Has the introduction of "Hate Laws" also sent a clear message to police, that violent suppression of free speech, that is those citizens having dissenting views, and wishing to express them in the form of public protest, the new order of the day to the police is suppress any contrary opinions, that don't fit the new narrative. It was made clear at Monday nights Sydney protest against the state visit of the Israel's President Isaac Herzog, that "unauthorised" dissent won't be tolerated, and the police have been given carte blanche authority to deal with dissenters! Protesters have accused NSW Police of assaulting members of the public, saying police met them with "sickening state violence", which from filmed evidence would seem to be the case.

Naturally the new arbitrators of free speech, hard right politicians, violent coppers and far right commentators, will defend the actions of police, as most necessary in the name of law and order!

Paul,

The Hate Laws were introduced and passed by Albo and his mates, with cheering from the so-called progressives. The special police powers used to contain the rioters in Sydney on Monday were given to the police by the state ALP government.

Yet somehow silly Paul thinks its all a rightwing conspiracy. What a dill

The right are just as bad as the left on free speech, none have principles.
They'll turn a blind eye when their side does it, then scream the house down in some kind of weird point scoring match when the other side does it.
From the footage I saw the cops aren't any better when it comes to breaking the law either.
The police were probably given strict instructions to come down hard.

Zionist Occupied Government.

The left and the right are too busy fighting each other and seeing the world through a conservative v's progressive lens that they haven't woken up the the fact we're all being screwed, and these things we argue about is just a distraction to occupy us while the ruling classes steer things how they want.

See this bloke wearing the skull cap.

Am I supposed to believe he's free of bias when he criminalised my speech?

My speech rights are gone mhaze, don't complain about your gun rights.
We're all being played off against each other over things that essentially have nothing to do with us.

mhaze,

You are 100% correct when I said "Hate Laws" I was referring to all the new suppression laws passed by state and federal, mostly Labor governments, that's why the "". Should I think Labor politicians are not capable of introducing totalitarian laws, well they are, and they have proved it! No finer example of such laws than those introduced by Herr Minns (hard right politician) down there in NSW. Don't expect me to defend the Labor Party operatives when they do things like this. This is over reaction pandering to a small, but powerful lobby group within society.
