I've been out on a few protests before years ago, there's better ways to try get the message across.
My issues are mostly:
- Infringing on rights, freedom of assembly is a cornerstone of our democracy
- Heavy handed approach from Victoria Police
- Picking and choosing who they use these laws against (BLM sanctioned, Anti lockdown is the devil)
- Unelected official with the power to call off parliament from sitting (CHO) undermining our democracy
I'd rather they do social media campaigns, take part in initiatives like David Limbrick's noise campaign and contact their local MP - it's not wise to try fight the state government on its terms given current circumstances though given their penchant for heavy handedness and how they pick and choose who they enforce their powers on the optics are always horrible, the media picks it up, it gets international attention and it brings it to the attention of legal groups and the like.
If you make noise on an electoral level in numbers they'll react, Broadmeadows is a traditional and very strong ALP seat, they can make noise and threaten that.
Most Australians don't participate or take interest in politics - that apathetic attitude are the reason we have B grade politicians who decide to bring out the sledgehammer.
But I still support their right to go on their silly freedom protest/walks regardless of the message.
