Last week, Suella Braverman signed off a ‘statutory instrument’ to edit protest law. It changed the legal definition of ‘serious disruption’ in the Public Order Act 1986 to mean simply ‘more than minor’.

Graham Smith gave a masterclass, against some very legitimate and also some profoundly stupid questioning from MPs. Cool, composed and rational throughout.

So the official line seems to be they were arresting people and confiscating items because they "thought" they were dangerous. Yet if you report stalkers or people who threaten you in any capacity they can't be arrested until AFTER they commit a crime.
Make it make sense!

Welcome to Straya, the lucky, erm no, the stupid, well yes, but now also increasingly, the #fascist country.

This is simply reprehensible. Utterly a graphic manifestation of government capture by the extractive industries, federally, & in [at least] WA, Qld, NSW, Vic, & Tassie. Oh & let's not forget Redneck Central, aka, NT.
First Nations rights & heritage? Nah, forget about 'em.
Pristine old growth forests? Fire up those chainsaws, boys!
Dwindling koala habitats? Chop chop chop, clear-fell away, lads!
Carbon-bomb new coal & gas projects? Let's go; dig, tunnel, bore, frack... burn, baby, burn!
We are a ridiculous species.

The UK has been downgraded in the Civicus Monitor, an annual global index of civic freedoms, as a result of the government’s “increasingly authoritarian” drive to impose restrictive and punitive laws on public protests

Even as our society and nation lurch towards a future in which even the rudimentary semblances of democracy and decency are defied, we are increasingly witness to a shrinking support base of persons who can struggle and assert the need for these indispensable norms.
