The information war goes on
This is just another public service announcement so nobody misses out on finding out just how far the media will prostitute themselves to trick the voters.
Two policemen were put in hospital at the March for Australia rally, but it was by rabid left leaning protestors throwing rocks, and bottles filled with broken glass. Despite that, the ABC didn’t even think it was worth mentioning at all and SBS used the violence to suggestively imply that both sides of the anti-mass-immigration protest were badly behaved.
The ABC said not one word about mass protests in every capital city, but they had time to tell Australians about anti-Trump No Kings March on the other side of the world and a tour of Japanese lamb-chop chefs. Even bunkers in Finland were more important. Priorities mate…
If a dozen people had turned up to protest climate change, they would have been on the news.
Victorian Police were understandably fed up. Commander Wayne Cheeseman was blunt — the violence was all from the left and the March for Australia crowd were peaceful and well behaved.
His words, from The Australian:
Bottles filled with shards of glass were being thrown at police. Rotten fruit, bins and flags were set on fire. People came to pick a fight with police.
“The people that came to pick the fight with police were the issue-motivated groups on the left,” he said.
“The March for Australia group – they were peaceful, engaging and followed instructions. The others came with masks, hoodies and umbrellas, throwing rocks and hiding behind barriers. They came to harm our members, and it’s got to stop.”
— by Mohammed Alfares, Joanna Panagopolos, and Mackenzie Scott at The Australian:
…
It was like a parallel universe on SBS
The Blob is very afraid these protests against mass immigration will grow.
The point of news stories like this one below, by the publicly funded SBS is to scare middle Australia away from attending these rallies. The last thing the Blob wants is for people to bring out their kids to wave the Australian flag? Oh No! That’s the wrong kind of pride…
SBS has a long write up of the protests but does not use the word “left” even when quoting the Police Commander. Should we call that misinformation, or malinformation?
Just ask, would SBS staff get bigger salaries if the message in the protests spread and Australians voted in a cost cutting government?!
The violence becomes the story, like a smoke flare, to hide the real topic — look a squirrel!
The violent lefties provide the performance the Blob-Media needs to tar, feather and confuse ordinary Australians. But equally as important, the violence itself fills the news cycles like a smoke bomb, hiding the real topic. Most Australians won’t go to bed tonight thinking about a pithy comment made by a speaker at a rally, because they didn’t hear the speakers. The whole topic was reduced to barely one word, anti-immigration.
If we had an honest media, people would be talking about this protest at the watercoolers tomorrow…
The next big protest rally will be Australia Day January 2026. Get ready. Spread the word.
_______________________________________
UPDATE: Reports from commenters who were there at the Melbourne rally include a report that an ebike was deliberately ridden into the crowd injuring an older lady.
I arrived home a short time ago from the March for Australia protest in Melbourne. Some of this blog’s readers may have already seen the coverage in mainstream media. The Age reported hearing racist slogans- I didn’t hear any personally. They said the two protest groups converged- this isn’t true, the March For Aus group had organised to meet on the steps of parliament, the counter protesters approached and attempted to engage MFA protesters who were behaving in a civil manner. The counter protesters then attacked police, throwing rocks and other projectiles. The Age also failed to report that they were chanting F you nazi scum. One unhinged woman was screaming on a megaphone, constantly using expletives (I pity any parents with children in the area). They were trying to drown out MFA speakers.
I saw 2 men dressed in the all black and cap attire typical of NSN members, however The Age has emphasised their presence.
As the MFA group later marched down Russell street, a counter protester deliberately rode an e-bike into their midst. An elderly woman was injured, she was on the ground being attended to by friends with the e-bike lying next to her as l arrived. The assailant was being pinned down by police and cuffed screaming and resisting on the street corner (Flinders Lane). See if that gets reported by MSM.
These radical Leftists are feral and dangerous. They call other people fascists, not realising that a principle characteristic of that doctrine is denial of free speech- which is what they were attempting to do today with the MFA rally. They will not allow other groups to peacefully gather to promote alternative points of view.
I wish to thank Vic Police for their actions today and I’m sorry that some of their members were injured. I’m sure most of them don’t have a problem with the MFA protesters. I don’t think they’ll have the same attitude toward the Lunatic Left.
I attended the Melbourne protest today.
The March for Australia rally was peaceful and patriotic with many many Australian flags, blue and red ensigns and a smattering of Eureka flags, boxing kangaroos flags etc. I estimated about 1200. Vic police said 800-1000.
There were a large number of police, perhaps 350, including the horse division and riots squads.
There was a very noisy and somewhat violent counter protest which formed nearby at the north end of Spring St. The police surrounded our protest with a protective line bc and formed a barrier between the two groups. The counter protesters tried to force the police lines and were repelled by flashbangs and tear gas . They threw rocks and bottles at the police causing several police injuries.
We listened to speeches about the problems being caused by current high levels of immigration, including ethnic enclaves, crime, sexual violence against women, high housing prices and suppression of wages. Speakers called for an immediate end to immigration.
There may have been a time when what the media said didn’t matter too much, people would make up their own minds who to vote for based on their experience and judgement of the candidates.
But not recently.
There is so much bending of the truth, so much obfuscation, so much partisanship tending left in so many so-called news organisations that reality finishes a long way behind the prevailing narratives.
It has even brainwashed formerly conservative politicians, who now believe that leaning left will win them more votes. The last election blew that idea out of the water, but there’s no evidence that the Libs noticed.

How can you be sure that the Australian was honest?
Not only should we stop migration, we should also close down any restaurant, cafe, club and tuck truck that does not sell traditional Australian food, you know like kangaroo, bogon moths, that sort of food
You do realise that blaming a minority for things they did not create, is classic authoritarian troupe
[Just watch the video above the quote yourself Peter. Doh. The Australian quoted the Police Commander accurately. Your pathetic absurdist extrapolation shows you are here to throw smoke bombs of your own. The topic is Mass Immigration. We see your baiting… – Jo]
8107
What’s a bogon moth?
Is it flying around without a G, (string), to cover it’s tail end?
And with regard to the food list, we could always eat the farmed animals that Bruce Pascoe dreamt about.
520
Bruce the Bunyip.
170
Do you mean “trope”?
120
Isn’t it interesting how the “pro-immigration” comments always fixate on food.
It’s as if mass immigration has no other benefit than added culinary choice.
450
There is a large cohort of baby-boomers hitting retirement age with dramatically increasing health and pension costs. There is no large pot of money set aside for this, the costs will come from current taxation. Immigrants are subsidising your retirement.
025
As long as those immigrants aren’t arriving with an expectation to enjoy social security benefits, such as the ISIS brides…
In any case, boomers have contributed to society and deserve a pension and health support. That’s how it should work. It makes more sense than newcomers showing up and expecting handouts immediately
40
‘Not only should we stop migration …’
Nobody is arguing to stop immigration, but the massive inflow has become destabilising. Australia has a large multicultural society and all things considered its been beneficial.
Left wing anarchists should be demonised in the MSM for being unAustralian.
421
Peter, no one that I’m aware of has demanded that immigration be stopped, rather that it be reduced to sensible manageable levels, nor is anyone demanding Aussie tucker be served anywhere.
The main issue is the bent reporting we are deluged with.
600
That’s my understanding, most Australians are happy with multicultural society and of course all but a very tiny part of the population today are from immigration and including mixed ancestry.
It is worth reading the book Confessions Of A Failed Finance Minister written by Labor MP Peter Walsh late 1990s and the chapters in which he covers Labor manipulation of migrants by ethnic group to increase branch membership numbers and to attract support generally. He mentions a group of Cabinet Ministers talking to Prime Minister Keating warning about potential future social problems if the mix was not carefully managed.
He covers the deportation order overturned by that PM for an Egyptian citizen who became the most senior Lakemba Mosque leader after being granted permanent residency here, and much more.
At that time (1983-1996) media used the description “ethnic branch stacking” to describe Labor’s recruitment programmes.
200
Your post is a great example of why a reasonable conversation about these topics can’t be had.
The rallies are about having an orderly sustainable immigration program, and having infrastructure and opportunities available to cater. Surely even you actually agree with that.
Your comment why don’t we ban everything to do with immigrants is a trope.
As for how we know the Australian is honest. Watch the police press conference and see that the quotes do represent what was said.
You won’t do that though. Because once you know for sure that was what the police said, you can no longer take the cheap lazy route of throwing out the line of doubt. But maybe you’re just trying to convince yourself it can’t be true.
{you’ll have to watch the interview in full. The video in this article is edited and does not show all the quotes used by the Australian.)
460
Great idea pete; fish and chips and steak with side orders of some spag and Australia will be top of the heap again. Great post.
In more serious news the opposition to immigration is based on 2 valid points:
1 The sheer numbers are destroying the infrastructure of Australia
2 The type of immigrants, particularly muslims, are destroying the values of Australian society.
This is being done deliberately by the alp/greens who are only concerned with importing vote herds and do not care about Australia (see also their energy policies: blackout is the most destructive politician this nation has ever experienced). The other real problem is the cowardice and duplicity of the SFLs. Good on Barnaby.
550
I attended the protest in Melbourne yesterday. Afterwards l walked down to Bridge Road and bought a crispy pork Bahn Mi roll from a Vietnamese cafe, which was delicious by the way. The media can take cheap shots and declare all the protesters attending the rally are racist but it’s simply not true. Attendees want mass immigration to be more regulated so circumstances such as hours long waits in emergency departments are resolved. They want affordable housing to be available. In short they want to maintain a quality of life that seems to be slipping away.
431
If that was your red thumb Peter, I apologise. A pork roll may have been an offensive choice of food to the pro-Palestinian demonstrators, which in turn may have caused offence to you as it wasn’t a meat pie or a plate of meat and 3 veg. I should have been more considerate and opted for a food choice that painted me as a stereotypical racist bogan incapable of critical thinking. I’ll endeavour to change my diet so it conveniently fits in with your world view.
80
Peter Fitzroy, what a ridiculous statement, the Police commander is on record saying it was the radical Leftists causing trouble and the Pro Australia protest crowd was well behaved.
Your insinuation that the PRO Australia protests are about stopping migration is disingenuous, it’s about stopping out of control MASS migration from an inept, overbearing Government that is damaging to social cohesion, is causing housing availability and inflationary cost of living stress.
Also, our percentage of migrants and those born overseas is about the highest in the world at over 30%, so if allowed to continue at the current rate the minority soon becomes a majority after 50.1%, do you think the “new Australian” majority would give much consideration to the minority of conquered civilians in their new lands?
How has history shown that to play out? Hint, it’s not good for those in the conquered minority. Even bleeding heart lefties.
330
The Commander made that point very clearly
210
Nobody has said that.
Yours is a classic leftwing strawman argument.
320
Are you implying that the senior police quoted was lying?
220
He looked and sounded very sincere, and no happy.
Not surprisingly considering the radical left attacks
160
the interview was cut, you are assuming that he was talking about the counter demonstrators.
The point is that the anti migration protest is a distraction.
Explain to me how someone migrating from the middle east, as a humanitarian refugee has the money to outbid everyone else to purchase a home
For example look at the treatment of blueberry harvesters and you might have your eyes opened.
but to take an assertion and treat it as fact demonstrates very lazy thinking
124
Well, why don’t we go back to long dormitories that house 50 people with communal kitchens and toilets, and all immigrants go there first. When they are organised with a job and a house they move out, and another immigrant can come in.
Auckland had them after WW2, and used right up until the 90s when I was working in them.
100
PF, if you are looking to defend these people, you are either a bot or someone whose political leanings have rendered themself unable to see reason when all the evidence speaks to the contrary.
You’ve mentioned blueberry harvesters, l assume you’re referring to immigrant and backpacker fruit pickers, a key requirement to farmers getting their produce to market. Personally, l don’t mind if fruit producers cut corners to get their produce to consumers if that means the government misses out on a little tax because they’ll squander the collected tax anyway.
50
Not assuming anything given the full media conference is available. The fact that you know it was cut and have chosen not to look at the longer version, to verify whether your doubt about The Australian’s honesty is valid, “demonstrates very lazy thinking”.
.
Do you really think that middle eastern refugees making homes unaffordable is the actual argument put forward by most at the rally? Or are you just twisting a point made about wealthier non-refugee migrants and trying to make it look like a silly argument?
Australia had 667,000 migrant arrivals in ’23-’24 and 739,000 in ’22-’23. (https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/overseas-migration/latest-release)
Australia accepts about 20,000 refugees in total each year with 2023 having 30,000. The middle east refugee example you’re coming up with is a portion of that. Which is a small percentage of migrants to Australia and not the main argument against high immigration.
There are many non-refugee migrant arrivals who financially compete for house purchasing. Others for rental accommodation, which raises rents and therefore house prices. So even those not buying raise the prices.
As I said earlier in the thread. It’s comments like yours that demonstrate why a reasonable conversation about these topics can’t be had. But I’m happy to be proven wrong about that so am willing to try.
Genuine questions:
a) Do you think Australia should control the number of immigrants entering Australia each year?
b) If you do think it should be controlled, why?
c) If yes to a), what sort of controls would you like to see?
If you say no to a) then b) and c) are obviously not applicable.
If you say yes to a) then we agree.
Depending on your further answers to b) and c) we might have quite a bit in common.
70
Fitzroy: Thank you for describing “lazy thinking”, and providing a perfect example of your own laziness. “The interview was cut” should be your cue to find the full clip and really give it to our host, why you have the smoking gun right there doncha? Instead, you stay in the dark, blinding yourself as you try to change the subject. No doubt this gaslighting allows you to spend more time directly helping those poor blueberry pickers, they respect your virtue.
60
“the interview was cut, you are assuming that he was talking about the counter demonstrators. ”
You mean when he said the violence came from the left issue motivated groups. We didn’t need to assume, he clearly spelled it out who committed and came with the intention of committing violence.
10
If the media , left & right would simply ignore these morons, they would all disappear within a month.
Don’t report anything at all. Take away the fuel & the fire will extinguish itself. Just like a bush fire. Just like a car . Just like any product , no advertising = no interest!!
260
True, but it won’t happen. Think of The Blob Mob and the Blob Media as two parts of the same team.
Our best weapon is to expose the Blob Media for all to see, to torch their credibility and deny them their power to influence.
When we get around the Blob Media through word of mouth, letter boxing, radio, and social media, they can still keep distorting the world, but no one turns up to drink the propaganda.
261
I did say “ if “.
IF it actually happened hell would freeze over.
50
Similar with the BBC, gave rolling news coverage to No Kings; if they even mentioned the UK anti digital ID protests, I never heard it.
450
And, of course, wall-to-wall coverage of the randy git Prince Andrew.
Ill-advised, blown up by the media [hello B*C!] – AND very PROBABLY LED BY HIS LITTLE HEAD – it still looks like an attempt to smear the entire Royal Family.
The victim, Giuffre, appears to have had a very poor life, which, for some may call her accuracy into question. Are her words [through a co-author] aimed at revenge and retribution? Or just at telling unvarnished truth.
We will never truly know.
But the BBC is pushing …

230
It is good to get this perspective from someone involved.
I wonder who is paying for the violent mob. There people went prepared with rocks. Not quite the lethality and precision of what a work colleague endure in Bougainville riots a few decades back where a rock holed by a local was lethal at 100m. But police visors and shields were cracked by the rocks.
140
“a rock holed by a local”. What does that mean in English?
11
hurled

I was also there Peter. In case readers missed it yesterday, my report includes one incident that the media either failed to notice or chose to ignore.

Thanks for your report.
Too bad the MSM did not focus on the unhinged woman screaming into a megaphone. That would have been worth seeing!
70
The chanting is tribal and if it wasn’t so provocative could be amusing
50
Well, you know how MSM works. Omit facts that don’t fit with the desired narrative and emphasise facts that reinforce it. Don’t display any footage that unequivocally demonstrates Leftists are vitriolic and dangerous.
80
Normal people need to be aware that the Left are becoming increasingly violent, irrational, emboldened and dangerous, much more so than they already were.
Particularly it applies to the more lawless Leftist-governed states, provinces or countries of Australia, the United States, Canada and Europe.
540
I disagree with your statement, in particular the bit where you said, “…. becoming….”
270
Becoming?

They stand at a definitive tipping point, where complete victory is tantalizingly close. Since 1970 their strategy has been patient infiltration, but victory is so close – they can smell it – that they’re losing control and instinctively resorting to force and aggression, (their natural state). This is a historic moment for them. The payoff of a century-and-a-half-long effort—and, like Albo to a junket, they are investing every resource they have to see it through.
230
“Normal people need to be aware that the Left are becoming increasingly violent, irrational, emboldened and dangerous, much more so than they already were.”
That is also a sign they are becoming more desperate to get their failing message out.

Same on Ch 9 Today show, the headline just reads anti-immigration rally, never mind that the footage shows multiple Palestinian flags and lots of keffiyah wearers (obviously forgot to change from their weekly protest).
We know who the bad guys are, we just need the media and governments to acknowledge it and do something about it.
480
In a fiery press conference, Commander Wayne Cheesman held up a box filled with rocks and smashed glass bottles, saying the objects had been hurled at officers.
“This is what was thrown at police today and I think Melbourne has had a gutful,” he said.
“The left-wing group were running up and down side streets.
We were lucky we had barriers and police in place, but they were desperately trying to get to the March for Australia group, who was for a long time static at Parliament House.
“Bottles filled with shards of glass were being thrown at police. Rotten fruit, bins and flags were set on fire. People came to pick a fight with police.
“The people that came to pick the fight with police were the issue-motivated groups on the left,” he said.
“The March for Australia group – they were peaceful, engaging and followed instructions.
The others came with masks, hoodies and umbrellas, throwing rocks and hiding behind barriers. They came to harm our members, and it’s got to stop.”
Premier Allan said it was clear that “some people just want to protest for the sake of protest”.
280
On a video clip I saw a Leftist demonstrator trying to spook a police horse. In the past they have put marbles on the road or sprayed substances into horses’ noses to harm the horses. Cruel, depraved, people.
Examples of previous cruelty to horses by Leftists:
1) https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-10-15/police-arrest-protesters-at-land-forces-expo/104472408
2) https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/antiwar-antiisrael-protesters-return-to-melbourne-streets-after-a-day-of-chaos-and-violence/news-story/7582e74da1b9dabd325092fa311e69d0?amp=
320
I remember this treatment of horses back in the anti Joh/Vietnam protests in the 70’s.
If the bastards can be identified, there should be charges of cruelty to animals which can result in quite serious charges.
260
The radio news this morning said there was bad behaviour at the protest, but didn’t say by whom. Would there have been labelling had the troublemakers been far right?
260
Agreed. They would have been labelled “far right”.
And as we know, they call anyone to the right of Pol Pot, “far right”, typically meaning regular conservatives that believe in “only” two genders, law and order, working for a living, science and reason, etc..
400
Even the Australian, which is the best of a bad bunch, described the March for Australia participants as “ultraconservatives”. WTF is an ultraconservative ? Is it a new word dreamed up following the murder of Charlie Kirk? I assume from that we can call Antifa “ultraanarchist”. That makes me an ultraclimaterealist.
391
“The Australian” (newspaper) worries me.
They seem to be increasingly infiltrated by wokesters.
Maybe “ultraconservative” is their term for “far right” meaning anyone to the right of Pol Pot.
300
My wife buys the weekend edition. I read only Albrechtsen – sometimes Kelly. The point I make about the Australian is that it is a fence-sitter imbued with the politics of Neoconservative types in the US. This is a pity because there is no alternative in print media. Anyway, having trod and motorbiked around most continents over the last half century you get to form opinions outside of the trash that is regurgitated in the media – opinions that change also I might add.
230
It is inevitable that “wokesters” and other leftists will or have infiltrated The Australian, Sky News and other not to the left’s liking media.
As they have in universities and other places and soon after WW2 the United Nations.
110
The comments are certainly patrolled and controlled by wokesters.
30
The media and the democrats in the USA both say that Antifa is just an idea. It doesn’t exist as an organised group according to them. This was part of the reasoning behind them labelling it a farce when Donald Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organisation.
The media never fail to fail.
This is right up there with the CNN reporter saying that the BLM riots were mostly peaceful while he was standing in front of burning buildings.
240
Mandy Rice Davies once said something like “well he would say that wouldn’t he”.
In this case the idea that antifa is just an idea is part of its deliberate design.
150
This ‘Antifa is just an idea’ thing illustrates the twisting of the language and tweaking of the meaning of words at which the left is so adept.
‘Multiculturism’ is the perfect example. It is NOT the same as ‘multiracism’. Most reasonable people accept that we can quite happily have multiple races living together, but nobody wants to see multiple cultures existing separately within our society whilst never integrating.
That is the problem. Immigrants need to adopt the prevailing culture.
Incidentally, when I typed the word Multicuturism, it was underlined by the spellchecker. Maybe it was just invented by the left after all.
110
Or maybe the spell checker noticed the missing “L”…
20
“I assume from that we can call Antifa “ultraanarchist”. ”
Hell no! I’m an ultra-anarchist and in my world they would either starve or be shot for looting!

Channel 7 had cameras tightly focused on the violence.
In Australia, hundreds of right wing extremists marched against immigration.
In the USA millions in cities across the USA marched for No Kings day in anti Trump rallies.
I wonder who is paying the violent pro immigration Australian haters.
Then this is a somewhat different take on the crowd sizes in the USA:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YfGeyfKGuQ
And also some interesting observation on the rallying demographic.

And Vic Plod fired rubber bullets at Covid protesters under orders from Chairman Dan.
Where was the outrage then?
Just saying………………..
320
You have to admit, after the footage of VicPol Public Order Response units firing on citizens…The commissioners pulled back. Too late! The damage was cemented. I do not know how long it will take to earn the public respect. This is a good start,
200
I also watched the channel seven news and heard the police spokesman clearly state that the left-wing extremists were to blame for the violence against police.
But why are terrorist supporters allowed to cover their faces while decent Aussies behave in a reasonable way?
And why are Aussies waving the flag and singing the national anthem considered to be a problem?
And why aren’t terrorist supporters banned from our streets?
If these dangerous terrorist supporters persist, they should be arrested and held in custody and then face charges ASAP?
361
Thanks Jo for this Brilliant and timely post.
Sadly we are trapped in a force field of self serving manipulation that has only one purpose; the destruction of our nation.
The only difference I can see between Gaza , Sydney and Melbourne is that in the two Australian cities the buildings have not yet been razed, but our national structure has been hollowed out and the final crash is close.
Some questions to consider: who is behind this?, why did Dan like Chyna so much? Why does Chyna have a private airstrip in outback WA?
Finally, a big thankyou to all those who are “pushing back”.
Obviously those behind this think that they will be riding high, on the rubble.
340
How has ‘our national structure been hollowed out ‘?, and by who ?.

Violent crimes in Walgett and Melbourne are totally out of control.
Being stabbed in the neck is appalling, shutting down cities like Melbourne and Sydney for rabble exercising so called “free speech” is a denial of the rights of other law abiding citizens to go about their daily business without fear of obstruction and physical threat.
Take a trip to Melbourne.

Omg, Antifa in Australia !, violent crime out of control !.

Yes, That’s it.

That policeman admitted it was far Left extremists who were responsible for the violence and the Australian protesters were peaceful. I hope his career is safe given that since Dictator Dan, VicPol are the private army of Australia’s most extreme Left-lunatic regime who will absolutely not permit the truth to be told if it contradicts Leftist ideology or practices.
280
He’s now at the peak of his career. He will not be permitted to advance any further, since more senior officers clearly cannot trust him.
That is how power is exercised.

The ABC not mentioning the March for Australia rallies isn’t quite right. They got some mention to show attendances were less than in August.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-19/march-for-australia-anti-immigration-counter-protest/105908854
.
However, ABC 612 in Brisbane did an interview with one of the Brisbane organisers, Scott Challen. But it appears Scott was too sensible in what he said and the ABC didn’t get their gotcha moment, or signs of racism. So the interview never went to air. (I don’t know for certain that the interview didn’t go to air, but that is the claim. I can’t find it on ABC’s 612 archive.)

The ABC has seen fit to air an interview with one of the organisers of the first Australia rally in Adelaide. Because this time he was attending the opposing rally which suited the ABC’s narrative.

On Saturday the ABC has also produced this story making claims that one of the organisers in August is seen “coordinating with a Neo-Nazi at the first rally”. “Appearing to confer”. That’s the ABC claim anyway.

Maybe both those stories are accurate and newsworthy. But why not the equivalent other coverage?
Don’t answer. We know why.

The abc had broadcast bulletins on this exact topic that I heard with my own ears and here is the print version https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-19/tensions-flare-melb-march-for-australia-anti-immigration-rallies/105908634

this was the live update thread they had running as a news wire while the protests were happening. It includes coverage as above.

But the nightly prime time news with the biggest audience contained nothing. That’s my point.
We all know they would have gone on for ten minutes of the prime time news if a right winger had thrown one rock at a policeman. They would have been calling for legislation to ban rocks, and to call MarchforAustralia a terrorist group.
220
yep. Sure.
17
Yes – reasonable balance there if you read through the whole article.
Also interesting that there were an anti-immigration rally in Canberra as well. That must make Labor think.
The message might be getting through that housing issues are related to the rate of immigration and inability to meet the housing demand.
240
Yes. It’s a no-brainer that the Uniparty is unwilling to address.
It goes without saying that if you are importing future Labor voters at about ten times the rate that new houses can be built, something is going to break.
I don’t know why the Liberal faction of the Uniparty is unwilling to address that, although it probably relates to the fact that they don’t actually want to be elected.
221
Antifa protesters did address housing shortages: big preprinted sign said it was due to CAPITALISM ! Something like “don’t blame immigration, blame capitalism”.

Looks like the Vic Po[ Commander got it right and the alleged media had NFI as per usual.

The media reported his statements.

Only Sky Newa.

Nope. The ABC covered it live and on all media

I was struck by the left’s iconography in a couple of news reports I saw yesterday. All red and black, jagged lettering and imaging. It reminded me of something.

Yes, I believe the typographic font favoured by the National Socialists was called Schaftstiefel Grotesk, particularly in red and black. It’s no surprise if the new Left are adopting it.

Maybe they were Essendon supporters or they worked at KFC. Just joking here.

Armed conflicts can arise when unexpected. Australia could be in a war next week.
Ask these protesters – will you enlist to fight for Australia?
Or will you fly out to another country to fight against Australians?
……
This is the real yardstick. It is more revealing than asking if your side is the good or bad side.

I am 72 going on 73 next month. A Pommy bar steward from Pomgolia and I have been here 49 years. I will fight to defend this lovely country if need be.
Now, for some red wine with my late lunch. Aussie red wine of course.

The pro-Australian marchers walked under a sea of national flags.
There were Palestinian and Nazi flags for the Antifa agitators. Plus Aboriginal flags and symbols.
Australian flags were burned, not flown by this mob – illustrating perfectly they are basicaly anti Australian. This is the answer.

I just heard a news report on ABC RN radio on the rally and the Victoriastan Premier Jacinta Allan said something to the effect that she was disgusted by the violence but the implication was that it came from the mainstream pro-Australian part of the rally, not the anti-Australian Left who actually committed the violence (of which no mention was made), as confirmed by the police report at https://youtu.be/dJ1baH1tsmY .
220
Well. Let’s see if we can trace through what passes for logic by the bad guys.
If only the thinking majority hadn’t dared to raise their heads, the state sponsored violent groups would not need to have attacked the police. And the police could go back to firing rubber bullets at the thinking majority.
You know it makes sense to a deranged mind at least.

As usual, it’s not what is said, it’s what is left out that is important.

The woman is a waste of space. Vote her and the Marxists out you sicktorians or you will keep getting more and more of the same.

The jaw dropping hypocrisy of the No Kings rabble. They hold signs about saving democracy while demanding the removal of a democratically elected president.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise, given leftists generally are ‘do as I say, not as I do’.

Left leaning media have become surplus to our requirements based on their partisan track record for reporting lack of depth of information provided.
When Prime Minister Tony Abbott was replaced by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull by a very narrow margin of party room MP votes he later held a media conference, since being selected to be Opposition Leader in 2009 until he was replaced as Prime Minister in 2015 he had been subjected to relentless negativity and notably from the left of politics and media left leaning.
He advised journalists not to accept leaked information unless the source was willing to be named. Anonymous leaking from inside the party and from the other side of politics has become a political standard practise.

During the early 1970s I was present when a public broadcaster journalist and television presenter interviewed a cabinet minister and recorded the interview with an outside broadcast television camera unit. The then well known presenter asked many questions and at times stopped recording and returned to questions asked earlier.
That evening the national current affairs programme broadcast that interview and we could not believe how it had been tampered with, answers to questions not asked on the subject for example, an almost complete fabrication to create a false impression for viewers.
The minister was of course angry and made that very clear to the broadcaster, and refused to ever again do pre-recorded interviews.

Wow. I had no idea it had been going on so long. That was what they did to us in the documentary “I can change your mind”. But they already had 40 years of practice…

Here in the US, almost all the ‘news’ is driven by the political money machine.
DC is an industry town and that’s the industry.
For example, the ‘Government Shutdown’ will continue as long as it is a viable as a marketing theme.
Viet Nam and the GWOT continued as long as they were marketable.
Ukraine will continue to serve as a 21st century warfare development lab as long as is marketable.
Trump became POTUS because the political marketers became deranged and unwittingly marketed the Orange threat that they misunderstood due to their previously unpenetrated bubble world.
And amazingly and cluelessly continue with ‘No Kings’.
Climate, Race, and Gender are losing market share.
They’ve been forced into endorsing their own outsider in NYC.
My thing is, we toil with such great effort thinking that we’re engaged in a ‘science’ or ‘policy’ debate, meanwhile the science and policy crowd is just cashing in while we focus to see which cup the pea is under.
But it is Reformation 2.0, and the Knowledge Hierarchy is scrambling to save itself.
I don’t think we’ve yet seen what they’re capable of.
Except ‘Pandemic’ was great big fat clue.

Basically, Victoria is now so broken that I doubt renewal & rebuilding is possible this century Unless of course there’s a miracle on the horizon. Let’s hope & pray that the miracle occurs!

More from Vic police representative on left-wing thugs:

I still wonder who is paying for this thuggery, I would be looking at the income of anyone harming the police to find out who is paying them.

4pm Qld time channel 7 news still reporting on the march violence in Melbourne yesterday and NOT differentiating which march was responsible.
Dis-information by omission.
All the head snout burier can do is voice her denial by claiming Melbourne is not as violent as every one sees it.
100
Violence by the loony left in Melbourne? Who would have thought such a thing could happen!! Just ask Allen, there is no violence in her city. Melbourne and its suburbs are peaceful progressive woke nirvanas, overflowing with diversity, equity and inclusion with a permanent rainbow in the sky……..Violence you say, no never!
Visit Melbourne — You Are Loved…..

I understand that Australia is surrounded by big water.
Seems like poor oppressed seekers would have a hard time getting there.
Weird thing about ‘mass immigration’.
Regular people have to collect their official papers, navigate through a gauntlet of armed authority, and a search which often includes borderline (see what I did there) sexual assault … just to return to their own homes … in the country they were born in.
Others just walk in.
Across the ocean.
