Civil engineer identified among those who attended Neo-Nazi protest
Around 60 men attended a protest at NSW parliament organised by the Neo-Nazi group National Socialist Network on Saturday. Without masks, it gave the ABC the opportunity to identify some of them.

Every time the Coalition criticises renewables they insult the 43% of Australian households with solar panels.

This Labor party is rotten to the core. Imagine saying kids are too young to understand what they’re reading online but old enough to spend the rest of their lives in prison if they commit a violent crime. It’s demented. But what both policies share is an extreme need to control and punish kids.

It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

Tamworth Council went to court to try and stop a wind farm. It didn’t go well. Tamworth Council argued that the wind turbines would be too big for local roads. The judge pointed out there is no approval needed to drive on a public road reneweconomy.com.au/youve-got-to...

After several decades of monitoring their activities, it's still odd, even if explicable, to witness public figures express shock & surprise at the existence of nazis in AUS, & almost invariably only when it's thrust in their/our faces. So too, immediate calls for more laws & more police.

Anyway.

Chris Minns is odious. He could have copped to the error and put police on notice. Instead he creates a pro-cop straw man when they have already demonstrated the violence they are willing to commit with their existing powers. Just not against Nazis.

Pro-tip:

Next time you see a nazi rally, contact police and tell them you saw one of them carrying a sign with a 🍉 on it.

Then sit back and watch the carnage. 😉

There were ample laws to prevent this or shut it down. The NSW Police just didn’t want to.

here is Minns saying he wants to give police more powers to not authorise nazi rallies after police authorised a nazi rally after Minns gave police more powers to police “antisemitic hate” based on racist lies and fake terror plots.

Of course Chris Minns is going to suggest cops need more power. That's his whole schtick - the beginning and end of his policy ambitions.

What, pray, would Australia's antisemitism envoy like to say about the antisemitic Nazi rally that occurred? I wonder if we'll ever find out.
