New South Wales Police Minister David Elliott says while he personally "can't wait to see a return to our freedoms," Black Lives Matter protests have been deemed illegal for a number of important reasons. "We can't make it any clearer that these public gatherings are illegal," Mr Elliott told Sky News host Chris Kenny. "They're illegal because we cannot control the crowds," he said.
The NSW Court of Appeal today upheld the Supreme Court’s decision to block the protest, meaning those who attend on Tuesday, could face fines and possible arrest. Organisers have told the media they are planning to hold the protest regardless. Mr Elliot also said the protests are illegal "because we cannot identify anybody who would be party to that mass gathering in the event that somebody is subsequently found the be carrying the coronavirus".

I don't blame him. It must be annoying and frustrating having the police put up with idiots that want to make covid hang around as long as possible by ignoring all the health laws.
If BLM in AUS, then why expose BL by attending a march that remains silent on the 100's of indigenous deaths/1000's of indigenous hospitalisations from domestic violence (yearly)? Instead of masking BL deaths in AUS, BLM should focus upon ALL BL not just the ones that suit.
There’s a time and place amd now is not the time
Good for them blm are terrorists rest of the world should do the same
Blm is hate. They show their hate even to their black mamba lovers
What freedoms have we lost, can someone please explain this to me. The issue is will be how this is handled as it goes ahead. Will they follow americas lead with violence coming on both sides, the americanisation of Australia
call in the Military Fcuk BLM!

There is no need for ‘Chinese retaliation’ against Australia | Sky News AustraliaThere is no need for Chinese retaliation against Australia for declaring its actions in the South China Sea unlawful because “we’re simply upholding the international rules-based order,” according to Minister for the Pacific Alex Hawke.\n\nAustralia’s UN envoy Mitch Fifield has filed a declaration at the United Nations rejecting China’s maritime claims around contested islands in the South China Sea.\n\nAustralia is now claiming China’s actions are inconsistent with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, and therefore invalid.\n\nIt comes as China has stepped up its aggression in the disputed waters including sinking a Vietnamese fishing vessel.\n\n“Australia has always been a good international contributor,” Minister Hawke said.\n\n“These are international waters, these don’t belong to any one country.\n\n“It’s not Australia deciding something, it’s the United Nations that has arbitrated on this and made a ruling that is consistent with international law, and the international system has to uphold that law.”\n\nImage: AP\n AlexHawkeMP If no one in this country listens to the ramblings of AlexHawkeMP why would China AlexHawkeMP The problem was that we did too little too late, should have stopped them ages ago instead of the appeazment policy undertaken.
