Yeah it’s me. The random sweary woman that loves food and horror movies and the odd espresso martini 😉
We really do need an inquiry into who gave the order to clear the protesters. Because someone did. I recall seeing reports that people at the ICC were told it would take 1/2 hour to disperse them. Who was it?
It's a good step that the LECC will investigate police misconduct and violence at Town Hall during the anti-Herzog protest. Now we need an independent investigation of the political incitement to violence by the NSW Premier and others.

Centrelink recipients who had Robodebts have just weeks to sign up to receive part of a massive payout. The federal government last year agreed to pay $475 million in additional compensation to about 450,000 victims of the calamitous robodebt scandal au.finance.yahoo.com/news/centrel...
Centrelink warning as deadline to claim $475 million just weeks away
The government is preparing to hand back $475 million to eligible recipients. Here's how to register.

Libspill remains a side show to the real carnage
Today, under the cover of the Liberals tearing each other down, Labor has approved another coal mine extension.

Extending Middlemount to 2044 means Labor has now approved 35 fossil fuel projects.

In the middle of the climate crisis, they're approving more coal & gas.

I dare you to find a better pairing than the NSW police and harming the elderly, you can’t. It’s impossible.

Mr G: You are very anti police and politicians.

Me: You KNOW where I grew up right? You had a very different experience of police to what I did.

#Auspol so I’ve noticed several Labor voters stating their intention to vote Greens or Independent at the next Federal or State election. Welcome aboard 🙌🏻. Apart from my in my youth I switched back to Greens probably a decade ago. I’m not a member of the party but am seriously considering it.

Our whole economic system also depends on a 5% unemployment rate.

The least we could do is pay them properly!
I really wish more people would read this.

Australia's unemployment benefits are the lowest in the OECD.

The government claims that this is to encourage people to get a job and lowers unemployment.

Studies have shown that this is bullshit (quelle surprise)

When I was in the city last Mon for the protest - walking to Town Hall - I was struck yet again by how many people are sleeping rough on our streets. I’ll never not be shocked by this.

Every homeless person in an affluent country is a sign of political failure. Shame!! #auspol

I’m actually curious to see how police react in other states as Herzog continues on his “Social Cohesion Tour”. Will they emulate the aggression shown in Sydney? Or is that specifically just a Minns thing? #Auspol #Herzog #FreePalestine

Fuck it. I’ve probably over shared tonight. But if it helps people understand how life can be growing up in a low socio economic area when you don’t have things like free Uni and a curated backstory.., I’ll own it.

Aside from all of the other illegal conduct by police, chasing people at running speed in an attempt to enforce move on orders is guaranteed to harm anyone with impaired mobility. Nice work, NSW.

They’re also well in to the corner of Town Hall Square, well out of everyone’s way.

This is NSW Police actively assaulting people in the middle of required religious practice, out of the way, denying their freedom of religion. #NSWPol #Palestine #Herzog #ACAB
