Chris Minns: “I will not close the bridge for any circumstances!”*

That Minns sounds like he's trying for the title of biggest dickhead Premier in Australia. Mind you, he has some pretty tough competition these days... including our own sport obsessed Roger Cook.

Given the suspect new Minns Fascist Hate speech Laws "Gas the Jews" would see possibly thousands arrested. Or would the Minns government turn a blind eye.....again?

Organisers have now made it clear regardless of if it allowed or not they don’t believe in Australia laws and they will shut down the bridge on Sunday.

Obviously the answer here is to allow them to march onto the bridge than have the police block both ends and begin to arrest every single one of those protesters.

Labor and especially Minns will not have the back bone to do it unfortunately.

He leads by words not actions!

In a ruling typical of the Supreme Court, Justice Belinda Rigg has handed down her judgment on the planned protest march, in which she said: “The commissioner’s application should be refused.

“It is very much in the entitlement to public protest that disruption will be caused to others.

“The fact the proposed assembly is likely to cause significant inconvenience to residents ... is far from determinative.

“If matters such as this were to be determinative, no assembly involving inconvenience to others would be permitted.”

So when has the court ever worked with the police on anything. Angry

ps ... in a recent poll, 93% were against the bridge being closed.

Yep. I don't just make things up off the top of my head. I actually voted in that poll.

Personally I don't really care if you believe it or not.

And I hope that it continues to pour on Sunday just to add to the chaos.

Here's something else to trigger you.

Quote:

It should not be for judges to decide when a political protest is justified. The decision to close the Sydney Harbour Bridge to facilitate this protest is a political decision and should be made by elected and accountable ministers - who as it happens, think the march should not go ahead.

We are on a slippery slope when unelected judges start making political judgments.

Abbott's out of his mind.

The opposite of what he says is true.

Also, have you found a link to the poll yet?

The harbour tunnel would be a more appropriate place for these terrorist supporters to show support for Hamas and Palestine Islamic Jihad.

Palestine Islamic Jihad is a name that spells out what they want they're aligned with Hamas.

22 Arab countries have called Hamas terrorists told them to disarm and disband and GTFO of Palestine.

Those who are supporting Hamas and Palestine Islamic Jihad are on the wrong side of history.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Even the Muslims now realise that the only people standing in the way of a Palestinian state are the Palestinians. I wonder when Greg and John and Nail will catch on.
