Millions aren't though
Pathetic 🤦♂️
Obviously nothing better to do with their time perhaps?
Fancy dress optional
Surely Schools and Hospitals won’t let any employees who protested today to return to work next week. Why’s isn’t their any directive from the government about this. Office workers aren’t allowed to return to work? It doesn’t make any sense.
They should start in their own back yard.
Stupid!
They think about black lives matters but don't give a shit if they can potentially kill people by spreading a virus.
If you're out in force during a 'global pandemic' your more likely to think that no lives matter
Small businesses matter too. Open the economy.
Black lives do matter!!! And that's why this shouldn't be happening.
If they are gathering for protest totally ignoring quarantine rules, then please lift the mandatory 14 day quarantine for travellers interstate. I mean what's the point? Covid19 is spreading with all these protests.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Hope all participants have the COVIDSafe app on their phones.
Time for all Australians to stand up and ignore the restrictions then if its good for the goose it's good for the gander
Let's all honour George who was a saint with a big criminal record ...let's also blame the whites for our indigenous who commit crimes and end up in jail ...blacklivesmatteraustralia
We have our whole life to protest. Please consider about saving our kids and elders from virus for now.
No social distancing, no masks, no limit on gathering, no worries. Threat of coronavirus is real. Comorbidities in aboriginals making them vulnerable is real. Protesting the risk to lives by putting lives at risk is good for media rating.
