Best line: “Alabama on the Yarra” (with that ‘fun in the sun feel) 😎 as in: “Victorian Liberals spent the best part of a quarter-century tearing themselves apart, with much of the past decade given over to Christian fundamentalist entryists trying to seize control and turn the state into Alabama on the Yarra.” ✝️Thanks for sharing (even tho’ deeply depressing). 🙂🙏🏻

Ohhhh - excellent response to make the point: it’s not the wealthy that die in the fire ‘caused by’ or allowed to happen by the unregulated building developments.Just see the evidence to the NSW ICAC Operation Rosny for just how callously political wheeler dealers (not even elected! But happy to be brother of elected… I believe it’s called nepotism in some circumstances…) are happy to make money in similar circumstances.

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"

{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.

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.

Listening to the latest #AustraliaInstitute Dollars & Sense podcast, #NSWPol premier Chris Minns sounds dumber than a box of hammers. How did this lightweight clown ascend to such a role?
-
It was sickening though also enlightening to hear NSW Premier #ChrisMinns on the radio (ABC) this morning. It helpfully clarified that fundamentally, the public reason for all the chaos in Sydney's CBD last night, the reason Minns insisted NSW police prevent any march from occurring, is at its core quite deeply bigoted and racist.
What Minns admitted to in that interview this morning is that he did not trust rally organisers to do what they said they would do. He did not trust that a rally route ending at parliament house wouldn't actually be a Trojan horse for protesters to suddenly break off through police lines and go rampaging on a pogrom through the streets, looking for Jewish people to harm. That is why there couldn't be a march.
Something like 100 rallies organised by the same people, at which we have followed the agreed route every time. A hundred rallies without any arrests for violence or flouting lawful police directions (indeed, the only charges of violence in the context of 28 months of anti-genocide protest are from a police officer recklessly causing grievous bodily harm to a political candidate who ran against Prime Minister Albanese and came second to him in his electorate).

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.

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

Every single week for the last 21 weeks upon #Gadigal land, there have been thousands upon thousands (sometimes easily tens of thousands) of people gathering in support of a #ceasefire in #Gaza and calling upon the Australian #Albanese government to stop supporting #Israel in its #genocide.
Every Sunday in Hyde Park at 1.30pm,* we've listened to #Aboriginal speakers, #Palestinian speakers, #Jewish speakers, politicians of various stripes (though neither of the major parties, of course, as they both remain complicit in support of the government responsible for most of the slaughter), elders who lived through the #Naqba, teenagers organising #StudentStrike4Palestine, community leaders, poets, faith leaders and more, with perhaps 75% of the speakers being women, and almost all being people of colour (most of the exceptions being MPs).
*Except when #NSWpolice has dictated otherwise, giving priority to (much smaller and only) occasional pro-Israel rallies and forcing a shift to Saturday a couple of times, under threat of #PoliceViolence.
Then we've marched (or rolled) with flags, banners, signs, drums and (loud!) voices: Arab, Aboriginal, African, Anglo, Asian and more; from those too old to walk (in wheelchairs) to those too young to walk (in strollers).
