The Australian totalitarian megathread - She won't be right mate.

Apparently the Victorian cops have opened up with the "mostly non lethal weapons" on the crowd as they were coming off the bridge and winding down. Fucking cowards

Really just went all out on late 2019 on a system because I could, but would rather put high end gpu money into a Landcruiser.

Solid system, especially for shredding video! I'm running over on the Intel side of things.

I feel really bad for Richard Pusey, he put all that effort into being Victoria's most hated man and then along comes the usurper, Daniel Andrews.

Turns out Pusey was a visionary and martyr.

Laughing your arse off as coppers die in agony is moral and right in clownworld.

But guys our governments are totally popular and rightful!
The only people who can do this are bad people, like corn pop, don't trust them!
Trust the government they love you!

No but really I think the only reason why the scamdemic happened is that we had the perfect storm of weak governments having to assert themselves this way in order to stay in power.
I hope they all hang in Stronghold Crusader Deluxe HD

I just realized that construction workers may have access to explosives on job sites. Probably not a wise idea to piss them off.

I can't wait till some autistic gasfitter brings out a home-made flamethrower.

I can operate an excavator, I'm looking forward to an influx of mass grave work for Leftists post covid.

Anyone know of another livestream account? Rukshan has just signed off.

Haven't paid much attention before, but the Victorian state of emergency is due to expire at midnight on the 23rd, have they cut it this close before on any of the 18 other extensions?

Also been googling around and I can't figure out if we're currently in a state of disaster or not, given that we've still got state enforced bedtime and travel limits surely we must be?

Aaaaand the NSW government just threw their counterparts in VIC under the bus, with the following announcement ...

If Dictator Dan doesn't backpedal, a shitload of construction workers will bail to NSW.

As requested by @Honk Hill , here's Wheelie Man in action! (Along with views of the riot cops, the crowd, and a spirited chant.)

I clipped this scene. A friendly civilian passing by near the cameramen waves at the police line, unaware that the armor-clad riot cops are about to rain hell down on the tired protesters who've said their piece and just want to go home and rest now.

Looks and sounds like tear gas for sure, hard to tell from the low rez but possibly some rubber bullets as well in the mix. Hope some footage from a better vantage point turns up. I recommend watching this one with the sound on, you can hear the pops and swishes of the tear gas launchers firing, and Rukshan narrates what's going on.

Then why don't all the real union member come out in counterprotest? And why did the union chief come out and talk to a crowd of nazis ? Why didn't he recognize none of them as members?

Yeah I know. Reddit will be reddit.

Oh please. I support their and anyone else's right to protest, but cry me a river. You turn up to protest and ignore move on orders. (Whether move on orders for a protest are right or wrong is another story, but it's the law.) If you're there and choose to remain there, you should stay committed. It's not as simple as "I'm tired and want to go home."

Their problem was that they, collectively, made a tactical mistake by getting themselves boxed in on the bridge.
