  I made a post on Bluesky the day it happened saying they’d almost certainly use this as an excuse to crack down on protest rights. Hate being right about this.

  Australia is also overwhelmingly against affordable housing. Being in the majority doesn’t make it right

    Gun regulations. Not protest regulations. As mind numbingly stupid we are as a nation. I don’t think most people really think the Akram’s were protestors.

    I will ask though where are the unions? You know the reason the Labor party exists in the first place. Surely their rights to protest are sacrosanct . If a Labor government can just opportunistically ban one kind of protest an LNP can easily just ban another.

      A lot of aged Qld ALP members were dismayed when Qld cracked down on protests under the previous state ALP government, saying the legislation nearly exacrly mirrored the Bjelke-Petersen Governments Union anti protest laws. Didn’t help though… (mostly climaye protests becase protesting the destruction of the enviorment and the likely collapse of civilisation is apparently not on)

      I notice the Greens supported the revised gun laws but were against more protest crack downs, so voters do have a choice.

    If we’re not going to listen to what the majority Australians think about gunrcontrol, what’s your alternative?

      Recognise the mass shooting for the tragic but extremely rare occurrence that it is, address the intelligence failures that led to the shooters not being discovered earlier, and leave protestors and lawful gun owners alone
