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.

"You do not have the right to complain but we're putting a nice bow of an excuse on it so it looks better" -Aussie government right now

Not like anyone's going to be protesting over Christmas and New year's anyway.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck. The. Police.

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

[–] prex@aussie.zone 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You think that we got & kept the right to assemble by owning arms and ammunition!?

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

No, I think you just lost the right to assemble by not owning arms and ammunition. You're going to lose more rights too. Political power flows from the barrel of a gun.

working out great for us in the us

Most of the people in the US with guns support the fascists. Leftists are relatively scarce and Liberals typically hate guns.

Right, so what you're proposing has had entirely the opposite effect to what you claimed?

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm proposing that political power flows from the barrel of a gun and provided pretty strong evidence that is true. What are you going on about?

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Guns truly were the first technologies the ancient Egyptians invented.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

i’m aware

but more lefties with guns than you think just less gunsexuals on the left

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

I think most Lefties who can own guns, do own guns. Lefties are just incredibly outnumbered by Liberals (and conservatives)

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

Was there a protest involved?

[–] mickus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

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
