No doubt the Governor General would say it was King Charlie. King Charlie, as head of the Church of England would claim it was an instruction from God. God will remain ineffably confused & blame it on the Holy Spirit. It will end here as the Holy Spirit remains unidentified.

See this, Sydneysiders. “Anyone who was assaulted, detained, searched or otherwise affected by police conduct at the Herzog protest is invited to attend to receive free legal advice. “Anyone who witnessed any such police conduct is also encouraged to attend. “The clinic will be run by a team of experienced lawyers and supported by the Civil Liberties Defence Centre - a new not-for-profit organisation established by lawyers who care about defending our democratic rights - and other law students. “The clinic is 100% free of charge for attendees.”

Michael Pascoe, Michael West: 'NSW Premier Chris Minns would have you believe he doesn’t know one end of Sydney from the other. The protesters wanted to march away from where Herzog was. That’s not the impression Minns gave.It adds to his Trump-like obfuscation and denial of the violence he helped cause at the anti-Herzog demonstration in Sydney on Monday night.Also Trump-like, he suggested the public should perhaps not believe the video evidence they saw of a man with his hands raised being repeatedly punched by police.I’m waiting for the Labor Premier to endorse Tony Abbott’s sentiments, as reported by the SMH:“Former prime minister Tony Abbott has suggested police who punched protesters yesterday should receive a commendation, and officers at future demonstrations should be armed with tear gas and rubber bullets to safeguard against the pro-terrorist protests we’ve seen too often.”' 'It was his decision and his alone to grant Herzog a state visit. To hear him in Federal Parliament say it was the doing of the Governor-General insults the intelligence of Sky News commentators. It is hard to imagine anyone stupid enough not to imagine the inevitable results of such an invitation to appease a small but powerful lobby group that sees only upside in any means of denigrating Israel’s critics. On that basis, they’re on a winner with most press coverage. So is Albanese that stupid, or does he not care? My suspicion, on no scientific grounds, is that most of the Australian Labor Party regards the Herzog state visit as a very regrettable mistake.That’s irrelevant as “ALP” now seems to stand for the Albanese Labor Party.' michaelwest.com.au/is-chris-…

Yes, you have no opposition, so come on - get rid of AUKUS, fix the NACC, you're education mister, why not fund state schools properly?

Meanwhile in Australia, the president of the state that did this is being wined and dined by our “leaders”, welcomed and applauded by children and teachers at a Jewish school, celebrated and sanctified, as protestors are bashed and brutalised.

Their first allegiance to Israel above Australia is now clearer to see.

"I was a medic Monday night. Told police as such several times, before the same officers did this to me. St Vincents released me 6.30am. Nurses expressed shock at high numbers of injured Australians they were caring for, and all reporting police brutality."facebook.com/share/p/1CDs1rb…

You say hate speech The Australian of the year says rise up in peaceful non violent protest around the world to call out repression and foreign interference in Australia Stand up for all people for freedom justice peace and human rights for all Jews Muslims Christians living from the river to the sea @hrw @FranceskAlbs

Hello @AlboMP. Why did you describe Isaac Herzog as the Head of State of Australia’s Jewish community? He is no such thing. TRANSCRIPT HERE: pm.gov.au/media/radio-interv…

MINNS SAYS THAT ALBANESE INVITED HERZOG. ALBANESE SAYS IT WAS THE GOVERNOR GENERAL. BOTH REALISE THAT THEY HAVE LOST VOTER'S TRUST. LOSS IN BELIEF OF FAIR & EQUAL LAWS. LOSS OF TRUST IN THE POLICE. LOSS IN SOCIAL COHESION.

Grace Tame can never be accused of being a mediocre manager like yourself, @AlboMP. Grace Tame is a Leader. #auspol #GazaGenocide #HerzogNotWelcome

I would support one Grace Tame over 10,000 murderous, sociopathic Zionists. #GlobaliseTheIntifada is the catch-cry for 2026. We must ‘shake off’ the shackles of the Zionist cabal that wants to control the world. #FuckIsrael

At last! Labor elected members expressing disgust at the violence perpetrated on decent Australians who oppose genocide in Gaza. Labor branches must demand Albo and Minns condemn police violence, end suppression of the right to protest and cease capitulating to Zionist extremists

It appears you no longer have the right to protest — First Dog on the Moon theguardian.com/commentisfre…

It needs to be very clearly understood that Herzog’s visit here has made Australian Jews LESS SAFE, because @AlboMP decided that all Australian Jews support Herzog’s murderous words and actions and that he speaks for them. This (very wrongly, of course) incites people to want to want to harm Jews more than they would have otherwise, because Albanese has implied that all Jews agree with Herzog. And both @AlboMP AND @ChrisMinnsMP have also made all Australian Jews LESS SAFE by outlawing the mostly-peaceful ways in which Australians have always spoken, marched and protested against horrific activities such as genocide. This also (very wrongly, of course) incites people who have no other way to express their fury to want to harm Jews more than they would have otherwise. None of this is a reason for ANY Jewish person (or anyone else) to face any type of harm, and is not in any way a justification or excuse for any such harm. But amid global rising tensions around war, genocide and the slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinians, both Albanese and Minns have hugely RAISED the temperature of anger, blame and frustration towards some groups of people. This is why their current calls for calm are so hypocritical and ridiculous. THEY were the ones who needlessly “raised the temperature”. THEY were the ones who stupidly conflated the Israeli government with all Jewish Australians. THEY are the ones still feting and honouring a man now credibly accused of inciting genocide, but who still think they can force Australians to ignore the slaughter. And THEY are the ones putting ALL Australians (but particularly Jews and Muslims) in even more danger by needlessly stirring up tensions best left alone. Anthony Albanese is what happens when a weak, media-led man who’s drunk on his own power and with nobody in his party or in his office to tell him some hard truths about governing comes to power. He may have some decency and some desire to do good, but those traits are sadly overpowered by his craven need to satisfy those who yell at him the loudest. His cowardice and his complete lack of intelligent leadership will be his legacy. Genocide isn’t up for debate. Decent Australians know this, even if our governments don’t. #HerzogNotWelcome #NewsCorpse

1/2 I am White, Australian, Atheist & I am so angry & embarrassed watching Albanese walking shoulder to shoulder, down the red carpet* with Herzog. I can only imagine the feelings of our Australian Palestinians & Lebanese (Catholic & Muslim) as they watch the man responsible...

Mary, similar tactic on Sydney Harbour Bridge. When we reached Milson’s Point, walkers were turned back on themselves instead of access to railway stations for dispersal.

That's just an excuse. This was always part of the plan. Remember they they tried and failed at it during the harbour bridge march
