Governments in Australia are denying the democratic right to protest. Labor leads suppression of Australian right to protest. Witness the violence of NSW police, as they punched the shit out of protesters in the Sydney CBD. The crowd was protesting the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog and was unable to follow the traditional route to Macquarie Street following a court order. Quite understandably, many Australians are unhappy about the genocide committed in Gaza by the IDF. What is disappointing is the erosion of the democratic right to protest by citizens downunder. Governments are all about control and surveillance in 2026.
Sadistic & Violent Police Beat Up On Protesters
Police beating the crap out of protesters captured on video tells the real story. There are violent police officers parading their sadistic tendencies on display at this protest against the visit of Israeli President Herzog. In an interview with a NSW police spokesman I was surprised at the low level of education demonstrated by this police officer. His mispronunciations and misuse of the English language had me worried. Where do they find these guys? Thugs in the style of those ICE agents in America beating up on brown skinned folk over there. We are obviously not attracting the best of the best to the NSW police service. Labor leads suppression of Australian right to protest.
Palantir In Australia Surveilling You & Me
“Companies and government departments, including Coles, RioTinto, Westpac, the Victorian Department of Justice and Department of Defence have chosen to work with Palantir. This is a worrying trend. At present, there is no public reassurance that Palantir’s privacy-invading systems are not being used here in Australia. This is particularly worrying given the gaps in our current privacy protections.
Palantir’s approach to privacy and transparency is broadly terrible. The company specialises in creating detailed profiles of people by combining large databases about us. They then provide surveillance capability to their customers, including the Israeli Defence Forces and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Amnesty International has reported that, with these programmes, Palantir is facilitating human rights abuse. Australians demand our government respects all human rights, but since 2014 Palantir has charged the Australian government over 37 million dollars. This is intolerable.”

Big Tech Spying On Communities For Authoritarian Governments
Big Tech is no longer the good guy, if it ever really was. Now, it is all about digital surveillance and controlling the population. Palantir is probably the worst of the worst, when it comes to tech designed to spy on us. These guys are fuelling ICE in America with the capability to surveil US citizens and denizens in real time. Corporations and government agencies in Australia and around the globe are ramping up their abilities to peer into your private life. Technology is not just a cool phone but a weapon against our right to privacy. In the hands of dictators and despots like Netanyahu and Trump the outcome for private citizens is bad. Labor leads suppression of Australian right to protest.
Protests Are Important For Democracy
Protests against social injustice and war crimes are necessary ways for democracies to make their feelings known to those in power. The Bondi massacre was not a result of the protest movement for Palestinian freedom. In fact, it is the suppression of such demonstrations which fuel such heinous actions as the Bondi shooting. The Labor governments of Minns and Albanese are disappointing on this count. Kowtowing to Zionist pressure and foreign influence will not heal the fissures within our communities. NSW police beating the shit out of protesters will do little for social cohesion either. Too often today, governments want to control us through things like technology. The role of governing is not about making things easier and more convenient for those doing the governing. Misters Albanese and Minns would do well to remember that.
Why The Right To Protest Is Important
“Right wing racists use tragedies like the Bondi Beach shooting to amplify their hateful messages. Stupid people like Pauline Hanson lump all individuals from a particular part of the world together in their condemnation of the perpetrators of these tragic shootings. They call for a ban on all immigration from places like Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Palestine because of the actions of a single father and son. To give you a comparison, Rob Reiner and his wife have just been murdered allegedly by their son, should people stop having children on this basis because of the potential danger? Both suggestions are inane and ridiculous.”
