The US should not be allowed to make Australia complicit in nuclear war. 50 years ago Whitlam believed that and he was right.

The NSW Police could have stopped it. They didn't want to. Someone should ask them why.
It's no accident that Nazis rallied in Sydney. Police waved them through — and now Minns wants to punish us all
