I very genuinely do not think that Australia's media industry can be classified as any other than fully supportive of police violence, because you have to actively, consciously and knowingly work to frame what happened as general "violence mars protests" rather than "police violently attack protest"

The govt said it wouldn't be perfect from day 1. It's opportunistic for those that called for the policy to declare it is a failure so early.
The only way it would be perfect is a full ID check situation which the opposition (rightly) forced the govt to exclude. This is the mess you all made.
