A refugee protest which threatened to close Brisbane's Story Bridge was cancelled at the last minute by organisers who claim police threatened them with violence and arrest. They are now planning to hold the event next weekend unless urgent court action stops them.

Good! No sympathy for people who talk about “rights”, and then intrude on Others’ rights to move freely across the city. Protest by all means; but do it Covid-Safely in a park.
Did the Police threaten violence or is this just a sensationalised statement that will create further division?
In this pandemic crisis, we must give polices full power to stop any irresponsible behaviour and protesters 👍
Send them all home
Good 👏👏👏
“Violence”! Yeah right!
Metropolitan Police take note how it's done, the next time these far-left fascists want to tear down statues or block the streets with their demos. 😠 metpoliceuk ASPolice .
Good to see the Maggots run away back to the sewers.
😂👍😢😎👌
It's just the usual Marxists using any excuse to agitate and cause social unrest. Like Sydney BLM protest organiser Padraic Gibson. See below Padraic chatting to his Antifa 'comrades' about a refugee protest. They don't care what the cause is.
Police are paid terrorists, they get paid to kill, how is that ok with everyone, they protect the government. Dissolve all governments, ban non-disclosure agreements, those turning a blind eye get some balls and stand up for what's right. Evil happens because people let it.
Get on ya horse protesters. Refugees are being put up in city apartments. Quit whining.
Don’t they know there’s a pandemic on? Bloody idiots. You have a right to protest but you shouldn’t be gathering in large numbers just now, that’s just dumb
Our right to protest is threatened, what next ?
Watch a gonna do?

Pressure on Palaszczuk to stop Qld asylum seeker protest | Sky News AustraliaQueensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is under pressure to launch legal action to stop a planned mass protest in the heart of Brisbane on Saturday.\n\nAt least 3000 people have shown interest in attending a rally on the Story Bridge, protesting the treatment of asylum seekers held in a Kangaroo Point hotel. \n\nMs Palaszczuk on Thursday left her options open on whether to have the courts rule the protest illegal, the same way the NSW Government did against Black Lives Matter rallies in Sydney. \n\nDiscussions were underway with police to consider what action to take to avoid blocking one of Brisbane’s main road arteries.\n\n“Now is not the time to have mass protests,” the Premier said. \n\nShe said the rally had the potential to take Queensland backward in its effort to control the spread of coronavirus.\n\nPolice said any protester trying to shut down the Story Bridge would be arrested.\n\nOpposition leader Deb Frecklington said Ms Palaszczuk had a responsibility to keep Queenslanders safe by preventing the rally.\n\n'Allowing the protest to go ahead on Saturday would be reckless and irresponsible,' the LNP leader said.\n\n“Allowing the mass protest to take place on the same day Annastacia Palaszczuk is shutting the border would be completely hypocritical.' \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n AnnastaciaMP That doesnt fit in with the ALP free for all manifesto. No more Trad to blame and AP is exposed like never before. Good luck Qld AnnastaciaMP Legal action!!!! Call the riot police and lock them all up. It's not a protest. It's social terrorism. AnnastaciaMP Oh FFS. The police can’t even identify who the potential organisers are, how is she going to launch legal action? Deb Frecklington applying pressure is a slap with a wet lettuce.

Nobody has been demoted. It’s extraordinary”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\nAnyone who may be feeling distressed can contact the following organisations for support.\n\nSANE Helpline 1800 18 72 63\n\nLifeline 131 114\n\nBeyond blue 1300 22 4636 what pandemic,,, cant you read or check what a pandemic is?

'Chaotic Trump Presidency' preferable to 'Biden's cognitive deterioration' | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Catherine McGregor says while Trump may be a 'chaotic president', he is at least in some possession of his mental faculties.\n\nHer comment responded to concerns raised about Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s mental fitness in the lead-up to the November United States Presidential election.\n\n“There is manifest deterioration in Biden that I think’s quite worrying,” Ms McGegor told Sky News Chris Kenny.\n\n“Just like we need Victoria to get things right for Australia’s wellbeing, we need the United States to lift its game internationally”.\n\nSpeaking of the 2020 presidential debates Mr Kenny said they would be the “greatest shows since the Romans closed the colosseum”.\n The DNC and their complicit partisan media arm are the ones supplying the chaos. Trump has thwarted every single one of their shit flinging attacks. So now they resort to burning their cities down. The DNC is finished. Trump landslide 2020 when greater than 2016

Current phase of history is a mass ‘political and psychological experiment’ | Sky News AustraliaPsychiatrist Dr Tanveer Ahmed says the phase in history we are going through is essentially a political and psychological experiment.\n\n“We’re living in essentially a big psychological experiment,” Mr Ahmed told Sky News host Gary Hardgrave.\n\n“Not just with our individual levels … we’re also going through an experiment in political authority – our relationship with our politicians, to what extent we can retain a sense of obedience'.\n\nThe world is experiencing a phase in history where the whole focus on “individual gratification” is being tested, he said.\n Magical thinking was the in-thing for thousands of years. The delusions of the present are nothing new. All living is an experiment

Comedian claims 'advertising is evil' while profiting from the industry | Sky News AustraliaHypocritical Australian comedian Shaun Micallef has told ABC viewers advertising is evil while directly profiting from the industry says Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\nMr Micallef stars on the ABC documentary ‘On The Sauce’ which examines the alcohol and drinking culture in Australia.\n\nIn the show he stated “advertising as we know is evil” and admitted to “being very cynical about advertising'.\n\nMr Kenny pointed out “the same Shaun Micallef who tells ABC viewers that advertising is evil and who claims to be cynical about it, lines his pockets by doing advertising for a large insurance company”.\n\n“Talk about cynical, talk about having your anti-commercialism and drinking it too,” he said. What? He is a Muslim? Ilhan Omar says the same crap to America. Unless they have the power and money, it is bad. These free loaders love collecting the Jiziyya (via benefits) from Christian nations, while plotting to destroy you from within. host, Chris Kenny rallies his 7 viewers against anything to do with the public funded ABC without any sense of irony. 'In the show he stated “advertising as we know is evil” and admitted to “being very cynical about advertising'.' You know you are quoting what was said during a comedy that has base of satire? You are taking that quote as a release from a rival auspol 'News' outlet? Wow😐
