Constitutional challenge to Minns’ anti-protest laws verdict to be handed down 3pm today

1. Chris Ben Minns is just the most egregious example of zionist captured politicians… I hope the court punts it into the gutter, where it belongs.

2. New South Wales’ highest court has struck down the anti-protest law brought in after the Bondi beach terror attack which gave police the power to restrict marches and demonstrations.

   Not entirely unexpected, the Court found the laws to be unconstitutional and ‘burdened the implied constitutional right to freedom of communication on government and political matters’.

   Queensland could be next with its over the top restrictions.

3. Aaaand.. the court has duly scrubbed it.Your move, Minnsheimer.

4. Thank you Blak Caucus, the Palestine Action Group and Jews Against the Occupation ’48, thank you.

   Shove that in ya pipe and smoke it Labor. Eat shit Labor

5. What an indictment on life under Labor when the best domestic news for a long time is that draconian, authoritarian Labor legislation is thrown out by the courts. (The news of Labor creating an Australian CDC was good news, but not on this scale.)

   Labor is clearly intent on repressing dissent by any means; don’t worry about working according to the constitution just throw up bad legislation to engineer a vicious and violent attack on peaceful protesters, then rock up at 5 am and kick their door down so that the neighbours think you must from hell.

   We can’t rely on the courts forever, Labor is testing ways to get around the courts. Labor is trying to get Pinochet-style ‘disappear’ people legislation through the Senate that won’t have judicial oversight. Labor has rigged the electoral funding laws to disadvantage opponents.

   Our children and grandchildren’s future depends on us throwing bad governments out.

6. Thommo writes that “our children and grandchildren’s future depends on us throwing bad governments out”

   Fair enough.

   But what do the citizenry do when their only choices are all bad governments? Angus Whatshisname has just given a masterclass lecture on embedded racism and white man superiority, so he and the rump of what’s left of the LNP can go back to the rock they crawled out from under and leave us alone, given they’ve nothing positive to offer.

   By all means, toss Labor out for being a pack of revisionist hypocritical bastards who’ve betrayed all the core principles that once made them a worthy political force.

   What then? Who’s gunna replace them?

   Is our destiny to be a multifactorial assembly of Independents, Greens, Teals, a rainbow coalition of the disaffected and disenchanted?

   Or are we fated to be saddled with this rotten duopoly; joined at the hip to the bastard nation America, in hock for billions for nuclear subs that’ll likely never see the light of day or dock in an Australian port, forever marching hi ho hi ho off to war we go, forever demonising China as the big bad bogeyman, forever getting it wrong in all major arenas?

   What’s not to like? Couldn’t be worse than the fakers we have endured for decades.And we are running out of time.
   Personally, I think events are going to decide the next moves, over which we will have no control.

8. Canguro, those are essential questions and an excellent post (long may you live).

   My response to the ‘what if we get another bad government’ is we throw it out too, we keep throwing out bad governments until we get a good government, and then we hang on to it for dear life. Right now, anything other than the Coalition and/or One Nation would be better than Labor; anything.

   It is probably a bad example, I haven’t given much thought to it, but the Italian government comes to mind. It would probably not be a good government in my estimation if I looked into it more deeply, but what has caught my attention is Meloni sometimes goes to do bad things then reverses because of public dissent; that’s sounds far from perfect but a lot better than a Labor government. It may be a positive result of throwing out bad governments all the time.

   Harry, yes, well said, especially ‘we are running out of time.”

9. While we’re on the topic of bad legislation being thrown out.

   “The High Court has struck down a Victorian law favouring major parties, but the bigger test lies ahead – whether federal electoral changes unlawfully entrench incumbency and disadvantage challengers.” (David Soloman, Pearls and Irritations)

   Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaa

   May all of Labor’s chickens grow into emus and kick their dunny door down.

   No doubt stinking Labor will try again. It is to be noted that the court decision threw out all of Labor’s electoral funding law leaving Vic. without any. Vic. Labor immediately gaslit everyone in sight – bunch of dishonest, cheating, corrupt sooks.

10. Thommo

    Don’t forget that it was an LNP government in Queensland that made it illegal to use the words River and Sea in conjunction and even now a demonstrator is before the courts for wearing a T-Shirt with the words From the River to the Sea displayed.

    It’s not just Labor governments and One Nation certainly is not the answer!

11. Ho hum …..City folk upset about two party politics. Come out to the regions were:

    1) there is no public transport, thanks to city politicians cutting passenger services to further subsidise the metro suburban railway network;

    2) poor roads, thanks to inter-city heavy freight vehicles destroying road pavements laid before the 70 tonne monster B-Triples were even pipedreams;

    3) hospitals without doctors rostered on, especially after hours;

    4) schools staffed with overworked teachers expected to correct every social problem encountered by kids, without any proper training;

    5) no job prospects because there are too few thriving industries outside metropolitan cities, and no political plans to decentralise government departments to regional centres.

    So with local NOtionals politicians being exposed as self-serving, alcoholic, philandering, misogynist boy’s clubbers, we have only one option.

    REGIONAL INDEPENDENTS GET THINGS DONE FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES.

    What do ON, Notional$ and LIARBRTAL$ do?? As little as possible.

12. Terry,
    how bad are things when we have to turn to a Queensland LNP government to say: see, its not just Labor?

    I’ll be just as happy if and when the Qld. legislation gets thrown out by the courts as well.
