Speaking of names given to people, Christian is not one used in tonight’s Census: Islam is on the list as are Hinduism and Buddism. Catholic, Anglican, Uniting Church, Presbyterian, Greek Orthordox, and Baptist have been listed, but they are denominations of Christianity, NOT religions. So, if you are not a church-goer, you have to write Christian in ‘Other’. The examples of ‘other’ suggested are Lutheran and Salvation Army (both Christian denominations), Judaism, Taoism, and atheism, the latter not being a religion at all.

There doesn't have to be. The facts are it is killing people and ending lives. I think all people need to tone down the protests a bit, (whatever they are about) and find other ways to get their message across. An online petition maybe at the moment, phone calls, emails? Comments on this page and get new people to sign up?

We have people fighting for freedom 'now' despite the risks of COVID-19 and yet we had people protesting against speakers like Milo Yiannopoulos years ago when COVID-19 was not an issue. Where were the freedom protests then?

The double standards for me are a bit of a turn off.

Ttbn,
Come now Catholicism is Christianity the other Christian religions are but breakaways from Catholicism, which merely means Universal.

Boofheads perhaps, but selfish?

A selfish person cares only to maximise their personal gain, certainly not to lose.

Such a person would either stay at home to avoid trouble or go out and socialise covertly, but these protesters went out overtly knowing well that there is nothing they could possibly gain, including freedom, along an almost certainty that they will be fined if not even arrested.

Dear NathanJ,

It was rather confronting wasn't it and selfish buffoons is a pretty apt description.

People have rightly made comparisons to the BLM protests and fair enough to a degree. Both have been part of worldwide coordinated campaigns and both required participants to break Covid rules in some states.

However there was a glaring difference.

This is the mask compliance at the Melbourne BLM protest.

And this is one of the Anti-lockdown crowd in the same city over the weekend.

Hardly a mask in sight. If they had a brain between them then they should have thought about masking up to make identification harder, but it seems that didn't occur to the bulk of the clowns.

SR the whole point of the march was to protest about this whole ship show that is the response to Covid, especially masks.
Perhaps you can assist me. Is the current Covid test any good? I read 50% failure rate? There is a much quicker test invented in Aus and a lot cheaper but not preferred by Brettie Sutton so he goes with the half wrong one at three times the price?
Masks, well, this is an absolute can of worms! Fauci the lying little despot said yes, no and then yes and no, I think he settled on No? Amazing that there are still loads of cases, alledgedly, but the deaths are plumeting.
Andrews is still the No 1 Covid killer in Australia despite all the vitriol he hurls at Gladys and despite all his gold standard boasting.
Off you go SR with your brand of smarty pants and bile give me the info!
