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.

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.
Cool. Doing a frame by frame analysis to check whether 6 cops beating up a 76-year-old man is ok or not
Video shows protestor's violent arrest began with a hand on a shoulder
New video obtained by ABC NEWS Verify shows in vivid detail the arrest of a 76-year-old man, who was later released without charge.

#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.

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)

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.
