Wholeheartedly agree with Hannah Thomas that NSW Premier Chris Minns should resign or be rolled by NSW Labor. Shame Labor Shame.
#BREAKING 🚨 Former Greens candidate Hannah Thomas says NSW premier Chris Minns "is responsible for every single injury" at the Sydney march against Isaac Herzog
Protesters were pepper-sprayed and punches thrown, with Thomas saying it "felt like war being waged on us by police"

According to Uniting, there are more than 200 rough sleepers in the Ballarat region that they know of.

the police presence at Town Hall is unfuckingbelievable. They are deep inside the station, stopping and searching people at the top of the stairs from the platform. Absolutely off the charts I have never seen anything like it and I have protested for over 40 years.
