Last night I drew a map of places of worship in and around Melbourne’s CBD w/ 150m exclusion zones around them. It shows that the new laws will make protests at common gathering places, parks, transport hubs and thoroughfares illegal /🧵

Eighteen people to a cell, people sleeping on concrete floors next to toilets, lights left on 24/7, lack of safe drinking water, people allowed showers only every four days. What kind of country are we becoming? abc.net.au/news/2025-01-3…

An Australian sports journalist was just fired for retweeting factual information about Israel's genocidal atrocities in Gaza. He was told it was because the sound of his voice was now making Jews in Melbourne "feel unsafe". I am not joking. This actually happened.

Over the last few years, we have witnessed the expansion of police powers and the encroachment on our rights to peaceful protest, with no corresponding measures to monitor or hold police to account when things go wrong. rightnow.org.au/opinion/ever-i… via Right Now Magazine

This has to be the final straw. Julie Tongs has been calling for an inquiry into AMC for a long time & I support her calls. Needs to look into AMC + why First Nations Canberrans are 21X more likely to be incarcerated. ACT gov can't keep ignoring this. nit.com.au/18-02-2025/163…

This morning, I received a vile, hate-filled email—disgusting beyond words. The level of racism and bigotry in it is absolutely horrifying. I have the origin IP address and apparent details of the perpetrators. @victoriapolice , will you take action against this blatant

This is one of the most extreme cases of racial profiling by Victoria Police I have seen. Hash Tayeh is simultaneously a victim of under-policing and over-policing (singled out for engaging in constitutionally protected political speech). theage.com.au/politics/victo…

1. Disarm the police - police in the UK don't routinely carry guns. 2. We need an Independent Investigation. The police chief has already said the police were justified. 3. We need housing and community health metal health not police. …ribyrnonghobsonsbay.starweekly.com.au/news/police-sh…
