Anyone organising or planning to attend a second COVID lockdown protest in Sydney have been warned "you will be arrested".NSW Police said it had no legal recourse to prevent a second anti-lockdown demonstrationMore fines and charges are expected as police continue to examine evidence and trawl through tip-offs
NSW Police said there were still murmurs about a second protest planned for this Saturday despite social media pages and accounts which facilitated the weekend protests being shut down. "There are no organisers that we can take to the Supreme Court to stop the protests happening, which means they're bunch of anarchists," he said.More than 57 people were arrested at the weekend over the anti-lockdown demonstrations.
Central Sydney was shut down for several hours on Saturday as thousands of protesters breached COVID-19 restrictions to march, sparking brawls and several arrests.People in Greater Sydney and its surrounds have been living in lockdown for over four weeks, as an outbreak of the Delta coronavirus variant continues to spread.
Screw fining them… jail or vaccination 💁🏻♀️
Why are people who are against the lock down so desperate to be locked up?
these guys are silly, all they need to do is declare it a black lives matter protest and the ABC will applaud thier bravery
How about arresting the people organising this. The easily fooled and led participants are a result of our education system.
Selfish no mask wearing “anti this anti that” protesters. Shame! Shame! On you all.
Let's just call it a police training exercise. Hopefully the riot squad shows up too.
Like none of them have been doing it tough for the last 18 months. Anarchist my A.
I hope they get arrested. You might not like this situation but you are prolonging it potentially by taking part and so will be responsible for it😂.
Anarchist ? Or freedom of expression ? 1984 in action , thanks Berajiklian
Protesting isn't illegal in Australia. Keep it up.
They don't seem to be anarchists instead they seem more obvious rightwing anti vax anti lockdown
I don’t fully agree with how the government treat these protectors. Some empathy needed to be shown here. Not everyone handling their lockdowns well.
They should all be deported In other news, I’m organising another BLM rally everyone because we totes have to end racism Some of the police might even kneel with us in solidarity Good times ✊🏾

Good and keep them in jail!!!
Probably should forbid people to have sex too; HIV is far more dangerous than covid , smoking probably kills more people than covid in Australia as well , the vaccine is there , life must go back to the normal
10,000 dirty dobbin' dogs
Bring 21 division back !!!
Now imagine everyone of them are homeless or non white when you prosecute them.
people be confident in joining these protests but are not confident to list their names down as attendees.
Libertarians. Call them what they are. Anarchists have clearly defined beliefs.
Likely courts will be clogged for years, particularly given ongoing lockdown restrictions
They're not anarchists
Folks anarchists is in 'quotes' so it's someone else's term not the ABC. But anarchy is rejection of rules and laws of government or authority. These protesters are definitely anarchists they do not follow the government rules like stay within 5km of your house, in small groups
Protesters have been on the radio saying they want their rights and voices heard, and being locked down is not okay: but they don't have a better idea than managed lockdowns to stop us having an explosion of cases and deaths. Clearly illogical and uncaring.
Is ASIO and DFAT counter misinformation/disinfection team help at all?
Water. Cannon.
Anarchists’ lol so dramatic.
anarchists should demand an apology
Get tough! ‘Run the bastards over’ 😷🦠✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Start arresting the media muoooets driving it - Sky noise for a start then the cock jocks
Good
They should be threatened with arrest & to be refused hospital treatment for Covid should they catch it at the protest
Net them like animals and throw them in gaol for a month under quarantine, you will find these types cause misery in society wherever they go in one way or another
Can't arrest your way out of this any more than you could the BLM protests the courts tried to stop. Tell them to protest but wear masks
Punish organisers please - not the general public
Would like a fake check on that 'anarchists' claim 🧐
Let em all catch the delta . Then we can watch em choke and gasp for air on Zoom or another social media platform. Chokestergram.
'What we saw today was 3,500 very selfish boofheads' NSW Police Minister David Elliott said on Saturday. omg haven't heard the word boofhead in aaages 😂😂😂😍
Is abc intentionally misinforming. These guys are not what someone refers as Anarchists.
What’s the point of the army sitting on the side line if these mongrels want to cause unrest, send them a message😎
Maybe the protesters were emboldened by the fact that last years protests ( remember them ) drew very little criticism from anyone in authority. Seems a bit hypocritical now to demonise these protesters.
🧠 That’s exactly what they want us all to talk about. These are your enemies, hate on your fellow citizens. Not the government who failed to deliver, not the corrupt deals, not the absence of meaningful educational campaigns, just these ones! The 500 idi0ts are to blame! 🤦🏻♂️
Can someone explain to me how it was encouraged for BLM to gather and march but not these people? All i see is hypocrisy from ABC, every time I look.
lionheartleojai Don’t just arrest INCARCERATE
What's 'he' being arrested for and not 1000 others? Reality is he'll be charged with hinder police, resist arrest, fail to give name, or disobey traffic order or other purile nonsense unrelated to masks. Take pictures and send them fines in the mail without all the theatrics.
Divide & Conquer! We have been divided. And it would seem we are oblivious to what is coming next. Of course people who believe in overpopulation would want to save ALL 8 billion of us! 🤔
Get the water cannons ready
They are clearly not anarchists.
oh wow big threat there they pay the fines from free scotty money how about 3yr mandotry jail terms with no bail and see how many turn up thats what happens on quite a few countries these days they treat it as attempted murder auspol
They should just send choppers down with 'firefighting' bags filled with permanent blue dye... And then tell them all it's a vaccine.
So they call themselves libertarians and they are anti-antifa . That's the right. Anarchists left of the left and are Antifa. You know this. Why the word scramble? Like in Capitol you wanna blame BLM on this shit? ThisisNotJournalism
What an idiot 🤣
It’s a BLM protest. Cops should be there with drinks & sausages for the people 👍🏻
Bring back the big black mariahs. Lock all the bastards up.
They aren’t anarchists, just RWNJ.
Blame these selfish people, break regulations of lockdown will destroy Australia. We also need rethink the before policy: support Hong Kong, Uighur “human rights freedom fighters”: they also destroyed ruined Hong Kong and Uighur. Never use double standards. It’s dirty disgusting
While all the cops are at the protest to arrest thousands of people would be prime time to commit crimes elsewhere
What's the next step...you will be deported?
Anarchists?.......these are fascists Freedumb fighters
And what of their supporters and agitators in the media?
