Teen Grocery Raid:

What do you expect to occur when children are bored, have limited places to safely gather, play, and socialise ...

... and laws constantly being implemented to target their liberty further?

They take matters into their own hands, and then there are some that take advantage of this for opportunistic theft or brawls.

(The large majority are likely guilty of nothing more than gathering to socialise.)

14-year-old riding bicycle dies in Melbourne.

All the media/journalists are focused on the fact that this is a ‘ebike’.
None of them have commented on the fact that it is unlawful for a person over 12-years-old to ride on the pathway.

Victorian Govenment and VicGrid need to wake up to reality:

The trauma caused by Coal Seam Gas, that led to #LockTheGates is still raw.
Force and ‘law’ isn’t going to help gain access.

Targeting political protests with indiscriminate explosive weapons is consistent with the definition of a Terrorist …

“Terrorism in Commonwealth law is defined as an act or threat that is intended to:

advance a political, ideological or religious cause; and
coerce or intimidate an Australian or foreign government or the public (or section of the public), including foreign public.

The conduct falls within the definition if it:
causes serious physical harm to a person or serious damage to property;
causes death or endangers a persons life;
creates a serious risk to the health and safety to the public (or section of the public), or
seriously interferes, disrupts or destroys”

‘Nobody’s stopping it’: The taxpayer money trail from building sites to the underworld

Putting aside legality and guilt on the matter of ‘Pam the Bird’, …

Street Art/Graffiti Art - for as long as it’s been considered an offence - was always a ‘backstreet’ activity.
Always avoiding the main and thoroughfare where most pedestrians (including property owners) see, but in plain sight to those that take the alleyways and backstreets. Still an ‘offence’ but tolerated.

The only time graffiti was usually on the main and thoroughfare was as acts of civil disobedience/protest or delinquency.

Eventually came the popularisation of graffiti, as artistic expression became more common. This started to blur the lines between the ‘tolerated’ and ‘not tolerated’ areas. And with this popularisation, soon followed the ‘legitimisation’ of graffiti - mutually agreed contract of services between Property rights holder and Artist.

… and this is where ‘Pam the Bird’ artist(s) crosses the line. Unauthorised graffiti of surfaces that are in plain sight from the main and thoroughfare, outside of the ‘tolerated’ areas. Is it an act of civil disobedience/protest or mere delinquency? Who knows, considering the lack of agreement with Property rights holder(s)

Many other street artists have considered how to ‘legally’ engage on such surfaces or make their work ‘tolerable’. Which is where the use of temporary/semi-permanent/removable mediums like ‘Chalk’ and ‘Paper Stencils’ came about.

So, what will the alleged ‘Pam the Bird’ artist(s) do after their judgement? God knows.
Their first worry is whether each of the alleged ‘offences’ are properly and fairly attributed to them.

Victoria Police,

Police Chases:

Why the heck did they need to 'intercept'?

Isn't there more value of waiting for the allegedly stolen vehicle to follow at a distance, and wait for the vehicle to reach its destination first? https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/driver-of-allegedly-stolen-truck-kills-motorist-in-collision-after-high-speed-police-chase-20250106-p5l2b5.html

Worth remembering that Victorian parliament had decided to leave the age for riding bicycles on footpaths as 12-years and younger.

Young Meuleman (15) shouldn’t have, but is legally required to ride on the road.

FFS can we please separate politicians from current Police investigations.

If they were serious about the successful investigation and prosecution of offender(s), Politicians should be reminding themlsves and media about ‘Prejudice laws’

Considering all the ‘outrage’ towards the Environmental Defenders Office.

The Political circles in Australia are ridiculously quiet towards Victoria Police, ASIO and AFP with regards to this outrageous case.

The Joint Counter Terrorism Team, … used
‘the guise of a rehabilitation service to entice the parents of a troubled child to engage in a process that results in potential harm to the child’

and encouraged ‘a 13-14 year old child towards racial hatred, distrust of police and violent extremism, encouraging the child’s fixation on ISIS‘
- Judge Fleming
