Because I grew up in QLD in the ‘80s, I’m more often surprised when police *don’t* attack demonstrators. So I’ve had that familiar feeling this week of watching people come to a difficult truth: when you see a demo turn ugly, it’s almost always because the cops decided that’s how it was gonna go.
The cop riot
So, first things first, a big congrats to Angus Taylor.

Angus Taylor is the perfect example of what private education can do.
Your kids got shit for brains? Don't worry, King's can still get him into the top job and the only side effect is racism.

I asked Penny Wong today how hosting President Herzog in Australia when UN experts have found he incited genocide, when he has signed bombs used on Gaza, and right now Israel is stealing more Palestinian land, how could that ever be about peace?

My son (went to bridge protest) asked me why I was taking a mask to a #Protest.
I explained that the police had been given power to use gas on us.
"Why would they do that, Dad?"
"Well... They want to stop us speaking about the bad things that are happening"
"Why would they want to do that?..."

as we mark 18 years since Closing the Gap was launched with the National Apology to Stolen Generations and their Descendants, know that police routinely target and brutalise Aboriginal people including children and then charge them with offensive behaviour, resist arrest, and assault police.

I was always taught that if you cut the head off the monster, filled its mouth with salt, and buried the carcass at a crossroads at midnight, everything would be tickety-boo. Yet somehow Scott Morrison came back from the dead this week.

Complaining about the comedic depiction of Indigenous kids in jail, but doing nothing about the fact of Indigenous kids being massively over incarcerated? That's the Australian way.
