NSW police have gone to great lengths to stop any and every pro-Palestine anti-genocide protest. They didn't even oppose the neo-Nazi rally that was held on the steps of NSW state parliament on Saturday. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Thinking about a question from @timdunlop.bsky.social Why isn’t every vote in parliament a conscience vote? It would be if we expected #MPs to represent us. The block party voting that is such a hindrance to reforms and innovation occurs because WE don’t insist on consultation & representation

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... A former Greens candidate who required surgery after allegedly being struck by police at a pro-Palestine protest says she was “sickened” by the force’s authorisation of a neo-Nazi rally on the steps of parliament, alleging it showed “a clear double standard”.

Meanwhile, in Tasmania the Government wants to spend billions it doesn’t have to build a stadium. Decisions like this from WA government take guts and demonstrate responsibility.
