In short:
The government will introduce laws to restrict protesters in Victoria, following a series of anti-Semitic incidents across the state.
Face coverings, certain flags and attachment devices will be banned at protests. [seemingly including disease-preventing face masks, but it’s left slightly ambiguous]
The government will also introduce legislation which would establish protest-free zones around places of worship.
Dictator-Dan memes aside, I’m not thrilled about the ongoing trend of increasingly harsh protest suppression.
Wow, can’t wait to get arrested for… checks notes… wearing a face mask and being in the “wrong area”.
“Face masks aren’t a free pass to break the law.”
Sorry, I must have missed the memo. Thought I was allowed to do whatever I wanted to /s
Fuck VicPol and our draconian government.
Authoritarian noises intensify
What the fuck does the synagogue arson attack have to do with protests?
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Citizen! Do I detect low cohesion emanating from you?
