Our right to protest is a key tool in our political power toolset. Gathering to show support or discontent for an issue, and disrupting ‘business as usual’ is the whole bloody point - it applies pressure and creates visibility.
The government can’t tell us not to protest. Full stop. Our democracy in Australia is already cooked enough - let’s not let it slide.
If our ability to have ‘legal’ protests is taken - we have to protest anyway.
