Graph shows FOI decisions were much higher in 2016-17 than under the Albanese Government.

Crisis? What crisis?

Govt's own docs prove that there was no "swarm" of FOI requests that required Australians' FOI rights to be restricted.

No wonder govt delayed 150 days before releasing.

Labor being so right wing in enacting state sanctioned violence that even the onion munching Mad Monk is heaping glowing praise.

This is where chasing the "sensible centre" (way over here on the right) has lead us.

If only there had been examples of what not to do, like in the UK or US.

Anthony, Anthony, Anthony. Diversion does not advance social cohesion. You and your office, let alone your Party have flubbed it completely. Your new opposition is now the Australian people. Genocide is genocide. You and Marles are traitors to Australia. No catch.

'Minns said police had done β€œeverything possible to avoid ... confrontation, starting last week when they begged protest organisers to have it in Hyde Park, where it was safe and a march could take place”.'

☝️ 'Stay At Home, You'll Only Get In The Way' is a classic, but will it suffice? I think not.

In Australia The Police Beat You Up For Opposing Genocide

Australian authorities were fully aware that inviting Israel’s president was going to ignite unrest and furious opposition. They invited him anyway, and sent in the police to assault the protesters.

Boyd said police kettled demonstrators and then β€œstarted assaulting people,” claiming an officer pushed a fist into her chin, the Guardian reported. She posted a photo in a neck brace, saying later her body was β€œbattered and sore.” Boyd expressed shock at the police's actions, even after identifying herself as a member of state parliament. She blamed Premier Chris Minns, who defended police’s actions.

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

Yesterday Isaac Herzog tried to gaslight Australians, saying anyone arguing against his visit is also against Israel’s right to exist. He also openly rallied for support for Israel’s illegal invasion of Gaza.

Minns 'trying to bring a bit of Donald Trump's America to Sydney'
Josh Lees continues: As / said, Chris Minns unleashed this horrific police violence last night, one of the most outrageous lines he's trying to use today to justify that police brutality if that didn't happen we in some way pose a threat to the Jewish people in Sydney or the
people the Herzog event at the ICC. This is so dishonest. Chris Minns knows this is a complete lie, because people trying
to march were trying to march in the opposite direction of the event taking place. Chris Minns cannot possibly use as an excuse for the sickening police brutality meted out to us all. There is no for last night whatsoever. Chris Minns seemingly trying to bring a bit Donald Trump's America to Sydney. That cannot be allowed. We will
not stand for it. We need to stand stand up against this kind of authoritarianism, this crackdown on protesters and unleashing in violence. We have called another rally tonight at the Surry Hills Police Station, to make the point, there needs to be investigation into the police brutality, that all charges against protesters need to be dropped and we need to repeal this raft of anti-protest laws that Chris Minns has passed which led to the police thinking that are above the law, can do whatever they
want, brutalise protesters as we saw last night.

"This was a violent attack on protesters' Josh Lees from the Palestine Action Group is addressing a media conference which has been called by supporters of last night's rally to counter some of the claims from Chris
Minns and the NSW police.
Lees says: This was a violent attack on protesters, in order to roll the carpet out for someone who has incited a genocide in Gaza. That is the context here. We all would be aware of many of the brutal stories, of course, the videos that are going around of a man with his hands raised in surrender being pummelled by riot police, another man thrown to the ground, two police kneeling on him, while police repeatedly punch him in the head
and the kidneys. We saw the Muslim men kneeling in prayer, [attacked] by police.
There are so many stories coming in.
An old woman, I'm has four cracked ribs from her violent treatment overnight. I personally witnessed a young woman who was just trying to leave by herself, not as
part of a grabbed by the hair, thrown to ground and arrested. Another, 77-year-old man, was violently arrested, he was punched. suffered serious injuries. He can't walk properly today. He was then arrested on an assault police charge only to be five hours later, when of course it emerged that charge was
completely bogus. That should be a lesson when it comes to all of these so-called assaults, police charges. We said of course in the lead up to this, that the streets of Sydney should
belong to the people of Sydney, not president of a genocidal state. That is what should have occurred, our peaceful protest should have been allowed, we should are have been allowed to march, that's what we asked police for
continually last night.
