That sounds like they were just keeping the status quo..
More accurate: they are below the water line knocking holes in the hull and giggling about it.

I went out before today's Herzog protest at Parliament and saw this massive police surveillance tower. This is completely unnecessary, and intimidating, at a peaceful protest. Police need to be protecting protesters, not snooping on them, or attacking them.

You need to think more like a fascist and then it makes perfect sense.

The police told them to wait for half an hour while they clear the streets or something similar. Would be interesting to see the timeline of what happened relating those two.

Probably been too busy whitewashing violence against peaceful protest and working out further ways to help censor the greatest crimes we have names for.

Wonder whether the timestamp of that relates to the announcement made to the Herzog event - did they rush things and ramp up the brutality to cater for that?

Very concerning that we are paying an envoy to learn from the UK, who have arrested thousands of people for peaceful protest.
A couple days ago Antisemitism Czar, Jillian Segal, met with the UK Attorney-General.
They compared notes on approaches on "effective" legislative and policy responses.

Social Compliance, more like.
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.

Without those extra powers for public safety and such, those people would have already marched at a safe walking pace and gone home for dinner followed by doomscrolling.
Instead they were fleeing from being pepper sprayed or tackled or punched.
This happened because of the invite..

That's messed up. It was a peaceful protest.. until police decided to escalate. Which is all too common.

Clearly had his hands up grabbing invisible puppet strings for the bike to trip up the police.. that's why he got punched viciously in the ribs by multiple (hopefully soon to be ex-)policemen.
This is not ok.

Sad news about @kudelka.bsky.social - he was fighting the good fight for a better, more human world and just when he's gone: NSW descends into full blown police violence against peaceful protest. His quoll-ity political commentary will be sorely missed and is needed more than ever.

The problem with tax in Australia is not that we pay too much income tax, but that the richest and most profitable get huge tax breaks that distort the housing market, encourage fossil fuel emissions and general make inequality worse.
