The footage out of Sydney overnight is abhorrent.

Peaceful protesters set upon by an army of police, punches thrown at people with raised hands, people praying ripped from their knees.

Is this violence the social cohesion that Labor wanted?

Violence against protesters must stop

We cannot ignore what we can see with our own eyes.

This was state violence.

And the blame lies with the NSW Labor government for attempting to shut down legitimate protest, and the federal Labor government who invited the head of a state committing genocide to our shores.

Shame on Labor.

Shame on the NSW Police.

The Greens remain in solidarity with the thousands of peaceful protesters who turned out across the country yesterday to say Australia stands against genocide.

It appears so. Little man syndrome on full display in Fed and State Parliament and on Sydney streets.

Who'd a thought Albanese's Labor would end up as shills for Zionism and Trump? Oh Right - we really do need to rid ourselves of this "troublesome priest", his perpetual colonialisation of Australia & his foreign interference, don't we?

Seems our “leaders” have seen Trumpism & said Yeah we need more of that here in Australia.

Yeah Nah!!!

Meanwhile the man Named by UN as being complicit in Genocide would be loving every minute of it.

Bad memories of Bjelke - Petersen & his repugnant ways.

I feel like I’m back in the 1970s when that Premier was Robert ‘ride over the bastards’ Askin, referring to those out protesting in Sydney against the visit by US head of state President Johnson about the Vietnam War. He was wrong. Minns is wrong now.

I guess Albanese wanted it, because how could even he not know it would happen? Cui bono?

The last time this level of violence was unleashed was 1978 against the Gay & Lesbian community. Police trapped them in the Cross & attacked them unmercifully. This is their M.O. This timeline sets out numerous interviews of that time. It changed everything. Can't believe it's happening again

Andrew Brown, Michael West Media’s eyewitness Sydney protest article defines repulsive police thuggery on non violent protestors. Protestors aged over 70, hands over their heads, praying, so many not threatening police. Police bottlenecked them, created crowd confusion, pepper sprayed. ICE related.

That Minns and his police commissioner are both insisting there’s nothing to see here is all you need to know.

I’m disgusted and sick at heart that we’ve come to this under Labor governments at state and federal level and my vote will reflect my disgust.

It must be Larissa. Labor is blind if they didn't see this coming, they're supposed to be not blind, so it must be deliberate. Albanese pathetic vacillation and Minns deliberate police state.

Indonesia preparing to send 8000 troops to Gaza on Trumps Peace Committee request.

Is @albomp.bsky.social doing the same? How Australians react to extermination of Gaza people will be interesting. #auspol

Interesting the Albanese was in Indonesia last week signing a joint defence treaty.And he still hasn’t said no to a place on the ‘bored of peace’.

The government using the police as their own private goon squad to violently suppress peaceful dissent? Sounds very 🍊

I remember Anthony Albanese once proudly stating, "I fight Tories. It's what I do."

Does he even know what a Tory is, any more (if, indeed, he ever did)? 1/2

In 2013 I bought two "Hot Albo" T-shirts. My question is how to re-use them in order to best express my feelings:

1. Fashion them into knickers?
2. Use them as cleaning rags?
3. Something different?

It sounded good in the "log cabin story" his publicists wrote about him along with his Parliamentarians for Palestine & his brilliance as a master of strategy learned from Richo. Truth is there has been no Labor Party since Whitlam was sacked only in it for themselves neoliberals & god botherers.

Ah, yes, hate preacher Sheikh Ibrahim Dadoun leading fake prayer there who on 8/10/2023 within 24h of the mass terrorism slaughter of >900 civilians & children, systemic mass rapes, dragging ~250 hostages into tunnels; was on a megaphone in Lakemba starting the protest party with "I'm smiling [...]

Islamist terror, genocide promoter & protest organiser Dadoun was Director of PR at Australian National Imams Council for 3 years until just months before that.

The ICE Gestapo has arrived in Australia. How long until they're being masked and disappearing people to concentration camps MAGA style? Bad enough that a far right extremist regime is doing that in the US, all the more shocking when a supposedly centre left government in Aus is going down that path

I am so angry. I've never reached out to so many politicians and will keep going every chance I get. Albo needs to take responsibility for inciting this violence, and resign. Minns needs to go too. How dare they deny us our voices over the hateful voice of a genocidal leader from another country!
