This protest march around the country is an absolute joke. The whole country has been working towards beating this pandemic - costing the country a fortune - making daily life a misery - only to see thousands shoulder to shoulder around the country today for a cause most folk are struggling to define. Some businesses are still not even open - like gyms. Seriously cannot believe it. A lot of explaining required.

How would you like to be a restaurant , cafe or other type of hospitality owner. Struggling your arse off for 3 months - still operating under severe restrictions - only to see thousands of people ignoring all social distancing requirements.

I have a business that is restricted to a max of 10 people at any one time. Social distancing, tracing logs , consumable hygiene supply - resulting in massive income loss & big cost increases - with the threat of huge fines if we breach. And then we see this ! How should i feel ?

| It’s pretty rare that things on the news get me angry this one does. Bloody idiots marching for their own satisfaction , “ look at me aren’t I sooo woke and progressive” and managing to totally annoy the vast majority of Australians! Most of them don’t even know why theyre protesting! One things for sure indigenous Australians deserve much better than having their cause hijacked by these fools. I think it has to be stressed that the city dwelling idiots DO NOT speak for indigenous Australia. Most of them are at home doing the right thing by their family and health, given the Indigenous are more susceptible than others to this virus. The worst part? Scomo and Gladys will be rubbing their hands together with glee saying “ come in spinner” . This behaviour today will boost their popularity a lot. God the modern left are stupid! |

Morrison said ''it's a free country'' on marches last week. Gladys said this march was fine the other day, her right wing said no it isn't, so off to the Supreme Court at the 11th hour then Appeals Court. marches go ahead right or wrong. Who will they blame if there is a breakout? After Morrison totally screwed up the Job Keeper thing, I thought he was back on track but of late he is showing why he couldn't keep a job in Tourism in 2 countries. Total incompetent. Maybe he will pray for a miracle tomorrow.

If you didn't hate the B's before , most will certainly keep them in mind in the future. . They are more angry that they have to pay rent shortly and the $750 a week gift comes to an end . Police did a wise thing ---- Don't touch them , let the Governments and their Judicial idiots sort them out . 400 deaths in custody in 30 years would only be a fraction of the number of kids raped ,murdered , starved etc . Of Women subject to domestic violence . 400 would be the usual suicide rates. Well over 3000 people die by suicide each year. Aboriginal Medical Services and Aboriginal Legal Services - provide cost-free medical and legal services. The Indigenous Employment Programme - provides flexible financial assistance to help create employment and training opportunities for Indigenous people in the private sector. Approx 40 billion is spent per year on Indigenous people. |

| It's the end result of gutless politicians who won't bite the bullet and lead, "crash, or crash through" as Whitlam called it. Being led by noisy minorities doesn't work. Pretty easy to see where the priorities lie, even public health and the national economy, takes a back seat to pandering to the the mythology of the oppressed black fella, a battle won long ago, time for the hand-wringers to get another hobby-horse. |

| I'll put it even more succinctly, "two wrongs don't make a right", and its about time people woke up to it, what happened today, was a grievous wrong. What is past, is past, and what can be changed, already has been, but if you make a living out of peddling grievance based on historic wrongs, you want to keep it on the boil. I suppose if you're otherwise unemployable, that's understandable. |

| Two politicians, one from the Liberal Democrats, whoever they are, and the other a federal Green senator, no it was not Adam Bandt, but some nondescript member of the Greens, attended the Melbourne BLM rally on Saturday. Both said that there were risks for themselves but thought it was important to attend. If these crackpots felt is was OK for themselves to attend,did they have any thought to others they may infect in they catch the virus.Regardless, they should self isolate for the next 14 days. |
