I was filled with concentrated disgust at those officers in her home acting like she committed a bank robbery over a social media post of her desire to protest.
At least wait until she had done the deed first. They should adopt the swastika as their logo.

@Swift
Exactly !
With the amount of crap that's online and they worry about her. . . . . . Well if society can't see there is a problem here I can't see what else will convince people.

[Big Engine Mechanic]

Finally !!!!!!! Yyyyeeerrr!!! Just saw it on the news There has been a protest for the right reasons Against Covid 19 restrictions!
I must admit I think the police were alot more heavy handed with this protest rather than the BLM protest, double standards there once again.

I found a video and had to post this
I'm surprised about the horses they usually use Grey's,
Love this older guy

Yes to pick on or abuse a pregnant woman is about the worst thing a man can do also there should always be a female police officer during these situations, there was one but she came in late and it was a guy that arrested her, if anybody it should have been a female police officer.

[Swift]

Absolutely outrageous when they aren't prepared to be that zealous with anyone politically touchy to the left like BLM and African gangs.
They resorted to an old piece of legislation from 1958, very open to interpretation, related to inciting an offence to take place, just to arrest her.
Smacks of clutching at straws for political expediency.

Found this video of Mel Gibson spelling out our own demise in 1987. This country is disgusting.

That's a really good one !
Mel Gibson was a handsome bloke.
I don't like what's happening to this country either, I remember a time where I use to see society happy with glowing faces, husband and wife hand in hand with children walking down the street happy to have a job etc going out places. . . . . . .
Now I see people high commiting crimes bragging about what underage girl they landed, on the dole and people looking like they just come out of a train wreck, some people like that sought of life and some people have become so gullible to the media that we will end up heading down that path no matter what.

He was at his peak here though he did great stuff much later like Ransom and Signs.
Here he is in a deleted scene from Lethal Weapon which he was doing at the time. Note the big square American sedans that were still prolific then -same mechanical package as our Fairlane, though with a full chassis in their case of course .

A one of a kind actor.

3,liberal governments in Tasmania NSW SA Queensland ACT and federally with labor governments in NT Victoria and WA

4,labor governments in NSW Victoria Queensland SA ACT and federally with liberal governments in NT WA and Tasmania

By the looks of things, I feel like 2 is more likely to happen but the smaller parties win more seats as more people from Gen Z are able to vote...

Then you will have the kids of the current generation gen alpha that would be able to vote from 2028 as the gen alpha started in 2010 making any gen alphas born from January 2010 onwards eligible to vote in 2028 depending on how many gen alpha kids in that born in 2010 group turn 18 before Election Day

[385BUZ]

Wow! Didn’t realise we have gen alphas that are 10 now! Where has that time gone!

[Swift]

Hopefully gen alpha will be conservative rebels.

[Campbelltown busboy]

Hopefully gen alpha will be conservative rebels.

Let's hope there are some conservative millennials out there so there' then will be some conservatives in gen alpha.

[Swift]

I have heard there are quite a few conservatives among generation Y sick of the BS feed to them by teachers and
through high school and millennials too.

I do know millennial conservatives exist, but the hoi polloi among them are left leaning unfortunately.

we could see the situation where there would be people on the far left pushing the greens to become a major party

Are you suggesting that all Younger Generations are Progressive just because you see them involved in The climate change protests and more are unemployed because of COVID19?

I know that there are Conservative Gen Zs too. I have seen them with my own eyes and Ive seen them on the internet, Naomi Seibt is an example of a conservative Gen Z:

Here is her twitter account:

Every Generation will always have two political sides whether you believe me or not, Whether it be a Progressive Boomer or a Conservative Gen X person.

I wonder what the nickname for the next generation will be? My good guess will have something to do with the world now waking up to save the environment so maybe i could call it "Gen Grassroots" where more people actually get to have their voice heard and not just the rich.

Being a Gen Z myself, I have already experienced so much in during my lifetime. I first saw Gladys Berejiklian on a news video on YouTube when I was really young, then I started learning about politics a lot more a few years later, I never really understood what our politicians said wben i was really young so to me it felt like gibberish - still kind of hear all sorts of gibberish that I still can't understand from politicians today. Especially when you go to the right. But when you listen to trump, his language is so simple that even a 5 year old could understand what he is trying to say - and he won because his language was so easy to understand - but when I was 5-6 years old I never really understood what our politicans said.

I'm a on the fence gen Y/millennial politically that doesn't know what side he wants to lean towards

[Swift]

I think you'll go right then.

Watching the American debate and was surprised that Donald, who calls himself a genius, thinks a mask is to protect yourself when it is a thousand times more for protecting others.

Yep. He’s a ding dong.

The conservative right will fight until the US election is won it will be good for America and the world it will also be pro Brexit as Trump supports it
