abc.net.au/news/police-pelted-with-rocks-bottles-bricks-in-perth-australia-day/101898458Several people were arrested and two officers were injured as police declared two out-of-control gatherings in Perth's city centre overnight.

"Police got additional resources and formed up some lines tactically to separate the persons and execute some arrests," he said.Officers in riot gear formed lines in the city centre to break up the trouble. More than 1,000 people gathered in that same location at Forrest Place hours earlier for the city's Invasion Day rally.A range of people spoke against government interventions and other social justice issues including deaths in custody.Several more arrests were made in the early hours of the morning, after police declared another out-of-control gathering about 1:20am at Moore Street, near the McIver train station in East Perth.

A WA Police spokesperson said bricks and broken pavers were thrown at police as they dispersed the crowd. Two police officers were taken to hospital, one with a shoulder injury and the other with a head injury.

Violent Extremist Greenies at large, BE-WARY

What a glorious day ita

VoteNo to the voice

Will Lidia Thorpe be critised for her inciteful speech in the same way politicians were critised for attending anti lockdown protests? Or is her anti-establishment cause ok?

Unacceptable. Violent outbursts are not the way to effect change, particularly if there is any desire for peace at the end. It is more likely that, emboldened by AimlessAlbo's deceptive push for the voice, they want a revolution. Very unwise when they are outnumbered. VoteNo

'oi oi oi straya day'......'lets attack the cops'......there few things more repulsive that a fucking 'patriot' wrapped in a flag

Well the Greens yesterday declared war, so what do you expect.

LWNJ don't like the police just ask Lidiot Thorpe.

How did he get to be a senior cop. He missed a few clues here. 'Assistant Commissioner Royce said nothing indicated the violence was related to anti-Australia Day anger.' He's afraid to say it. Indigenous protesters pelted police with rocks, bottles and bricks. IFixedIt

Very sad...hope it's not the future

....by the Far-Leftist.

It’s amazing these people who have little or no education aspire to be constitutional lawyers and use big words like sovereignty

So the knuckle draggers of all political persuasions have come of age. Just wonderful.

People are fed up with the BS

Not hard to predict after a few drinks...sorry my bad I thought this was Alice Springs.

So much for Pride In Country, these people are louts and violent hooligans, not true Australians with pride.

Another reason why the voice in parliament and treaties should not go ahead.

Is this the voice of the VOICE? Or just ferrule anarchists?

cops go home

Labor state, Labor values!

The thing is most of these barbarian rioters have no historical literacy at all and are not seriously protesting any real political point. There is a group habitually in the Perth city centre looking to cause savage mayhem and when they get large numbers they do.

Well done we must be the most divided nation next to the USA

They would be 'peaceful protesters' in Iran or in Ukraine back in 2014...

The far left is the new far right

Australia Day has turned into 'Theatre of the Absurd' thanks to our so-called progressive political left...

These aboriginal activists have shown their true colours. Violent and divisive led by the bikes moll in Canberra. I note no criticism of their behaviour by the ABC.

Not a single offender in any picture, proves the ABC's racist agenda. Is Perth the new Alice Springs? Do we have to force AlboMP to fly in for a couple of hours to 'listen' to the people to address this?

Gosh, clearly a voice would have solved this

While not agreeing with violence, Australia day/date as currently positioned, celebrates the violent dispossession of Australias First Nations People’s from their land. Pretending it’s not isn’t helpful 🤷‍♀️

Most of these people don’t even know why Aus Day is on the 26th & the ABC or SBS are not about to tell them. Here is why. It’s the day Aus citizens including Aboriginals were purely Australians on passports & not longer attached to the British

Incited by Lidia Thorpe.. she should be booted from parliament.

So the 'invasion day' movement caused this?

Lefties are prone to violence.

Get Basil onto them he will sort it 🤣🤣

Put these woke hipsters in jail.

and the aussies I know had a bbq, had a few beers and enjoyed the day with mates some people hurled rocks, bottles and bricks which demographic does the abc support sad times where civility is mocked and violent upheaval is validated...

Lol. Not one picture of a protester in the whole article... You know what that means.😆

When the people are pushed to their limits and exhausted all other means to get back their freedom

All the Left have is hate sad

Huh? They do look mad. Anti-Government is growing.

This is the type of people pushing this crap,Do some research.

Australia Day is an ‘important’ day: Hollie HughesLiberal Senator Hollie Hughes says Australia Day is an 'important day' as part of our history and can’t be erased. “We can acknowledge what has happened to First Nations people since the arrival of Arthur Phillip but that did occur on the 26th of January in 1788,' she told Sky News Australia. “This is an important day as part of our history – we can’t erase that, the majority of Australians embrace it and I think will continue to do so.” Why is the day Arthur Phillip 26th of January in 1788, who proclaimed this land New South Wales,s so important? Anything can be stopped and it’s still part of history. So I guess that’s all wrapped up, let’s leave it in history where it belongs No one is saying erase it , just change the date
