We'll say it again: "social cohesion", to those who chant it, means maintenance of the status quo which privileges them, and silencing of everyone else. In the mouth of a Labor MP, it is an expression of the deepest hypocrisy.

I've attended many rallies in Sydney: anti-nuclear, anti-war, Aboriginal rights, climate action, gay marriage, Voice, pro-Palestine.
At the #HerzogNotWelcome rally tonight, I felt genuinely afraid of our NSW Police. Protesters were peaceful & cooperative. The police were angry & violent. 😔 #nswpol

Never forget the protection Nazis received from NSW Police when they gathered outside the NSW Parliament in 2025.
No-one was violently assaulted. No-one was pepper sprayed. No-one was arrested.
You'll recall—Nazis are renowned for protecting Jewish communities. #sarcasm #auspol
