I agree. Resignations are required. Hope someone meets or beats my request to place Minns’s words about NSW police being pals with the Muslim community over the appalling footage of praying people being literally thrown about.

I am kinda desperate to find the apparently iconic footage of some government worker’s hand slapping the conquistador statue’s face after it was felled. My search skills aren’t up to that job.

Just saw a report on ABC News 24 - they show none of the footage of police punching people, or Police pulling people away as they’re in prayer. They just show police and protestors scuffling - saying Police used pepper spray. That’s how you get away with it. NewsCorp etc will be worse #auspol
How on earth is the media gonna spin this.
They will have to get extremely creative to pull this one off.
Will we wake up tomorrow to hear that we are all Hamas and deserve being ruffed up by NSW police?
It will be interesting to see what they come up with by 5.30 tomorrow morning.

Can hear many voices screaming at the Australian police "stop", "they're praying, they're fucking praying, leave them alone" as they're dragged from their kneeling positions.

What fucking threat are they?
None!

A useful way to see what the #AtlasNetwork does is to see what it has done elsewhere.
Venezuela, for example.

A piece from Progressive International focused on the embeddedness of Maria Machado, Nobel Prize winner 🙄, in the #AtlasNetwork.
See what Atlas partners have been doing to Venezuela after Chavez challenged Exxon & its profits, and the neoliberal consensus.

Excellent coverage from a journalist inside the protest. NSW police who want to bash civilians can move to ICE & get a sign-on bonus. We don’t want you here.

Anyone out there got the skills & the energy to run the audio of Minns (or commissioner?) saying what a great relationship NSW police has with the Muslim community and how they’d never physically throw around praying people over the footage of them doing exactly that? It’s in here if nowhere else

Surely the question on every Labor voter's lips - why is the supposed progressive party so silent?
The similarity to the members of the GOP in their acceptance of DJT and the Labor caucus's silence re tax, fossil fuels, NACC etc is stunning

Yes it is.

So is "silencing dissent" in fact by not allowing consensus between the inner circle (the caucus) and the outer ministry, will create erosion of ideas and a resentment that disables commitments ministers made to wider electorates outside of the core centres like Sydney.
