Can anyone point to the legislation that states once a person puts a police uniform on they are exempt from breaking the law?
And why do police need military style automatic rifles in a country with some of the strictest gun laws in the world?
Or vehicles like BearCats?

Another reason I’m glad I no longer work for corporate America: I don’t have to pretend that people like #LesWexner aren’t greedy, grasping, soul-sucking ghouls they truly are. I know Victoria’s real Secret - it’s been bankrolling child sex trafficking for decades.

Israel is erasing Palestinians in every way they can:
ethnic cleansing
detention and torture
destroying infrastructure
denial of aid, and
thermobaric weapons.
When President Herzog visits Parliament today, any MP or Senator who attends is complicit with genocide.

The fact that as over 80 year olds, we attended the Melbourne protest and drove a very long way to do so, suggests that there is something dreadfully wrong in this country. The people attending these event are not ratbags, they have a conscience.

“A group of pro-Palestine Labor members have voiced their “distress & disgust” at the police response to protests over Israeli president Isaac Herzog’s visit to #Sydney, accusing the #NewSouthWales govt of overseeing a “terrible erosion of civil liberties” in its crackdown on public demonstrations.”

Ugly scenes, and all a result of a visible “toughening” of NSW Police’s response to protesters.

I reckon you could've convinced 40% of Australians to sign a petition against every LNP leader since Howard going anywhere.
There would still be benefits both to Australia & the host from maintaining cordial relations.

NSW anti-protest laws were rushed through to keep the peace. They’ve failed
NSW is now one of the most draconian anti-protest jurisdictions in the democratic world, with anti-protest rules that violate international law.
NSW Premier Chris Minns' egregious, undemocratic, authoritarian and unnecessary NSW "anti-protest laws clearly violate international law".
"(D)isruption, ... inconvenience to the public or resource burdens on police do not justify restrictions."

An old employer hired a consultant who was super woowoo & a few my peers declined to participate based on religious objections. They were anarcho-communist atheists. The ensuing conflict was really entertaining!

What Happens When Midwives Lead Abortion Care: Lessons from Sweden | International Confederation of Midwives
In Sweden, abortion is recognised as essential healthcare—built on decades of research and early innovation. More recently, reforms have enabled midwives to play a central role, making care safer, tim...
Sweden’s experience with midwives providing abortion care offers lessons for other countries. Swedism midwives have long led care for healthy women during pregnancy and birth, with doctors supporting when complications arise. Applying the same model to abortion care is both logical and effective.

For our ice breaker (ugh) at our division meeting today, we all had to break into small groups and say what our astrological sign is.
I really can’t imagine a more cringe worthy ice breaker.

So Anthony Albanese thought inviting a wanted zionist war criminal to Australia. Would really bring social cohesion.
Since Monday after the press conference at Bondi. Herzog has spoken only to the Prime Minister at a dinner last night. And the Jewish diaspora in Sydney.

So Jews in Australia don't actually accept our Head of State because they aren't really Australian? Is that what this means? And if that is what they mean why are they living here?

It also officially makes our Prime Minister antisemitic
He stated that the Israeli
President is the head of state of Australian Jews

Herzogs trip to Australia is nothing but propaganda and lobbying to make sure the $$$$$ keep flowing to Israel that they can overtake the West Bank totally .
