I reckon there was a fair bit of the ‘If you’d just behaved and did what I wanted you to do I wouldn’t have had to hit you’ domestic violence perpetrator vibe about Minns and the NSW Police Commissioner’s response to cop brutality at the protest

Albanese told parliament during Question Time he would not have been able to raise the aid workers' killings with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, had Herzog not visited Australia.

Can anyone point to the legislation that states once a person puts a police uniform on they are exempt from breaking the law?
And why do police need military style automatic rifles in a country with some of the strictest gun laws in the world?
Or vehicles like BearCats?

We'll say it again: "social cohesion", to those who chant it, means maintenance of the status quo which privileges them, and silencing of everyone else. In the mouth of a Labor MP, it is an expression of the deepest hypocrisy.

We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms.
It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.
