    Gun regulations. Not protest regulations. As mind numbingly stupid we are as a nation. I don’t think most people really think the Akram’s were protestors.

    I will ask though where are the unions? You know the reason the Labor party exists in the first place. Surely their rights to protest are sacrosanct . If a Labor government can just opportunistically ban one kind of protest an LNP can easily just ban another.

      A lot of aged Qld ALP members were dismayed when Qld cracked down on protests under the previous state ALP government, saying the legislation nearly exacrly mirrored the Bjelke-Petersen Governments Union anti protest laws. Didn’t help though… (mostly climaye protests becase protesting the destruction of the enviorment and the likely collapse of civilisation is apparently not on)

      I notice the Greens supported the revised gun laws but were against more protest crack downs, so voters do have a choice.
