    The “solution” to mass shootings is to get rid of the mass instead of the shooter???

      Pretty on brand for one of the worlds most fervent ‘nanny states’

      I’m just surprised Australia hasn’t baby-fied terrorism yet. ‘Antisemie does a shootie, so no more protesties!’

      I mean, getting rid of the racism seemed like the main take away but in no scenario does banning protests achieve this

      You clearly don’t understand Anglophone culture; killing us a sacred act and blood sacrifice our highest ritual. Going after shooters would be like an Italian catholic trying to assassinate the pope!

        Is it weird that now I’m craving Italian sausage? I don’t even care what it’s in. I’ll eat a handful or two of ground Italian sausage right fuckin now.

      It feels like this is just building pressure. Peaceful protests were giving people a means of expression. The vibes from the few that I have seen were pretty positive.

    So police have MORE power to be dickheads for the entire festive period. “Move on people I disagree with or I’ll arrest you as a terrorist.” Fucking brilliant work Minns. I’m sure all the terrorists will stop now that they aren’t allowed to peacefully protest… (edit)

      They’ve always had that power, especially in NSW.

    Under no pretext should Australian workers have surrendered arms and ammunition and now, predictably, they’ve been denied their right to assembly as well

    People like minns hate the fact we can protest legally without being crushed by the police. He seems determined to change that and has been partially successful
