SA Police will not provide an exemption for crowds to attend a second Black Lives Matter protest in Adelaide, despite relaxing coronavirus restrictions for a crowd of more than 2,000 people to attend the AFL on Saturday night.

described the protest as a "one-off", warning protesters there would be no exemptions allowed in the event another rally is organised.

"I think in this current context and acknowledging the sentiments of the community, to continually allow people to disregard the restrictions we have in place would make a mockery of everybody else who is doing their best to abide by the restrictions."Premier Steven Marshall said Adelaide would be the first place in the country with a significant crowd at an AFL match.About 500 people will be allowed at SANFL matches when the season resumes.

Seriously, the ABC like to think they are the pinnacle of Australian journalism, but the stark reality is they are just as trashy as the corporates. I’d be ashamed.

Honestly Adelaide Oval is a waste space so evenna crowd of 10k could be managed. Only problem is crowd coming in or out and well done on not allowing something that really has nothing to do with us

Nobody is thinking of the poor media outlets that make money off of football. Thats why we got the push for sports to return the whole time.

AFL will be in a controlled & respectful environment. Not thousands of numpties protesting something that isn't true in Australia.

Mate, the whole restrictions debacle has been a charade from the beginning. Only now are people realising how little a difference it makes. I'm still gobsmacked that the public doesn't hold mass rallies against restrictions as well as BLM.

Go figure no logic at ALL

And that sums up the problem of institution racism in Australia.

Thanks media. You fvcked it up for everyone. This should keep you up at night.

In the words of the PM ‘how goods the footy’ but just stay home if it’s not footy. Or cricket. Or to protest corona restrictions because we want an excuse to lift them. But not call parliament back early, because we like being dictators...

Will the police be using pepper spray?

We all know that football is beyond reproach. Anything to do with football has their own rules.

Good.

Beautiful, the shoe is on the other foot..... complaining are we ABCNews

OMG THE HYPOCRISY! 🤣

For the love of humanity, ABC, PLEASE STOP INCITING AND CHEERING ON UNREST! Do you have any idea what you are doing?

This country's priorities are fucked in the head.

Do we really need a second protest 🙄

Ignore them and have the protest anyway

Good.

Weird about all the people mad at others protesting racism.

Omg, you mean other people are allowed to do things and not just the nutty protesters?

Why not both? Protest at the footy!

eat shit

How many protests do they want? As many as it takes to get the rioting, burning and looting going....

Not surprised. Australians have always valued their sports more then their indigenous people. Unless they are good at sports.

Yep, football will be controlled environment & the protest won’t be ...

Usual hypocrisy from the ABC.

How many protests did they want? Are we not in a China virus lockdown?

Technically, the first protest was not allowed either.

. IN MEMORY OF GEORGE FLOYD AND THE MANY LIVES LOST (NOT) IN VAIN! Btw, I just designed this & wondered anyone's VERBAL opinion with the REPLY BUTTON rather just a heart if you're down. Appreciate it, people. Stay safe!

Will a coronavirus outbreak come out of the Australian Black Lives Matter protests?Tens of thousands of people marched around the country over the weekend against the advice of medical experts, so what does this mean for Australia's COVID-19 case count? Will a coronavirus outbreak occur because of the lack of physical distancing in schools, shopping centres and friends gathering at people’s homes? auspol australia your racism is showing. They really need to fact check themselves. If it does there's a good chance it will come about as a result of police not wearing masks.
