An Aboriginal man performs a smoking ceremony as protesters gather in Sydney, Saturday, June 6, 2020, to support the movement of U.S. protests over the death of George Floyd. Black Lives Matter protests across Australia proceeded mostly peacefully as thousands of demonstrators in state capitals honored the memory of Floyd and protested the deaths of indigenous Australians in custody.

In addition to Australia, protests were held in other countries as well on Saturday, including South Korea and Japan. Bob Jones, 75, said it was worth the risk to rally for change despite the state’s chief health officer saying the event could help spread the coronavirus. In Brisbane, the Queensland state capital, organizers said about 30,000 people gathered, forcing police to shut down some major downtown streets. The protesters marched from King George Square, across the river to South Brisbane, where they demanded to have Australia’s Indigenous flag raised at the police station.“Whether you’re talking about the U.S. or right here in Australia, black lives matter,” she said. “Black lives matter today. Black lives matter every day.

Disgrace. Everyone should be held accountable if there is a new carona virus outbreak!

Fake news

Trump criticizes Colin Kaepernick for wanting to kneel as a black man.During the hymn,he knelt to protest racism.If you knelt down with him, this murder would not have happened!They saw a black uprising that had to be killed!Not in His clean White homophobic world!

Yet Fake News, Racist Democrat Party, BLM & ANTIFA perpetuates Racism in order to survive. Watch as the one of BLM punched an Elderly Black Man into an unconscious state for supporting President Trump. I guess this man's life didn't matter. Where's BLM?

Now wtf do they have 2 do with what's going on here. Ppl just want 2 jump on the bandwagon. Stay in your own country

How many of the protesters are above the age of 25? 1%? 2?

Mostly peaceful? We know what that means now.....

Any of those Australians get to cast a vote here on November 3, 2020 ?

George Floyd riots and looting videos

Focusing on color and labeling people with letters, like BLTGQ promotes segregation. We are all humans. Floyd incident was stupidity, not racism. Protest stupidity.

They know nothing about Mr. Floyd. Just a reason to try to feel meaningful in their desolate lives.

One of these days march because venezuelanlivesmatter but you just dont give a fuck. This one dooes not have punch

BlackLivesMatter. Whatever the particulars, there remains a universal undercurrent of elitism and superiority in most cultures, whether by birth or accomplishment - usually upheld by the contrived fact that accomplishment can be seen to broadly correlate with birth. Equality

George Floyd had an extensive criminal past and served prison sentences multiple times... once for an armed home invasion of a black pregnant woman... facts

America matters more

I think we all know people are being manipulated.

Why don't all lives matter? What a shame

Mostly?

Kudos for Australians for supporting the cause of oppressed particularly victims of Racism in 21st century world termed as a global village and in a country with tall claims of Human Rights and Democracy

Meanwhile black lives continue to not matter in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, DC....

Other countries allowed the demonstrations. while US of Trump oppresses it! Australia Europe

13 days since the 1st one, and not a single hospital overrun by covid. The Covid hoax is OVER. Defend the police? The 2Amendment fight is OVER! Dem citys in the crapper? Dem power is OVER. GOD BLESS AMERICA WWG1WGA SaturdayMotivation WWG1WGAWORLDWIDE GreatAwakening FoxNews

Thank you for your support Australia. We support you in protesting your injustices as well. It's time for the planet to evolve into a better place an equal place for all

It's either peaceful or violent. Make up your mind, if you have one.

Why are they protesting?

Does Australia have a major election soon also? That's the only reason for BLM action. Check the history of their digital foot print and media coverage. 2016, 2020....wow.

Australia another country where White people rule over Brown Natives!!!

They are part of the American empire too now

Did you know.... Australia used to be a prison colony for England ? I sure did.
