I wonder if it was any of Shortens old thug union mates who tore off Abbott's sisters jacket?

Councillor Christine Forster talking about the melee and how threatened she was,

Cr Forster said people should able to walk into an event "unmolested, unassaulted and unattacked".

"Not being spat on, not being abused in my electorate of the City of Sydney, in my beautiful, wonderful city of Sydney and this was a terrible attack," she said.
"It was shocking to me and it was dangerous. These people put not only Virginia and me in danger, but they put the police who were looking after us in serious danger and they put themselves in danger by the way they were reacting.

"People were trying to punch us, people ripped the jacket off my back … If you want to make your political protest, anyone can make a political protest anywhere in Australia, but you don't do it like that."

One wonders though, if Councillor Forster has paused since to reflect and to question whether these are very much the same serial activists with the same handlers who were also responsible for the nasty 'equal marriage' demonstrations (both sides) and other *bleep* stirring?

Councillor Forster is right to say, "If you want to make your political protest, anyone can make a political protest anywhere in Australia, but you don't do it like that". Time for Malcolm Turnbull, Bill Shorten and Richard di Natale to step up to the plate as one force and discourage it.

A chain gang working on the roads sounds like a good idea, & we should add any of these judges who won't punish thugs & criminals.

The feigned indignation from the forums number one hard right poster, leoj. There was a bit of a noisy, but peaceful, protest outside a Liberal Party nosh up in Redfern, that part is true. Where is the evidence of extreme violence leoj? All you present is the biased reports from Murdoch's no news, News Ltd, and some political point scoring from Abbott's sister, hardly reliable evidence. In the only footage I have seen Ms Forster jacket is seen to be in perfectly good order as she enters the building, later it is mysteriously presented with a two foot long tear up one side. Amazing.

As a non violent person myself, If violence was to have occurred, I deplore it unequivocally.

Hi Paul,

Yeah, we didn't see Christine Forster out the back, deliberately tearing her jacket, did we ? News Ltd bastards.

And they didn't report that Dastyari had both his legs broken and his kidneys badly damaged by the kicking he got from New Ltd's paid Right-wing thugs. Did we read about that ? Hmmmm ?

End Fake News Now ! All Right is wrong ! All Left is good !

George Orwell, where are you ?

Hi Joe, for a moment I though the lefty accused was in lots of froth and bubble. Not so, that bleeding heart Liberal minded judge, Judge Roland Freisler has been assigned the case. Judge Freisler is well known for his sympathetic Liberal views, particularly towards anyone who would, without just cause. viciously attack a political high flyer.

I hope once Ms Forster is discharged from the intensive care ward she is well enough to return that coat of dubious quality to Kmart for a full refund.
