Suppressive laws and police brutality. There is a fix for this.
Protesters or any other disgruntled organised groups need to be assigned
to areas, that do not disrupt ordinary persons going about their daily routines.
Instead of enforced protest watching and police trying to clear passageway for uninterested persons, a designated protest venue needs to be in place. Like somewhere it does not interrupt the daily lives of people not interested.
Somewhere that police are not interested in controlling law and order, and rioters can do what rioters do.
To hold normal people to ransom has got to be illegitimate and un sociable. As it stands the unruly scream violence. [Let them murder
each other]
Mobs of duel citizen running amok for places they left behind.
This is AU if you do not like it f--OF

Hi ttbn,
Just so you know I never really cared much for Grace Tame, not my cup of tea, and I'm not really too sure if she deserves that 2021 award, I'm sure there a lot of other harder working and more deserving quiet achievers.

I wouldn't use the work 'intifada', because the word feels 'Muslim' to me, and if I said it, in my own stupid way I'd feel like I was an adherent of or acquiesce to Islam.

Globalise the resistance is fine with me though.

But just so you know, 'intifada'

AI Overview
"Intifada" is an Arabic word translating to "shaking off" or "uprising," commonly referring to periods of Palestinian resistance against Israeli control
. It signifies a rebellion, involving both widespread protests and violence, specifically highlighting the First (1987-1993) and Second (2000-2005) Intifada.

Protests, no matter by which brand of nutters, do not achieve anything - except even more hate and division.

Protests, hordes of people blocking streets, interfering with the majority, defying police instructions, even defying court decisions that they should not demonstrate in a particular place at a particular time, should cease altogether.

They are as useless as people arguing with each other online. Nothing changes.

Instead of the nonsense - that most Australians don't indulge in anyway - politicians should be politely but adamantly lobbied to change our ridiculous voting system that, as far as I'm aware, is not forced on people anywhere else.

Australia's compulsory preferential voting system “thwarts and distorts” the wishes of the electorate by forcing them to vote for parties, policies and politicians they loathe.

Politicians cannot be properly punished by voters while we have a virtual one-party (the uniparty, which takes turns in wrecking the country) system, and are forced to put a number alongside people we wouldn't piss on if they were on fire, if we want our votes to be formal.

The system is an undemocratic con favouring the uniparty. One way or the other, we elect a dictatorship which does as it pleases once it gets in. This is particularly evident now with the ultra-left Albanese regime; but you can bet your bottom dollar that the other drones will be the same.

If Albanese can get away with what he is doing, so will whoever goes through the sliding door next to “lead” the Liberal Party.

As Plato said, if you don't take an interest in politics, you will find yourself being ruled by your inferiors. And involvement doesn't mean the petulant self-indulgence of public protests, which do nothing but deepen the growing division and hatred in Australia. Not to mention the increasing likelihood of getting your block knocked off.

"No finer example of such laws than those introduced by Herr Minns (hard right politician) down there in NSW."

Chris Minns is hard right? Wow what a dill.

Still, Paul is consistent. In his view anyone to the right of Trotsky is hard right.

mhaze,

I wouldn't say Chris Minns is a dill, your words not mine. BUT, on this issue as Minns tries to placate the powerful Jewish faction, he is acting hard right with his totalitarian laws. As you have no connection with politics, I can tell you I've met many in the Labor Party who I consider more on the right than some Liberals.

Don't forget my Trump question you are yet to answer; Do you agree with The Donald that the Obama's are a family of APES? Daddy Ape, Mummy Ape and all the little Apes. HOW ABOUT AN ANSWER! Me thinks you CHICKEN!

More dill-ishment.

I wasn't saying Minns was a dill - I was describing your idiocy.

Trump didn't say the Obamas were apes. More dill-ishment.
