy Greenwood, a close friend of her family and the owner of two lobbying firms named Beckington and JPG Advisory.
"Greenwood, Charles Perrottet and Liberal operative Christian Ellis are the three men the ICAC alleges were to be the recipients of the $2 million Nassif bribe.
...
"It is not disputed that Beckington and JPG Advisory paid Perrottet the $660,999 in various invoices over 2½ years. She also concedes there is not one scrap of written evidence that she actually did any work.
"Pressed on what sort of advice she gave, Perrottet said that Greenwood at one point sought her counsel on behalf of a vaping client. Who was the client? She didn’t know. Did she do any research? No, but she did read news articles that had popped up on her social media feeds.
"What strategic advice did she provide in relation to the black market for vaping? “That there needed to be better regulation.” What did that advice include? “Like, you know, minors shouldn’t be able to be buying vapes, essentially.” For good measure, she also apparently advised Greenwood that kids would vape less if fun flavours were banned."
...
"But the problems with her evidence didn’t end there. On Friday, she said she knew tax deductions listed by her business could only be made for legitimate business purposes. She said she would have only claimed travel for meetings she had held in Sydney with Greenwood.
"But she was soon presented with evidence that her husband had actually undertaken the regular travel to Sydney while she stayed at home in Melbourne. During the travel, Charles met with Nassif. Whoops, that must have been an error, Anita explained."

@gnoll110 @vandenberglegs @ajsadauskas By the way, it's very curious to me that Dominic Perrottet, the former Premier of NSW, hasn't been called to ICAC.
If for no other reason, than to explain exactly how much he was aware of his brothers' alleged dealings.
Was he genuinely unaware that his brothers were allegedly doing deals with the likes of Jean Nassif? Including by attempting to get rid of the Police Minister and the Building Commissioner?

@gnoll110 @vandenberglegs @ajsadauskas And then there's also the alleged campaign against the former NSW Police Minister:
"Former NSW Liberal [Police] minister David Elliott has said he will take legal action against those he believes have said "slanderous things" about him, following a corruption watchdog hearing.
"The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is examining whether donations linked to fugitive property developer Jean Nassif were exchanged for political favours, including attempts to damage Mr Elliott's career.
...
"Mr Elliott told the inquiry he now believed Mr Nassif influenced the decision to remove him as police minister in a 2021 cabinet reshuffle.
"Mr Elliott linked the move to Mr Nassif's 2019 arrest for cocaine possession at The Star casino, saying the developer may have blamed him for police being at the casino.
...
"The inquiry previously heard NSW Liberal Party operatives allegedly compiled a "David Elliott shit sheet" — a dossier of political and personal allegations aimed at damaging his career.
"Mr Elliott told ICAC he believed Mr Nassif was behind a campaign of negative media stories against him, after he responded to community concerns about one of his developments."
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw/i-will-harm-you-icac-hears-details-of-menacing-call-from-fugitive-developer-20260827-p60rza.html
Some background on the shit sheet:
"A group of young conservative power brokers in the New South Wales Liberal party under investigation by the corruption watchdog created a “shit sheet” on a minister from a rival faction, claiming he had an extramarital affair, an inquiry has heard.
"The Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac) held its third day of hearings on Wednesday as part of Operation Rosny into allegations of corruption against people associated with the NSW Liberal party.
"The inquiry is investigating whether a group known as the Reformers allegedly solicited or accepted illegal donations to recruit or renew members to the party – a practice known as “branch stacking”. The group wanted more conservative policies on same-sex marriage, abortion and euthanasia.
...
"A former Liberal staffer and associate of the Reformers, Dylan Whitelaw, finished giving evidence to the inquiry on Wednesday.
...
"The inquiry is investigating the allegation that members of the Reformers took donations from Jean Nassif, a fugitive property developer, in exchange for the pursuit of outcomes, including damage to Elliott’s career and the removal of the then-building commissioner, David Chandler.
"In response to questions from the counsel assisting Juliet Curtin, Whitelaw told the commission the Reformers – part of the Liberal hard right faction – had a “large distaste” for Elliott, part of the centre-right faction.
"He said at the time he believed the document was part of the “standard factional warfare that occurs inside political parties”, but he had since come to believe it was prepared at Nasif’s instruction.
"He said he did not recall a member of the Reformers, Jeremy Greenwood, asking him in December 2020 to prepare the document with negative stories about Elliott.
...
"On Wednesday, Whitelaw was asked about payments the federal opposition leader, Angus Taylor, purportedly agreed to make to the Reformers. On Tuesday, the inquiry was read a message from the Catholic Schools NSW chief executive, Dallas McInerney, in March 2021, in which he allegedly said he would “shake down Angus for 10K”, followed by a message from Whitelaw in which he claimed Taylor had agreed to pay the group a “15k injection plus a 3k monthly donation”. Taylor has denied making any payments to the Reformers and is not accused of wrongdoing.
"Curtin asked if monthly payments of $3,000 purportedly agreed to by Taylor were reflected in an increase around that time in the monthly retainer paid by Catholic Schools NSW to registered lobbyist Beckington, controlled by Reformers members Ellis and Greenwood.
...
"Whitelaw also gave evidence to the commission about working as a staffer in the office of the then-Liberal planning minister, Anthony Roberts.
"He described an incident in which Roberts’ chief of staff, Chris Spence, claimed to have a potentially damaging video of the building commissioner Chandler, with Spence saying he planned to give it to the then-NSW fair trading minister and current Liberal shadow minister, Eleni Petinos, to use in a budget estimates hearing."

@gnoll110 @vandenberglegs @ajsadauskas And a few weeks later, it's turned up a load of Interesting dealings between the brothers of former NSW Dominic Perrottet, Jean Nassif, and the former head of Catholic Schools in NSW.
From The Guardian:
"The former New South Wales fair trading minister Eleni Petinos has given evidence at a corruption inquiry that she may have been used by fellow Liberals to try to get rid of the building commissioner David Chandler, recounting numerous attempts in 2022 to persuade her he was “dodgy” and should be sacked.
...
"Petinos told Icac that soon after she became the fair trading minister in December 2021, she had had conversations with several other Liberal staffers about Chandler.
...
"She said around the time she was appointed, Charles Perrottet, the premier’s brother and a rightwing power broker within the Liberal party, suggested to her Chandler was “dodgy”.
"Charles Perrottet is a person of interest in Operation Rosny, which is investigating alleged payments totalling $2m from the fugitive developer Jean Nassif to the Liberal party operatives Charles Perrottet, Christian Ellis and Jeremy Greenwood.
"It is also looking at other payments made to a group of Liberal party rightwing operatives known as the Reformers, and whether these breach donations laws. Persons of interest in relation to this allegation are Jean-Claude Perrotet, Greenwood, Ellis and Robert Assaf.
...
"Petinos gave evidence that on Friday 27 July 2022, Perrottet, who was overseas in India, had been supportive after the bullying allegations against her were published.
"But by Sunday night, he had decided to sack her.
"In the interim, Chandler had resigned, lodging an incendiary resignation letter with the departmental head, Emma Hogan, that alleged undue influence on the Liberal government by developers, and a lack of support by Petinos and her staff.
"He was later reinstated, Icac heard. The event has raised serious questions about whether he was being undermined by some elements of the government."

And then today...
"Fugitive Sydney developer Jean Nassif will appear as a witness before a major corruption probe after the inquiry heard evidence on Thursday he told the state’s building commissioner “if you harm my project, I will harm you”.
"Nassif will give evidence via video link next Friday as police continue to seek his arrest on allegations of serious fraud offences.
"The property developer fled Australia in December 2022 to hide out in a small village in northern Lebanon. As he is overseas, the Independent Commission Against Corruption does not have the power to compel him to appear; however, as with all persons of interest, he was invited to give evidence.
"The corruption watchdog was last week told of a broad smear campaign against Chandler, including unsubstantiated claims he would take money in brown paper bags and had shown favourable treatment to some companies.
"The ICAC alleges the tactics were part of a co-ordinated effort by Nassif to undermine Chandler and prevent him from policing substandard building projects. The ICAC is investigating whether Nassif paid a $2 million bribe to conservative Christian Liberal Party operatives Jeremy Greenwood, Christian Ellis and Charles Perrottet.
...
"The ICAC has previously heard intercepted calls in which Nassif ranted about Chandler and vowed to “f--- him sideways”.
"Chandler recounted a fiery 2020 encounter with Nassif during which he raised concerns about the quality of bathrooms in the Pemberton on the Park development at Botany.
"Nassif fumed and became “overbearing, loud and animated” when told testing would need to be done.
“He got up and really laid it into me well and truly, and said I was just a public servant and don’t you think you can just come in and step all over me because I’m an important person,” Chandler recalled.
“I have run into people over the years that have given me a similar sort of serve, so I’m not intimidated by that.
“I took a breath, and then I laid into him, and I said, ‘Mr Nassif, I am the building commissioner of NSW. You will respect that position, and I suggest you start to pay attention. And for the future, this is the last meeting that you and I will have face to face. Full stop. End of play. Do not ever speak to me like that again’.”

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."
