'It does happen here'. On average, Six police officers get attacked in NSW every day. Nothing said about that on the ABC or in the Guardian. Where is the support for the police?

The SMH, ABC, Ch9, Greens all doing their best to stir this up into a racial war that isn't there.

This happens here too “I’ll break your fucken jaw” where is that learnt?

Media wil have them at a suitable fever pitch by the weekend.

It does happen and I have seen it. Please support the indigenous community. If you do not, Australia should pay hefty reparations.

They conveniently forget that a Democrat dominated city administration let the 12-times reported, disturbed cop Chauvin loose on the streets.

GDP figures are due out today, but what does it all mean for you?It's not just an abstract idea. What happens with today's figures could directly affect you in a number of ways. “Tough decisions” that need to made will be around cuts to health and education. Every fucking time it’s the first suggestion. How about increasing revenue by taxing corporations and the rich at increased rates? Fucking austerity is what got us here in the first place.
