Prime Minister Scott Morrison condemns the actions of hundreds of protesters who gathered at the Shrine of Remembrance yesterday as a terrorism expert warns of far-right groups infiltrating the rallies.

Counter-terrorism expert Professor Greg Barton told ABC News Breakfast far-right activists were "directing, planning, [and] egging on the protesters".

"They're trying to bend the curve in their direction. They struggle for relevance so they're trying to get attention because they want people to come and connect with them. They want to recruit. They want to groom and form friendships and slowly grow their groups. Professor Barton said media attention and provoking police into using "heavy-handed measures" would help their cause.

Truely disgusted this is the sort of people in our country, but also the idea of segregation of vaccinated and non vaxed was always a dangerous idea, some of us seen the warning signs before it happened as of now.

So Scott Morrison was only upset by the mob’s protest at the war memorial. The bloke has had nothing to offer before that day. He is utterly useless & couldn’t give a stuff. ScottyFromPhotoOps ScottyDoesNothing auspol

Too little, too late - as always.

Finally Morrison publicly condemns them

How about giving criminal records once convicted instead of fines? So many loopholes & they know it. Melb can exercise 4 hrs, shop for food, attend appointments so wheres the oppression? Padlocks on doors in China is being forced. Even bottle shops are open so cmon see Ur lucky

How about the media doesn’t give them attention. Police don’t waste time with them and watch their protests fizzle out👍🤣. They’re deluded to think they are like us Vets when we followed orders and did what the Govt said not rebelled at what they don’t like. Stain on society!

Aussie protesters copying their American role models….

'Condemned' I thought this was sky news for a second...

so it took them pissing on the shrine for him to condemn them?

High time these protesters showed some respect & pull there heads in

But they're his faithful voters...

Are you accepting this authoritarian regime in using guns and chemicals upon its own citizens?

Private polling suggested Scott needed to condemn someone, so he did.

Hey that fellow from down under. Why don't you go there and force people to shake your hand. That always works.

Isn't that the QAnon sign that guy is displaying?

Good Onya scroto. How far away are you this time?

What utter rubbish, these are his voters.

The irony though, the monument they protested at is a symbol of rights freedom and the people.. and reflection of those who fought for the freedom to march protest and voice those rights.. People are allowing the government to take away what this monument represents🙏🙏🙏

Only unionsaustralia, have potential, to redress housing, ownership, disinterest of todays, advancing rightwing profiteering. T.. A. F. E and affiliates, manufactured paneling.( Not for profit) 3, x Union Tradies, 1 week assembly. On base rates. Cut out, MasterBuilder profits

Thugs and grubs !!!

ScMo is allowed to see his family for Father's Day in Sydney & travels to America. He said there will be no vaccine mandates & is condemning? It's a site for Australians who have made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom, the freedoms Australians are now fighting for!

Why aren't the protesters out protesting against the $13 billion dollars that was handed to the elite (e.g., Louis Vuitton) whilst ordinary people are being sent bills for over payments. Or they could protest against multinationals and corporations not paying any tax?

I'm amazed how many of these non CFMEU members had CFMEU t-shirts and flags

Only condemned by Clotty as the protestors were at The Shrine. He couldn’t have cared less otherwise

He didn't condemn. If he did then release the footage

I notice that various ministers (including Alan Tudge) are frantically removing their Tweets from 2 days ago that wholeheartedly supported the protesters.

Listen to grievances, don't condemn if you have not understood or walked in their shoes ?

Again any condemnation from various LNP politicians is because of where this riot took place, this is hardly a condemnation of the riot per se.

The ‘twilight’ support for the far right political extreme and the micro parties being elected by this cohort has been hidden in plain sight for many years. Thinly vailed acceptance for violent thuggery and bullying is a disgrace.

Different reaction by Acting PM Barnaby Joyce. Victoria is too soft against demonstrators. Joyce is a purple faced blowhard.

Who was consulted in the Commercial Media prior to these demonstrations and who would know?

Top EU leader rebukes Scott Morrison during awkward New York encounterAs more countries openly criticise the new AUKUS defence pact, European Council President Charles Michel reminded the Prime Minister of the need for “transparency and loyalty”. “Transparency and Loyalty”, what’s that? Surely those are weak concepts of foreign countries. Like Parisians. Or French. Don’t fall for it Scotty! Stay true to yourself! Bumble bum Scotty will ignore that and charge on. His main aim is to see his old mentor Trump and kiss Rupert’s ring.
