Minister says Black Lives Matter protesters 'incredibly selfish'

, defying health warnings to raise the alarm over Aboriginal deaths in custody and over-incarceration one week after African American George Floyd was killed by white police officers in the United States.

"It is quite irresponsible what we have seen here," he said on Sky News on Sunday morning. "I think it is incredibly selfish, it is incredibly self-indulgent. Yes, it does impose unnecessary and unacceptable risk onto the community.

MaxKoslowski Corman in un Australian...

MaxKoslowski Irrelevant flog said what?

MaxKoslowski Hoax on hysteria & hypocrisy. Politics at its best. The models where 99.9% wrong and lockdown of a country should never have happened once the borders were shut. The media and politics should not have blown up Mr Floyd’s death. Go March. Politicians on politics and dumb media.

MaxKoslowski You spelled Mathias Con Man wrong? 😉😉😉

MaxKoslowski Good to see people wearing mask, not like US.

MaxKoslowski 433 Aboriginal deaths in custody. No prosecutions. Blklivesmatter

MaxKoslowski Oh, please. Opening up the country, sending kids back to school, public transportation for workers and school children, NRL and other sports games, and so many other daily contacts are just as dangerous.

MaxKoslowski So does football. So does driving a car. Are car drivers incredibly selfish? By the way smoking is too.

MaxKoslowski Sure, he will say crap like this, BUT WHY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO SLAVISHLY REPORT IT?

MaxKoslowski Cormann lecturing people on public health obligations. Hilarious.

MaxKoslowski Yes, but we've have nothing better to do during Iso except witness & fume at the untenable reality for PoC. Selfish? Naw. That's blaming the victims for the systemic bigotry and violence they suffer which worthless fuckheads confuse with Law&Order.

MaxKoslowski Mathias can’t count to 43......thousands?

MaxKoslowski Which isn't bad. It was always the intent to flatten the curve long enough to build capacity in hospital. The hospital system has tripled capacity to deal with this exact thing

MaxKoslowski I can't breathe should gazump any other issues, death in custody should be a crime.

MaxKoslowski Immigrant and failed Liberal finance minister Mathias Cormann is arrogant enough to believe he has a right to say what peeps from a 65k year old culture are allowed to do on THEIR LAND.

MaxKoslowski How lucky are the LNP? They’ll have these protests to blame for the second wave that’s always been inevitable. Rather than re-opening schools, markets and shopping centres.

MaxKoslowski Media using racism to push a narrative...the elite manipulate the disadvantaged

MaxKoslowski Let him know about the NRL plans please.

MaxKoslowski Certainly didn’t help their cause. All states involved should now delay the lifting of restrictions by a month. Turn the public against the protestors. Reckless abandonment cannot be tolerated.

MaxKoslowski Minister should stick to vibble vobble. Not much use for anything else.

MaxKoslowski This video from 3 years ago sums up the protests

MaxKoslowski He should be more concerned of the police in Sydney brutalising people just trying to make their way home after a peaceful protest... and NOT wearing face masks. We observed more social distancing yesterday than I’ve seen at pubs.

MaxKoslowski Zero cases of new infections as at 8pm Saturday. Let’s see if any new tomorrow but I doubt it.

MaxKoslowski The only good thing to come out of this LNP attitude, is the contortions it will force them into - torn between wanting to trivialise the numbers at the protests, vs wanting to claim the protestors were defying physical distancing in huge numbers + will cause huge Covid clusters

MaxKoslowski The protesters could have easily done a driveway vigil like folks did on ANZAC Day, but they deliberately flouted the safety laws to create confrontation. Zero credibility.

MaxKoslowski Couldn't agree more!

MaxKoslowski And how many people visited (indoor) Westfield Parramatta yesterday. How many wore masks? Did they all social distance? You'd need to analyse the CC TV and count the transactions at each of the shops. Love to compare with the (outdoor) protest...

MaxKoslowski 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

MaxKoslowski I cant understand why we can celebrate the biggest day in Australia ANZAC day standing on our driveways but have to mourn a man's death in the US breaking the law and risking the community protesting on the streets. Just some real dumb fucks out there.

MaxKoslowski Selfish,says the man from the party that if there was any honesty in them,should be called the Selfish party.

MaxKoslowski Lets face it was sheep on the streets. What did the Media do for reconciliation week, last week? Sweet FA. Now they are on the bandwagon, like the protesters cause it sells, get clicks &' I saw it happen in the US'. No George dead in the US, no protest in Australia. FACT

MaxKoslowski All white men who think they lead, too funny.

MaxKoslowski That may be so but Mathias Cormann's policies of austerity have also cost many lives. Hockey's old mate, hiding behind Parliament House, puffing on a fat cigar, celebrating the budget that marked the formal beginning of social apartheid here, sorting us into lifters and leaners.

MaxKoslowski

MaxKoslowski Entirely selfless in my opinion - thousands of virtue-signalers testing the extent of the current local infection rate of the coronavirus

MaxKoslowski So he's saying our legal system is selfish because it was a legal protest granted by our courts.

MaxKoslowski That’s because MathiasCormann is another ignorant lnp money worshipper. He doesn’t give two hoots about INDIGENOUS lives.

MaxKoslowski I call bullshit. The traffic jam from Glenbrook to Wentworth Falls today gives the lie to this. In people's minds, the lockdown is over, it's not just protests. Cormann is full of it.

MaxKoslowski The Libs have been screaming for all restrictions to be lifted, and calling Labor premiers 'dictators' for even hesitating. They also supported other protests during lockdown, no problem. And now suddenly... The hypocrisy is palpable, but the media will never mention it.

MaxKoslowski 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

MaxKoslowski Lets just agree that lives matter. ALL Lives matter Its probably better not to be dead. The end.

MaxKoslowski Well, he can go get Franked. I saw more people per square metre at my local farmers' markets yesterday morning than I did at Town Hall later in the day.

MaxKoslowski But the NRL is ok?

MaxKoslowski Has anyone been to a shopping centre lately

MaxKoslowski Yes

MaxKoslowski Has Senator Corman commented on the deaths in custody? This week in Perth? Ever?

MaxKoslowski It wasn’t right time to protest when government has done remarkably best job in the world to contain and stop the spread of virus.

MaxKoslowski

MaxKoslowski

MaxKoslowski Corman should know all about being selfish as the government his serves under typifies selfishness. They cannot even bring themselves to think of the other, those less fortunate to get the economy going as they continually focus on the already have.

MaxKoslowski He didnt worry about RWNJS protests in last couple of weeks!

MaxKoslowski To be fair, does Mathias even know how many were out protesting? We all know he can't count

MaxKoslowski Well he's a dick. This is an issue that surpasses the potential infection rates.

MaxKoslowski 这应该说是，人们无畏代价的抗议决心。

MaxKoslowski 🙄

MaxKoslowski 100%. Surley they could have organised this for later in the year once our borders were open. Baa..... Baa.....- Sheep following the US. Selfish. We ate going to be in lockdown for longer now. Selfish fxxks.

MaxKoslowski Mathias needs to be thankful he is in Aus and not the Covid situation of his birthplace in Belgium

MaxKoslowski He wouldn't understand that people marched because it is more important to show that racism is no longer allowed to hid or be disguise as law and order. Politicians will get voted out if they stop listening to the people. Australian are awakening to the power of people.

MaxKoslowski very rich coming from Mr selfish himself..... FuckOffMathias

MaxKoslowski The organisers promised social distancing and that everyone would be wearing masks. Neither was the case. They should be charged with reckless endangerment and murder if anyone dies.

MaxKoslowski Very true. Many have cancelled weddings and unable to attend funerals.

MaxKoslowski But it’s okay to return to work, catch public transport and go to restaurants. Or maybe he just doesn’t like protests about black deaths in custody.

MaxKoslowski Well I feel bigmouthiascorman puts his head above the sewage water every now again polysplains & goes down bubble again,, 'con sonar we have a contact in amongst the poo' MathiasCormann

MaxKoslowski He speaks of selfishness The gall of these people is just ...

MaxKoslowski They are angry because of the masks and lockdown! Maybe the experts were wrong!

MaxKoslowski But ScottMorrisonMP said it’s a free country when he was talking about anti -5G protest etc... doublestandards LNPfail

MaxKoslowski Belgian Waffle who supported a motion in the Senate that 'It's OK to Be White' says what?

MaxKoslowski coronavirus pandemic kills 749 people in the US in the past 24 hours, bringing the total in the US to 109,791...
