Wearing the forbidden words is terrorism

Oh, did some poor Zionist genocide supporters get their fee fees hurt?

The anti-protest laws give the state police commissioner power to issue a “public assembly restriction declaration” after a suspected terrorist incident has been declared. It can prevent protests and marches from being “authorised” by police or the courts, which can result in prosecution for protesters who obstruct people or traffic in a public place if their protest has not been formally authorised.

I’m not australian so i fail to understand why you guys would vote for that. Suspension of protesting rights should never be ok. If you suspend the right to protest it often leads to violence since people can’t unleash that energy through protesting.

What utopian country are you from that you can vote for individual laws?

We don't get to vote on each individual policy. There are a few options for representatives and you have to choose between them. You pick the one that you mostly agree with (or disagree with the least)

the intifada was globalised in Bondi

How come the warriors against Zionism never choose to attack military, police or state infrastructure, only women and children?

Islamic State are anti-Palestine. In fact, the Wikipedia page on IS lists and explains why they're an active opponent of Palestine and its political parties. Those nutjobs clearly had nothing to do with the pro-Palestine resistance.

This is, frankly, an odd thing to say. Anti-Zionists in Palestine and other countries are literally attacking the IDF military, even protesters here in Australia have targeted weapons production for years - that's where Hannah Thomas received an eye injury by police.

I don't know what social circles you're in, but they're clearly not showing the full picture if you honestly think anti-Zionists haven't been focusing on military infra and police defending it.
