Should have got the water canons out and just disinfected the whole lot. And used a dart gin with the vaccine. Could have got a whole lot done in the one spot
‘Scary vision’ 🙄 who writes this trash
That guy there has covid.
azahynes With a bit of luck Covid will thin their numbers, it’s called natural selection.
It is hoped that the police must pursue legal responsibility and fines for the 3,500 offenders who violated the blockade order that caused the disturbance today.
only thing shocking is the state of your appalling journalism
Patriots in the US stand with those wanting freedom across AU and the whole world!!! HoldtheLine
'That's unaustralian' was a common saying a year or two ago. Here in Brisbane, there are celebrations going on everywhere with the NRL and Olympic announcement.. I guess NSW is unaustralian 🤔
shocking that there are so many people stupid enough to protest and spread a virus that might kill them.
Won't be able to blame them for the 'covid case jump' that will be manufactured, because they don't get tested. If you're the kind of person who trusts the proven sickos in parliament, then you can't be trusted.
Incompetent prime minister and premiers to be blamed for this… World has moved on and we are yet in lockdown for $500… unrealistic zero covid goal will be an end for so-called experts, premiers and pm… pathetic
Absolutely appalling behavior. I feel really sorry for my friends in Sydney to have cretins like this threatening public safety. The NSW border must remain closed for a fair while yet.
10,000 protest, 10 million stay at home. The stay at homes win this one.
What do they actually want? End lockdown without vaccination has zero track record of economic or medical success. There is no magic alternative.
U n b e l i e v e a b l e ! !
Darwinism in action
All of them should be viewed as NATIONAL HEROS
What is wrong with these people? Actually I think I can answer my own question…lots.
Sheep sheep everywhere.
And these are the people we are supposed to give our vaccines too!!

Happy to support these people’s right to protest…provided they forgo their right to treatment for both themselves and their loved ones that they infect as a result of their participation.
Then they go home and Jack it to pictures like this
The media are pigs in the language they use to portray their fellow citizens.
