NSW Shadow Police Minister Walt Secord and Shadow Attorney General Michael Daley have urged Premier Gladys Berejiklian to “throw the book at these idiots” who are planning another protest in Sydney on Saturday.

But after the Berejiklian government announced the lockdowns would be extended for a further four weeks, NSW Police indicated a follow-up protests was being planned. The Labor Party also called for $5,500 fines for “unlawful attendees” - an increase from the current penalty of $1000. Commissioner Fuller described potential protesters as “anarchists” and said they would not respond to court injunctions.

It’s our right to question or lobby any government in power because that’s in our constitutional. If we are prevented from doing that, then we are no longer a democracy.

Jail or vaccination 💁🏻‍♀️

ozhomeschool Remember children switch off those pesky smart devices when you leave the house, make it harder for the authorities to track you 😉

Yeah fines will help... not I hope all of Sydney gets out and protests

Don't bother fining them, straight to jail.

Im the first to say Anarchy can cause change. But bring in the army and shut these FW down.

Funny we didn’t see these harsh words or actions when blm protests were held during lockdown

These people have no money but let's fine them for protesting the fact that they are struggling to make ends meet. Disgusting

Gladys is backed by 👿 doing his work. Good luck everyone 🙏

Fines won't hold up in Court cause the government is acting against the Constitution and the Law.

The fines have no legal basis. Just like a criminal govt usurping its own laws to inflict PharmaFascism on its citizens.

Nazi ideologies creeping into Australian govt.. Lock downs, freedom of speech and movement, possible mandatory vaccination.. Talk or threat of Vaccine passports for Australians workers or travel will see the total death of Democracy!

Only people who stand to profit are the lawyers - it won’t help anyone when the fines are challenged in the courts

They didn’t care when the BLM protests were happening

All talk no action

Well if you're stupid enough to protest like a sheeple then you deserve to be fined

They should get fined.

Real smart no masks a receipt for more transmissions prolonging the lockdown.

This Nobel winner of virology, Luc Montagnier, probably the most published virologists in the world and who discovered HIV, was ridiculed, censored and defamed for trying to warn that breakthrough cases would open up the gates of hell 😳 but were ignored!

If they want australias first civil war..I'll be delighted to be a part of the freedom faction

There's going to be 100,000 protesting this weekend. You can't fine everyone. And the ones that you do fine won't pay it anyway. The tide is turning, people are fed up with lockdowns.

Hecs bill 20k or economic damage caused (hecs sticky debt). Higher of.

Sydney lockdown could wipe out recovery, BCA calls for smarter planThe nation’s biggest business lobby says there needs to be a smarter approach to lockdowns as research warns this year’s economic gains could be wiped out. swrighteconomy May I recommend the go early, go hard, approach, as displayed by Victoria (as done by Victoria TWICE against DeltaVariant , and SA once); the namby pamby half arsed 'please stay home' all shops open, in NSW is responsible for simply maintaining numbers, NOT stopping infection swrighteconomy Fuck the BCAcomau! SYDNEY NEEDS A RING OF STEEL TO PREVENT THE SPREAD TO ALL OF AUSTRALIA AND CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC ECONOMIC DISASTER. swrighteconomy It is a pretty useless, lazy government that needs the BCA to come up with reasonable policies. We pay substantial incomes to ministers so that they can wave their hands at the media for some attention at an illegal protest. Meanwhile the BCA have to do their job for them.

‘Don’t march, don’t protest’: Alan Jones calls for Australians in lockdown to obey the lawWhen you publically encourage and stoke dissent amongst your viewers, and claim a monopoly on the 'truth', you should be prepared to accept responsibility of the consequences. Here is one example of a consequence. corybernardi 'Illegal Protests' or rather the right to exercise free speech - yes, by all means this should be avoided. Perhaps Australians now have a better understanding of why Americans will never forfeit their II Amendment rights.

Big hint Covid fines could increasePolice have warned “boofheads” planning a second Sydney protest that fines are likely to increase as the state government looks to arm authorities with extra powers to enforce Greater Sydney’s new lockdown rules. You can't catch us all, pigs. See you in the streets. Thousands die from smoking and alcohol and driving but govt profits from these so we don't stop these things when people die but we shutdown everything for a virus that's killed less than what smoking will how many people have died from last lot of infections four probably stupid
