Berejiklian moves to ban Black Lives Matter protests | Sky News Australia

New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has moved to ban Sydney's Black Lives Matter protest saying she would never "green light" thousands of activists flouting coronavirus restrictions. Ms Berejiklian said she instructed Chief Police Commissioner Mick Fuller to make a submission to the Supreme Court to place an injunction against Black Lives Matter solidarity protests scheduled to go ahead on Saturday.

"The number of protesters far exceeds the health orders and we can't afford to have exceptions for anybody," she said. "If people had been able to express their view in a COVID-safe way, that would have been acceptable but that is not the case." The Premier appealed to NSW residents not to compromise the health of others, urging those who "feel strongly" about an issue to "consider other ways" of expression.

Well SCOMO wants WA and QLD to open our borders.....not on your nelly!

Do the protest in the bunnings carpark.

Also, there's this 👇

GladysB you don't need to go to court. Let it go ahead but only if yousend in the water cannon to wash the filthy Trotskyites off our streets.

Give me a break, you make the laws! Just ban it. Or is it a case of one law for them and another law for the rest of us. Thousands of protesters can gather so why can't I go to the footy? We're all in this together! Yeah right.

Now Dan Andrews needs to step up but he won’t cause he loves the left!!

Just arrest them and find them as you would if it was any other illegal gathering

Well done about time someone stepped up and not let this madness continue! People have missed funerals, businesses have closed down, people committing suicide and these snowflakes think they can have a protest side by side ffs. I also can’t go to the footy so they can get 🖕🏽

The legal basis of the right to protest in NSW is the common law right to peaceful assembly, which can be traced back to the Magna Carta. The right is further protected by the Australian Constitution under the implied freedom of political communication. TRY RESEARCHING YOUR INFO

If Black lives matter, then stay home.

Try not to worry too much Glady, the crowd will probably be wearing their favourite team footy Jersey. That should clean up any covid risk. In the mean time an important concept of life is being supported.

Well, you tell the PM not to bump elbows with people and follow his own idea of social distancing. And BTW he said one and a half metres and 2 metres on the same day.

Good. Common sense but people today don't have any common sense.

Yes , more like an intelligence crisis .

Protesters, please wear face masks! Thank you! Also slap Australian politicians and 'experts' in the face who deny the need of face masks in public places. blacklivesmatteraustralia COVID19Aus

I don’t trust you

Good, glad to hear it.

Not a vey smart decision, you have just established conditions for violence tomorrow.

She forgot one thing, aboriginals are sovereign... the high court can't rule over sovereignty... Unless there is a amendment... the high court's have no say...

So does this mean the schools should *not* have been opened?

.This is BULLSHIT. If schools are safe...protests are safe

.Beyond stupid, un-Democratic and bizarrely confrontational

.Why didn't she apply to ban the anti lockdown, anti vax anti 5G protests They are FAR more dangerous. She is being bullied by the Trump loving fascists in the LNP cabinet

The world is in the midst of a black death culture for the last 400 years or more. Nothing has changed ! But the that doesn’t seem to be as important.

Good call 👍

look mummy, its a racist

She let 'Open the state' protesters rally. She led Ruby Princess in and the leader of her party in the Federal government approved it all and also did this: So she, the police and their lying hypocritical BS can eat shit

No she’s against because she’s copping backlash over it

Corral them all into a 14-day quarantine at Moore Park...

But yet she insists other states open up. Is there a crisis or not ?

Finally she acted after her Police Minister and her Treasurer both said they did not support the decision to allow the demonstrators to proceed

At least Gladys is trying to do something, whereas Chairman Dan does bugger all - in spite of fining citizens for taking an ‘L’ driving lesson or businesses just opening their doors. He declared an extn to his State of Emerg so he has the scope to come down hard but he won’t.

Why does she have to appeal to the High Court? All mass gatherings are banned aren't they?

roberthartleyf1 But, but ..... she wants Queensland to open the border because all’s well .... Covid19 🤷‍♂️

Its in the midst of a virus scam and incompetent leaders

So should we open the borders then? Mixed messages from a selective Premier

Well done gladys the last time I checked we are still social distancing to stop the spread of caronavirus and allowing a protest tomorrow with up to and maybe even more then 10 , 000 people is breaking that while it is for a good cause so is ANZAC day which was also cancelled

And the Ruby Princess was banned from docking oh fmd Bullshitboy ScottyfromMarketing auspol LiarFromTheShire sportsrorts BinBoyMuller Pell AngusTaylor RubyPrincess RubyDutton Watergate Grassgate sportsrorts

is this more of the prime directive? donors before workers? Is Alan Jones or Andrew Blot behind this?

Yet pubs, restaurants and cafés are open with her approval and none of those are a justifiable necessity 🤔

Fascism

So hypocritical of the Liberals wanting the borders open because it's safe but not safe enough for protesters!!! I call bullshit!!!!!

Hypocrite...remember the Ruby Princess? Remember the Hillsong Convention?

VaughanWOz Praying for Australia. Good decision.

'Black Lives Matter' was set up to divide people, when has one of their rallies ended well? All lives matter and all violence must be condemned.

Takes names, don't test for virus, isolate them.

Well done GladysB now AnnastaciaMP take note real leadership.

At last two ladies with common sense.

When they gave approval for the protest to take place did they only expect 10 people to attend? Make up your mind!

Good! No more freebies given to these socialist/greens ANTIFA Thugs. Never give them an inch, as they will drag you for miles. Commonsense can show itself from time to time. AntifaTerrorists

she was ok with anti lockdown protests though? funny how she's against things that dont fit with her agenda.

I detest this abortionist... but at least here she is showing some consistency

She didn’t need a courts permission for the last 2 months. What’s changed? Deflection failed responsibility

She must stop this and unite people as all lives matter. GladysB you will have blood in your hands. Your parent would be ashamed

Another case of let's suppress the black voice . But if the anti vaxers , 5G , conspiracy theory protesters want to be heard we'll invoke their freedom of speech rights .

Better late than never! Then you have to enforce it against those that turn up but won’t happen coz they have snowflake feelings! Empty gesture!

Tough titties...

That is the responsible thing to do. Unlike Chairman Dan's panderings.

.JodiMcKayMP needs to appeal to courts to stop gladysb, dominicperrottet selling off our public transport assets and cashflows, in expectation the market (remember electricity) will invest to make public transport better fit our social needs. auspol

Reminder to just split into multiple groups if numbers exceed 500. Sorry Gladys x

Hope she’ll be going to court to stop the freaks going to the Hillsong gathering next month. She won’t though. The racist underbelly of the Liberal Party is on full display today.

You didn't ask her why she let last weeks 5G rally take place, did you?

Worried about coronavirus, Daniel Andrews urges Victorians to avoid Black Lives Matter rallyVictorian leaders, including Premier Daniel Andrews, are urging people not to attend a Melbourne protest against Aboriginal deaths in custody this weekend, even if they won't be stung with coronavirus fines. People's loved ones have been buried without them in attendance. Mothers have given births without their husbands present. People have gone without vital medical procedures for fear of catching Covid. Millions are out of work. But you can't catch Covid at a protest so thats ok? Would the majority people even know why they are protesting? First I’ve read that it’s protesting against aboriginal deaths in custody. People are afraid of being left out, being judged as to not agreeing, a fear of appearing to be racist if they don’t join the march. FOMO!!

Thousands to flout coronavirus rules to join Black Lives Matter protests | Sky News AustraliaState leaders and health experts are at odds as they prepare for tens of thousands of people to take part in Black Lives Matter protests across the weekend. \n\nNew South Wales Premier Gladys Berrejiklian has given the greenlight to protesters joining the Black Lives Matter movement, despite stark warnings from health officials it could facilitate a second coronavirus wave. \n\nDespite COVID-19 rules limiting public gatherings to just 10 people, tens of thousands of people are expected to flout restrictions and converge on Sydney’s CBD on Saturday. \n\nPremier Berejiklian urged protesters to maintain their distance from one another but infectious disease experts said this would likely be impossible at a rally, and therefore be “absolutely” a health risk. \n\nVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews has encouraged people to remain at home on Saturday, gaining the support of his state’s Chief Health Officer. \n\n“Now is not the time for thousands of people to gather together, putting your and others’ health at risk,” Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said. \n\nWhile urging people to stay home, Premier Andrews said protesters would not be fined for flouting coronavirus restrictions while at the protest as it could only “inflame” the situation. Does the STUPID NSW Govt think the virus wont infect protestors? Gladys OK with Sydney Black Lives Matter protest Saturday If you don’t practise social distancing you can kill people “experts” tell us: WB There'll plenty of dope & Crack for marchers!. Good thing we all stayed isolated for mother’s day two weeks ago!!!!
