Compelling i/view on #RN just now with Abigail Boyd, a NSW Greens politician injured by police at the Sydney protest last night. She'd been released from hospital a few hours earlier and was understandably still distressed at how a peaceful protest was turned violent by police intervention. #auspol

The solution is to put Zoe back in Goldstein and more people like her on the crossbench. Evolution is slow, and in the meantime there is the circus.

Referring to the protest last night in Sydney as ‘a rolling melee of violence’ as Deputy Commissioner Peter McKenna has - is a flat out lie. #auspol

The footage out of Sydney overnight is abhorrent.
Peaceful protesters set upon by an army of police, punches thrown at people with raised hands, people praying ripped from their knees.
Is this violence the social cohesion that Labor wanted?

I asked about how police treat First Nations (and Palestine) rallies as threats to control, not communities to protect. We saw the dangerous result of this in Boorloo.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner confirms she is speaking to police about this.

Minns provides more protection to a foreign war criminal from the rain than he does for an Australian protester being assaulted by his violent police force.
The police are not at the protests to keep people safe they are there solely to protect power.

MY LATEST: We were told protestors against Israeli President Herzog's visit were “haters” who would “disrupt a moment of post-Bondi solace”. On the ground, there was nothing of the sort.
Then NSW Police attacked dozens of us.

Peaceful, diverse, myriad, then attacked. Herzog protestors demolish the narrative - Michael West
Until NSW Police suddenly turned aggressive, the protests across Australia against Israel's President Isaac Herzog were peaceful.

@australianlabor.bsky.social Govt a once in a generation mandate (partly because it was least worst of the major parties).
If its underwhelming centrist agenda wasn’t enough to erode support - being Netanyahu’s useful idiots has been its defining moment

Herzog says demonstrations undermine his and Israel’s rights.
There is no right to commit genocide.
No right to slaughter civilians and children.
No right to starve people.
No right to breach international law.
No right to use apartheid.
No right to silence concerned Australians.

Sen. David Shoebridge continues to read the pulse of the Australian people quite accurately on many issues that concern us all- some of his Labor colleagues should take note or they could well end up looking for new jobs themselves after the next election…

How can a cop treat a human, who was no threat to anyone, like a punching bag? That is disgusting behaviour.
