How is THIS not hate-speech? Or incitement to violence?! I saw this in an Anne Aly Tik Tok. I can't find ANY media reporting. Was Katter censured?! #auspol #racism

Deeply disturbed by the anger, insults & violence by NSW Police against peaceful protesters at Town Hall, Sydney tonight. Many clips shared on social media. Sadly, others not because police grabbed or shoved people violently from behind, then stepped back. #nswpol #HerzogNotWelcome #HervogVisit

I asked Minister Don Farrell a simple question: Should we fund legal help for women fleeing violence and families in crisis?

Community Legal Centres tell us 7,500 people are turned away each year.

The Minister's response tells you everything you need to know.

My #TikTok FYP now opens every single time with pro-Israel propaganda videos. The latest: this video by #AIPAC declaring Israel helps keep America safe. How long before we start seeing this obscene propaganda tailored to our Australian context? Block. 😠 #auspol #IsraelTerroristState #FreePalestine

How to introduce a police state, incrementally:

1. Invite the head of a genocidal, apartheid state to visit, and gaslight the nation that this helps with "healing".
2. Use "community safety" as excuse to restrict protests.
3. Pretend you're 'balancing' things, when you are suppressing dissent.

Since Trump came on to the political scene America, a country that would clutch its pearls over any minor faux pas, has now normalized:
- grabbing by the pussy
- trafficking rape of minors
- open corruption
- grifting
- being on Russias side
- Masked Men asking for your papers
- censorship

One Nation has just released another racist & hateful video, this time a ‘spot the Westerner' video. Turn it into selfie mode & we can call it “spot a bigot”. Filming people in Melb CBD & claiming city no longer looks like a "Western nation". You are on Aboriginal land you bloody bigots.

Get this: the Israeli president’s visit will be so divisive, according to NSW Police, that the appropriate response is to ban all public assemblies while he’s here, rather than, say, him not coming.
