Herzog came to town, so we shut it down.
NSW coppers assaulted Muslims in prayer, so we had a prayer in Arabic as one of our 'speeches.'
Albo's attempt to brush aside and normalise genocide; DENIED.
Nice work Naarm/ Melbourne!

All things being equal, I'm confident that Chris Minns & NSW Police will ensure that the beatings will continue until the social cohesion among *checks notes* "Muslims-at-prayer", "old-age pensioners" & "teenagers" improves.

Aus rents have risen 2.5x faster than wages over the past 5 yrs. Renters are now spending an average of 33.4% of income on rent, putting millions into housing stress. Meanwhile, investor lending skyrockets. A result of Labor's choices that are making the housing crisis worse.

You know your country is stuffed when countless politicians and the media normalise police bashing citizens on the street as if this behaviour was okay. Police brutality is not okay.

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"

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.
