It's no accident that Nazis rallied in Sydney. Police waved them through — and now Minns wants to punish us all
The existing law in NSW is more than adequate to have avoided the images of Nazis outside state parliament over the weekend.

Never thought he would steep so low to spread a rumour that Australia sold the drone to Israel that killed an Australian aid worker in Gaza.
But then he blocked money for homes for women escaping DV, veterans and repairs to homes in Indigenous communities.

A coup on the steps of parliament
It is not true that Australia has never experienced a revolution. Fifty years ago, the nation saw a bloodless coup where the underpinning conventions of our parliamentary democracy were overthrown. The outrage of the Dismissal established dangerous precedents, and in the intervening years we have failed to put in place safeguards that would prevent it happening again.

It was essentially fraud, and it resulted in deaths. The people responsible need to face meaningful consequences.

Robodebt was a mass deception based on a cruel bet: that people on income support would simply give up and pay debts they didn't owe.
