Black Lives Matter protesters are expected to flood the streets of Australia’s states and territories on Saturday – despite opposition from health authorities and governments concerned about the spread of COVID-19.

In NSW, the Supreme Court has ruled a march through the streets in Sydney is unlawful. Organisers told the court it's likely more than 10,000 people will still attend but will have to protest on the footpaths if roads are not blocked, adding that would pose more of a risk of transmission.

In Victoria, Premier Daniel Andrews has advised people to stay away, and the state’s police have warned organisers could be fined if the protest breaches coronavirus restrictions. An exemption has been granted for demonstrations in South Australia where there are no active cases. In Western Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania, health officials say protests can go ahead but social distancing requirements must be maintained.

AmanKeir There was N E V E R a dangerous Virus. Stop spreading this BS. Nobody , apart from the unwoke, gives a damn about this HOAX PLANdemic. If Antifa runs through the cities, .. I wished I would be able to participate, to take them out. I am allergic to Nazis !

Got to get out there and show solidarity for a great american hero who once held a pregnant women at gunpoint to her stomach. Ohh and get some sweet social media photos

Stuff the protest we are going camping, shooting, fishing and 4x4 around the lake's 😉 so have fun MUPPETS achieving nothing 😂 Long weekend here we come 🍻🇦🇺

Trash the joint.. The lefties dream...

I couldnt go to church on Good Friday. I couldnt see family on Easter Sunday. I couldnt attend an Anzac Day service. I couldnt see my mum on Mothers day. I couldnt attend my uncles funeral. I couldn't meet to comfort my friends who lost their jobs. But protests are allowed?

BlackLivesMatter and antifa (who’ll be there too) are socialist anarchist organisations. They don’t give a damn about anything but their hard left political agenda. Sadly, some stupidly credulous and ignorant Australians will be attracted to the cause.

But no footy crowds. Sports fans would get locked up or fined.

Sky News appears to support restrictions on BlackLivesMatter protests but you put Chris Kenny on saying restrictions are too much. Which is it? Or are you just continuing to promote racism?

It’s AllLivesMatter

We have been in lock down for months to protect the elderly and the aboriginal community and this is how that repay us. They are causing the division.

So covid is no longer as issue, whew, that's a relief. As much as I hope then this is peaceful, I guess it won't be. So I wonder who will be blamed for the violence? It will be clear cut - depending on which side you're on.

Clearly Australians don't have lives. Bush fires have decimated our country and Covid-19 virus has decimated our economy, now we have to deal with a bunch of self righteous asshats who are mostly getting a handout from government taking up valuable resources. Pissed...

If you're a talented social justice swinger there are full time roles coming up for easily triggerable ,Trump hating surface skating , truth negating protesters . Roles will vary between Extinction Rebellion , Black Lives Matters and Antifa . Apply at Open Society Foundation . GS

Adelaide police are ok with it

From that point it must be open slather to businesses and borders. Any consequences must simply be accepted with blame going to the organising leftist cults.

Stay away from those chanting they can't breath. They might have the CCP Virus.

So black lives matter but the elderly don't now?

Where was your concern when the Anti lockdown, conspiracy theory whack jobs were protesting?

Let them come and bash the shit out of them with rubber bullets

Looks like Morrison used a 'full court press' on weak .gladysB to save face with US co-religionists rather than address Australia's problems, again. auspol MarriedAtFirstSight MasterChef houserules ausdef abcnews

So you don't want to sacrifice the elderly to save the economy now? So confusing.

Because SKY are worried about health concerns 😂

Were there any community transmission cases confirmed when the 5G and anti vaxxers were out protesting a few weeks back? I don’t recall the same outrage over those protests. This one is actually worth the airtime.

NOW!! They're worried about Covid .. Not so much when HILLSONG rocked up. HypocricyWritLarge WeekendEdition WeekendAgenda BreakfastNews sun7 9today Insiders

Onus-Williams said “F**k Australia, hope it burns to the ground” during an “Invasion Day” protest in 2018. Shes a joke, I have no respect for you or anyone who listens to what you have to say.

Governments concerns over COVID...bullshit!

Give the police a day off.

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!!!!

Berejiklian moves to ban Black Lives Matter protests | Sky News AustraliaNew 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.\n\nMs 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.\n\n'The number of protesters far exceeds the health orders and we can't afford to have exceptions for anybody,' she said.\n\n'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.'\n\nThe 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.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n You didn't ask her why she let last weeks 5G rally take place, did you? 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. Reminder to just split into multiple groups if numbers exceed 500. Sorry Gladys x
