Upper house MP Catherine Cumming did not commit offence during speech about state’s premier

Victoria police has cleared upper house MP Catherine Cumming of inciteful behaviour over comments she made about Daniel Andrews.Victoria police has cleared upper house MP Catherine Cumming of inciteful behaviour over comments she made about Daniel Andrews.

“I joined the Angry Victorian party for one reason – to make Daniel Andrews turn into red mist,” she told the crowd.“In the army, we would call it pink mist, but I want him into red mist. Give anyone here in the army a job to blow someone up, and they will.” Pink mist is a military term used to describe the blood that comes out of a sniper’s target when they are hit. Cumming was a member of the Australian Army Reserve for 10 years, serving as a medic.

The liberals are simply not fit and proper people.

God bless her 💜🙏

She displays the attributes of most Australian politicians - full of manure & not worth the money or media coverage they receive - politicians at all levels in Australia are dross!

Did they learn nothing from the Capitol Insurrection in America two years ago?

What an absolute disgrace. There is no ambiguity in what she said. She was supporting murder

Just wow! Where are we headed.

Police response is as piss weak as her excuses.

yeah the boys

Cool precedent. Did they believe her excuse or just don’t care?

Not quite 'incitement.' She never actually encouraged or urged anyone to 'do' anything.

Protected species.

Prepare for a flood of violent hate speech from now on I guess, smh.

How is this possible? She was clearly inciting violence against Dan!

Victory for common sense... it was clearly figurative, except to those who saw an opportunity for political mileage.

Wut

That’s ridiculous, it’s hate speech

What's wrong with the police ffs? She could not have spoken more clearly. It was definitely inciting violence

Dan won’t be happy 🤣🤣🤣

They cleared her of AN OFFENCE - she still made the comment!!!!

Seems totally cool. Open slather to incite violence then, is it?

Dangerous precedent VictoriaPolice

Unbelievable

The police may have cleared her but the public who heard her comments know exactly what she meant and their thoughts on the matter will be in the ballot box.

Not fucking weird at all.

Of course they did. Labor we're trying it on as they always do.

No charges over MP's call for Daniel Andrews to become 'red mist'Police say no charges will be laid, after investigating comments from independent MP Catherine Cumming, who told a Melbourne rally Premier Daniel Andrews should be turned into 'red mist'. So we have no laws for this? Politicians are all free to encourage each other to be assassinated are they? did the police arrest Paul Keating when he called for 'a stake to be driven into Peter Dutton's chest'? same thing... That is appalling, I guess it really does make a difference who is calling for an assassination. White Australian females exempt from prosecution .. ok
