mobs of idiots

Let them protest and then quarantine them on Christmas Island for a month or two.......or even a year or two!!

Let them get infected but keep them away from us ..... OurLivesMatter

So all these fucking experts need to stop them from happening ! Is it so hard ?

So will you arrest these protestors like you did the peaceful lockdown protests?..I don’t think so..Its all about bringing in mass control end game..set off city violence then subdue

i bet NONE will be dragged off to police station UNLIKE the LONE woman with her young son recently

If people don’t care about their own community, you believe they care about anything?

Planned protests worldwide pushed by media then next it will be 2nd wave covid pushed by media it's all to predictabe now.

If only these politicians, health experts and police had the power to do something that would restrict the movements and activities of Australian citizens.

It’s interesting, particularly in USA, Will there be a spike from protestors together? If there is, what will the narrative be? If there isn’t, what does *that* mean?

Aussie race-based protests expose 'double standards' over public health policy | Sky News AustraliaThe attempt to “cut and paste” the Black Lives Matter movement from the United States to Australia has exposed the “double standard” held by the Australian premiers concerning coronavirus restrictions, Sky News host Paul Murray says. \n\nWhile NSW COVID-19 restrictions state an individual can be fined for having more than five people over to their house, a public protest which attracts over 500 people apparently poses little public health issues. \n\n“If you feel like you are being punished for doing the right thing while others can do what the heck they want because the cause is righteous, you would be 100 per cent correct,” Mr Murray said. \n\nThe premiers “took away Mother’s Day, they took away Anzac Day, but apparently the right to pretend that the Black Lives Matter movement is as potent in Australia as it is in the United States is fine”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia CathAussie tomhanks The cause outweighs the risk
