Without those extra powers for public safety and such, those people would have already marched at a safe walking pace and gone home for dinner followed by doomscrolling.
Instead they were fleeing from being pepper sprayed or tackled or punched.

RIP Jon Kudelka. One of the fiercest, funniest truth tellers Australia has ever known. A comic warrior for decency and justice. Devastating news.

Clearly had his hands up grabbing invisible puppet strings for the bike to trip up the police.. that's why he got punched viciously in the ribs by multiple (hopefully soon to be ex-)policemen.
This is not ok.

Sad news about @kudelka.bsky.social - he was fighting the good fight for a better, more human world and just when he's gone: NSW descends into full blown police violence against peaceful protest. His quoll-ity political commentary will be sorely missed and is needed more than ever.

The problem with tax in Australia is not that we pay too much income tax, but that the richest and most profitable get huge tax breaks that distort the housing market, encourage fossil fuel emissions and general make inequality worse.

Labor's carbon "safeguard mechanism" is an environmental lemon — a government-mandated greenwashing scheme that does nothing to reduce real emissions, @ketanjoshi.co writes.
Ssh! This is why Labor doesn't talk about the safeguard mechanism
Labor's safeguard mechanism is clearly ineffective at reducing real carbon emissions. It's a mandated greenwashing scheme.

Yikes. Up there with "fatbergs" in terms of levels of disgusting.
Unidentified chunks update:
“Most likely explanation” is that it was oil that had been “liberated” from dead fish, and congealed. Yum!!
Thanks for giving this the environmental green light, Albo

It's what happens when you investigate yourself.
I asked the AFP the result of their reviews into the Carrick matter where AFP officers radicalised a 13 year old autistic boy. Their reviews found everything their officers did was 'lawful'.
This is very hard to take.
