Just a reminder that anyone can provide feedback to their local and state members, or Chris Minns directly here: [https://www.nsw.gov.au/nsw-government/premier-of-nsw/contact-premier](https://www.nsw.gov.au/nsw-government/premier-of-nsw/contact-premier)
An apology would be weak. Put all the violent police officers before a Magistrate to answer assault charges
>unless it was in the middle of a riot,” he told reporters.
Good to see he’s at least not being melodramatic about the protestors in any way, the grub
why should he… While I support the protest and arbore Herzog in our country, that was a cheap shit stunt in front of cameras for bullshit attention and finger pointing. Which is exactly what isn’t needed when you’re trying to stand up for something.
We won’t apologise for putting his name where it belongs on the ballot.
It’s not damage control if we don’t acknowledge the damage. Labor spin doctors probably.
He’d be crashing through walls to apologise , change laws, and creating working groups if it happened to any other religious group.
EDIT- and this is where we are at Australia.
Cops now bashing you, religious or not, to make someone who has incited hate and genocide happy.
Tony Abbott commended Chris Minns’ actions which says it all really.
He *really* thinks we’re going to forget about this before the next election, doesn’t he? Doesn’t matter the party, condoning that level of violence is unacceptable and will be remembered with extreme clarity.
Minns wants Labor to lose next election so that he can call for a new leader.
Idk if he is delusional enough to think it will be him or not tho
Call me a cooker but I genuinely don’t think he intends to win the next state election. He has done what he needs to, has clashed with federal labor policies(wfh was a big one) for the sake of business and has secured his post politics bag with these recent actions. His seat of Kogarah is my local area and it’s essentially a free seat given the cultural makeup of the area after the last few months.
At this point are they not worried about optics in the slightest?? Has Netanyahu told Minns that he’s going to buy NSW and give it to him or something??
Minns is constitutionally unable to apologise to Muslims for anything.
[everyone hated that]
It really scares me how much damage Minns’ has caused to the muslim community and overall social cohesion of NSW. It really makes me sick. Pathetic.
He needs to get ousted before the next state election.
Gotta be time this government was taken to the human rights Commission for such utterly prejudiced priorities. The police resources and funding and willingness to literally beat the shit out of people so that they can tell a ge nocide gig that they had cleared the area.
I mean, having thousands of people terrorised, chased, beaten and on what risk? He trotted out some ideas that there was a line that might be breached.. what? I mean people were free to walk around the city that he was preventing people from marching. Like, if someone had nefarious plans: might they not be better off not carrying a flag or attending a rally at town Hall first? I mean he has a seriously warped view of what the threat actually is.
All this violence could have been avoided if police and Minns had just let people have their say in public. There is no reason to move on a peaceful protest. They disperse on their own, and go back to their lives. We’d probably have a couple of news stories about the protest and that’d be that. We don’t have a history of these kinds of protests turning violent or resulting in property damage. Everything the police and Minns did here has only served to escalate the situation, stifle free speech, create public disunity, and distrust in government and police authority.
> “So Muslims praying in the city as well, Premier – whether it was legitimate prayer or they were baiting police, who knows – but that will be weaponised against the force, you know that,”
– Karl Stefanovic
Everyone here seems to be focusing on the politics of all this.
But if I were a radical extremist (I am not) seeking to radicalise someone to commit the next violent horror on our shores, I honestly couldn’t have asked for better recruitment material than what Minns has delivered in this last week.
Minns is making us all less safe.
It wasn’t close to a riot. There were a lot more of us than police, if it was it would not have ended well. Bunch of guys following their religious obligations on the side of townhall not marching or fighting back got tossed around and thrown. If thats what social cohesion and unity is then props to labor. People don’t forget such incidents especially when it is all over the social media.
From the reporting and footage, police were issuing move on directions to clear the area. If that’s the case, those directions apply to everyone regardless of what they’re doing at the time. Starting to pray in the middle of a dispersal order doesn’t override a lawful direction.
It’s fair to debate how police handle these moments, but it’s also fair to recognise that public order rules don’t pause based on the activity someone chooses to do in that moment.
Its not a stretch to assume Minns is in line for some retaliation
I doubt Minns even has the morals or integrity to apologise to anyone for anything.
“Freedom of religion is a fundamental right in NSW – and we are ardent defenders of it.” -Chris Minns
He also said:
“But that freedom does not extend to operating unlawfully or putting community safety at risk.”
Yeah, pretty sure you put community safety at risk for a subset of one religion’s desire to attend an event which did not need to happen. If you only decent one religion, and trample others (including non religious) then you’re not a defender of religion, you’re a religious supremacist.
Not very cohesive of him
But we all know there’s only one group whose feelings matter on this topic
Grow up Chris Minns.
Vote this cunt out! We need a Greens premier in NSW.
I can’t look at the NSW police force as a to serve and protect the community type of organisation anymore. They’ve been green lighted to be violent and brutal thugs that are put there to intimidate and bash people for an authoritarian wannabe premier.
He has no future interest in politics. It’s all about the next cushy gig provided to him by a certain lobby group. He has been a good little goy boy.

Der Übermensch do not apologise.
No he’s just going to bow down to his Israeli overlords, disgusting
He really is a horrible man, isn’t he. Is there anything redeeming about him?
The liberals love him. What a fucking mess.
He should be removed by the legative assembly.
‘ we did nothing wrong, because we never do anything wrong !’
That’s basically how he is explaining the situation
It’s watered down play from the American war on ‘terror’
Govt is compromised and I don’t say that in a dramatic way. They’re using public perception tactics from israel and America
All this for a war criminal who was in the Epstein files
