What an amazing human being is our very own Kon

I nominated him for Aussie of the Year many years ago

Will do so again for 2027

He’s been a powerful voice for our wonderful migrant community

Sometimes, a lonely voice

He’s spot on here, as usual

Bless you Kon

And that, as a consequence of the government’s declaration, victims of police violence may have no recourse
She knew at that point what police instructions were

Did she have a duty to warn people they would be sprayed indiscriminately with dangerous chemicals and that bones would be broken?

I recommend #Auspol watches this documentary about the Americans putting their fringe definition of Christianity into power as a minoritarian agenda. There are politicians & backers that have similar plans for 🇦🇺
