Now the shoe’s on another foot –
The NSW Greens have urged the state’s police minister to pull officers into line, after more climate activists were arrested today, amid growing concern about “draconian” anti-protest laws.
The MPs, Sue Higginson and Abigail Boyd, said climate campaigners and supporters of Blockade Australia continue to be arrested and questioned in alarming circumstances.
“The police operation that is under way throughout NSW today in response to peaceful protestors is a clear warning of how far down the road we are towards a police state,” Sue Higginson told the Guardian.
“The NSW Police should immediately cease using the methods that are on display across NSW today and there needs to be a full review of the processes and procedures that have allowed these oppressive policing tactics to occur.”
Protest is fundamental to a democracy and played a vital role in giving people a peaceful voice outside of law. Removing the right to peaceful protest was a dangerous and draconian step for NSW to take.
“This is yet more evidence of the chilling effect that these new anti-protest laws are having on our democratic right to protest in this state,” Abigail Boyd said.
“I know the people on the coast who have been subjected to this police overreach. These are peaceful residents going about their lives, with their only apparent crime being their desire to see climate justice on our planet.”
That the police now feel emboldened to interrogate people on their doorsteps and pull them over on their way to work simply because of their political opinions should send a shockwave of alarm through our society. This is an assault on the basic principles of our democracy.
The NSW upper house on Wednesday passed Boyd’s call for papers which will see the government forced to release all internal documents regarding the creation and operation of anti-protest laws.
Higginson has called for an investigation into the police operation against Blockade Australia on a Colo property on 19 June.
stupid woman . no further comment required
Yes indeed, the other foot. Where were these models of democracy when police were pepper spraying peaceful protestors in Canberra – over a real threat to our lives.

“………..Like the Bible says of ancient King Saul, who ruled before King David, “The Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him” (I Sam 16:14). This is where we are now in our times. Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.
Historically this is what happens before destruction. The ancients knew this.
We all feel it and sense it. There is a spirit of madness and virtually insanity that is upon so many in our nations at this time. It is unsustainable. It is overwhelmingly lacking in basic truth and a grasp of reality and the truth that is of this time. But historically this is what happens before destruction. The ancients knew this…………..”

Blockade Australia? WTF for???/!!!! The morons are turning from suicide to homicide?
Yes, and the same people were applauding the police actions when it came to wearing a mask.
Please don’t upset them they cry and stamp their feet like the brats they are.
The police do their work to stop the disruption from these clowns and then the magistrates go soft cock on them, the way they protest does nothing towards their cause 🤬
I noticed the Greens didn’t give a toss when the police did worse to anti lockdown protestors!! Dickheads

This deserves a simple “sucked in”.
The Greens, not a word of Democratic protest during the Melbourne Police attack on the people so now hide under the democratic umbrella that they so wish to destroy pales of psychopathic hypocrisy.
What the hell is “Climate justice”?
Does this entitled idiot grasp that the climate is oblivious to justice, or injustice, not being a sentient being.
And where was this hypocrite when citizens rightfully protested at the violation of their Constitutional and private rights by being forced to submit to a dangerous experimental pseudo-vaccination?
Personally, I support the right of all citizens to protest, but to claim this for some and not for others makes the Greens complicit in repression.
If they break the law ( which incidentally they pushed for), YES, LOCK ‘EM UP!
Now they know what it is like to be on the receiving end of draconian laws and it might make them realise they are the same as the rest of us…not above us.
Throw the book at them.
Pat on the back for Aussie police force!
YES – It looks like it, >Step< "The mind keep on Boggling…"
Are these the same people who called us conspiracy theorists because we did not want to be injected with Bill Gates’ poison? Those same people who said that we have no right to protest and that we should stay home and shut up?
