Yeah, we’d just spent two months in lockdown, restrictions of 20 people gathering outdoors and yet 10,000 people decided to be like America and have a massive 10,000 people gathering.
Yes I stand for something, the eradication of the Greens

That is what newspapers are for and journalists are routinely rejected about any information that the Andrews government deems too politically sensitive for their tastes, meaning it'd make them look incompetent if released.
No, they’re not and even Sutton has admitted this.

They were breaking covid rules as large gatherings (for any reason) were not legally permitted, there were even cops moving on large groups of people at parks and beaches at the time. If they weren't disobeying covid rules why were the organizers fined around $5k (supposedly, wouldn't surprise if they were later quietly withdrawn) each?

Andrews gave a tepid limp wristed admonishment to the protest, it was almost like he didn't want to offend the would-be protesters and be accused of being sympathetic to racists, something that would be detrimental to his lefty cred. Whatever the case might have been for his lack of conviction in condemning the protest, it promptly went ahead and the coppers just looked on like stunned mullets at the whole thing.

ok, got it.
Their tactics are so obvious but it works every single god damn time
It’s funny how police weren’t able to stop the BLM protest at risk of offending people or making things worse. No one could be fined because they didn’t want to start trouble and it was too much work to track people down.
Yet now the anti lockdown protests see police taking action to stop them, causing fights, will track down everyone who attended etc…
Then posts on here just prove the point, if you dare to take issue with a lefty protest in a pandemic they call you a racist…
That’s the way it works right? Left wing trolls flood the board with attacks on Morrison anytime their dear leader greatly *s up to try and shift the blame and narrative.

but you wouldn’t call Morrison’s quarantine and vaccine strategies a success though. Surely even you can agree with that.

Back in June 2020 covid wasn't circulating as much as it is now and yet the coppers decided to be very hands off with protesters last year. Geez I wonder why that was?
It made more sense to be physical with protesters back in June 2020 than protesters coming out to recent protests because the virus is swirling around more as well as being more contagious so using something like water cannons to disperse the crowds would be smarter than coppers getting physical with them.

Quarantine has mostly worked given the number of people who’ve passed through there, the number of positive cases and the low number of escapes. Some new facilities could have been built earlier, but were the states actually offering up genuine options? You can’t just build them In the middle of nowhere like people want and the states still have the people needed to run them, not the commonwealth.
The states have enjoyed the success of hotel quarantine and only go on the attack when it goes pear shaped, they want the success but not willing to wear the failures.
The vaccine rollout is behind pace, some governments fault, others not. But even if they were on track, it wouldn’t have stopped any of the current or recent lockdowns. We’d still be nowhere near the targets the premiers are setting and there was never a need to bypass approvals and rush things through as the risk was low.
Even now and millions of Australians still think the risk of blood clots is higher than catching Covid so willing to wait. Had we rushed vaccinations then millions of younger Australians would have had AZ before issues were discovered, then what would the narrative be? Government would be even more damned than they are now.

No, concern for people with more difficult lives than your own.

When did the Victorian police say they were going to track down everyone who attended?
i'm not sure what the socioeconomic breakdown of yesterdays lockdown protest is (anecdotally, it seemed like a lot of well-fed middle class types from what I saw in the news) - but I can guarantee you that there is a magnitude more low-socioeconomic and marginalised people either working RN as essential workers or waiting for the lockdown to end this week - in order to return to work.
the protest achieves nothing but potentially put that in jeopardy.

Nice. So we shouldn't try and help people less fortunate than ourselves.

yes, yes we should consider the feelings of qanon incels and sovereign citizens because they don’t get what they want
not by appealing to their base ignorance to win their votes
but by social policies when in power
