Coming to a town near you !

Agree 100% with your sentiments Stephen, however the Courts then have to impose the penalty. Some judges seem not to be interested in applying the mandatory penalty.

Not one accused and convicted person has been gaoled for the mandatory 6 months for assaulting an emergency service worker in Victoria. The act was passed into law at least 4 years ago.

Yes, have heard about that but haven't read exactly what penalties they are. Trouble is that 99 % of the perpetrators will never get caught coz the crime will be at 2.00 a.m. in the morning on cars that will be parked in the street and if they hear or see anyone they will just be up and on their way with no proof they did any wrong.

Then, if they were unlucky enough to get caught and eventually face a judge the same old same old happens - they give the standard sob story their father was a drug addict and their mother was a drunk and they got abused blah blah blah and the judge, who one would assume is a highly intelligent person believes this BS story and feels sorry for them ( and not the people who were the victims ) gives them a few stern words and minimal fine and sends them on their way to do it all again !!

It's no wonder this once great country has such a high crime rate !!

It’s not crime the new laws are aimed at Gazz, it’s those F ing protesters.

Fines jum from $750 up to $50,000 and up to 3 months jail.

Here is a Link to the new fines

" up to " and " up to " is where the problem lies !

You would have more chance of putting out the sun standing on Mt Kosciusko with a water pistol than any greenie protestor getting fined $50,000 or doing 3 months gaol !!

Similar thinking went into the recent spate on protesters blocking intersections in Melbourne causing traffic to come to a standstill. Engines idling for up to an hour whilst their exhaust fumes continue to pollute the atmosphere. Some people would have reached their destination long before the protesters moved on if they had not blocked the intersection. Not to mention other drivers that then had to detour and take longer to reach their destination. Counter intuitive if you ask me.

It would also be good if the protesters were up for all the extra cost they create like fuel and lost wagers getting to work late people missing important appointments they have be it medical or for a job or closings deals etc it can get very complex. Yrs ago they stopped unions having strikes on the spot they have to give notice and be organized or companies I believe can sue for losses. Protesters should have to register so those innocent caught up in it have some way of being compensated for any financial losses especially with the cost of living these days. I bet the protesters don't care much about who they disrupt and to what degree.

These are not our brain surgeons apparently.

"Tyre Extinguishers has even released a pamphlet and stickers instructing budding saboteurs how to deflate a tyre."

Its a wonder they can dress themselves.

If we get to a point where toothbrushes become scarcer than a dunny role during a pandemic then call me. I have several woolly sheep who will happily donate a bit of fleece. You could then wrap it around your finger, whack some toothpaste on it and rub away.

Not much thought goes into any of their protests it's like a horse wearing blinkers. Most of them would not have a replacement for any item they want removed from every day life plus 99% of them are hypocrites because everything they do in there daily lives generates pollution the same as the average joe. Like do they live in houses with electricity what form of transport do they use where do there clothes come from and food also ask them to hand in their mobile phones in they would call murder the list goes on and on. If they went the right way about it and practiced what they preached first in their own lives then slowly try to talk to people about alternatives then it would have a more positive impact. Most of them have no idea how to grow their own veggies let alone anything else. I've never been approach by a greenie, asked what have I done to help the planet and have never asked them the same but I did ask one maybe around 20yrs ago who was at one of there own display stands if they got paid to do there job. That person said full timers get around $500 a week but I didn't ask how much pollution was generated in the overall process of printing money that they happily accepted and where the stand and leaflets they had were made like I've always said hypocrites.

But where will the toothpaste tube come from?

Didn't you know they don't brush their teeth or shower.

"These gullible city dwelling activists have no idea" just about sums it up.
