Violence at Sydney protests was not about public safety – it was about power avoiding uncomfortable truths about Gaza, dissent and democratic rights, Stuart Rees writes.
#PearlsAndIrritations #auspol #ProtestRights #Democracy
Cowardice dressed up as authority on Sydney’s streets
The violence surrounding protests against the visit of Israel’s president was not an accident of crowd control. It reflects a deeper political failure – where authority suppresses dissent rather than confronting uncomfortable truths about Gaza, protest rights and democratic responsibility.

The Australian political class is increasingly legitimizing unaccountable state violence, says @timdunlop.bsky.social.

“This is precisely the path the US took to its current state of authoritarian governance.” #auspol

police rushed and sprayed crowds of people who were trying to run away from them but were trapped… by more police. The Muslims were kneeling and praying on their mats and were not on the road. If this is a riot, the police were rioting.

The job.
My @smh cartoon.
Two frames. (Like two pages of a picture book.) 1. Scene of PM Albanese at his desk, looking embattled, holding a phone that is shouting at him, pen in other hand. IN tray stacked full of papers on one side of him, OUT tray empty. Waste paper basket overflowing one side of desk, fire extinguisher other side. Text: “He used to wish he could just get on with his job, instead of spending all his time pandering to special interest groups…” 2. Zoom in on PM in same position, now looking at us, text continues: “Until one day he realised that *was* his job.”

Defence's new partner for their 'Ghost Shark' is US tech-bro Palmer Lucky.

Who recently said he 'loves killer robots.'

But don't worry, when Defence works with him, they will be "consistent with Australia's interpretation of law."

Up to 2 years in prison for saying “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” - that’s the legislation currently before Queensland Parliament under the Crisafulli government. They’re going to have to build more prisons before we choose to be silent about genocide.
Illustrated political poster showing the silhouette of QLD in bold blood red, textured like a lino print. Large hand-lettered text across the state reads, “From Brisbane River to Moreton Bay, I’ll decide what you can say!” A caricature of Queensland Premier David Crisafulli looms from the top right, looking down at the map. His finger presses into the lower part of Queensland, denting the surface and breaking a placard in half.

Ali Al-lami compared NSW Police brutality to IDF brutality. On a completely different topic, NSW Police trapped a group of civilians including children and babies with no way of getting out past the heavily armed guards and then used chemical weapons on them, collectively.
Another protester, Ali Al-lami says he was pushed to the ground and called a "brown c*nt". Police proceeded to punch Al-lami and handcuff him while pressing his head to the ground. "It was like how an IDF soldier would put a Palestinian to the ground and brutalise them. That's exactly what they did to me," Al-lami said. He was arrested but subsequently released without charge. "They released me without any charges because they know what they did was wrong. They didn't have any legal basis to arrest me. I did nothing wrong, I wasn't resisting, I didn't attack anyone," he said.

Palestine Action wasn’t banned because it’s a terrorist organisation. It was banned because large corporations, like the Elbit weapons firm, have captured the UK government

That's enough money to build 10,000s public homes but for Defence it's pocket change they lost down back of the couch.
