Group of protesters wandering around the city, @therealrukshan is now live. Unsure of location? Media contingent following them around & apparently cops trying to follow. Nice to see one of the attendees checking on Dowsley's head in the live haha
They're at the Tan, same location the impromptu Melbourne footy celebrations last week. Far less people there than at that event. Cops are starting to gather in large numbers now.
They're continually moving, where is unclear but from history that's probably the only way to avoid rubber bullets.
They're just wandering around. Went from the Tan, to Southbank & back again, & still wandering.
Cops picking people off from the sides. The group is too small & moving too fast for them to do much except try to get in the middle of them, especially as they seem to be struggling to tell them from the public too.. cop numbers are growing. Not sure where the group is going.
They've trotted out the highlighter vest cops. Weird how that didn't happen for the footy supporters who were a much larger crowd than what they've gotten today #doublestandardDan. While the footy crowd didn't start playing in traffic, the cops also didn't push them there.
It's now been broken up and the live has ended.

Getting irritated by the level of bs.
1. Cases today were reported yesterday, which means they were tested Tuesday. So they'd need symptoms or exposure notification in 48-72hrs or less. Not how their public data claims for infectiousness or delta work. Smells like bs. Image
2. They have been told for months, publicly, by multiple experts, that compliance was clearly declining & unless they addressed that by more moderate measures, it would get worse. There isn't an excuse for just being this ignorant. They 100% made the decision to ignore this.
3. By deliberately making the previous choice, they rightfully should have prepared for the consequences. Not like they've had over a year & spent billions only to now scream & cry that we aren't prepared & for some reason the public *must* continue to bear the brunt of this.

Another good old leak to the HS.
Know what else leaked? The titanic.

So they created a mandate, only to reopen at 25-50%.. except for their pet projects which are of course going to be 100% capacity. ImageImage
This is literally unenforcable but okay just make shit up. Image

We're back on the cases.

Struggling to follow some of King's lines of questioning, it's not very clear what he's going for here..
Have to say it.
King is giving off big Foley vibes.
Interested what he chooses to pull out of the Public Health England report. UK have generally great open data reporting. Very frustrating that Australia seems to love ignoring that this exists.

For the NSW SC livestream:
Peter King = Kassam/AFL Solicitors.

Marcus Clarke/Jason Harkness/Vanessa Plain = Henry/G&B Solicitors.

J K Kirk SC = NSW govt lawyers.
We've been watching them run through the evidence presented for the cases and assess/debate if it should be included or not, particularly in respect to how/where in their case it's relevant.
We're now at the first witness that's been presented, Prof Kristine Macartney.

Oh look the NSW govt side is trying to argue it's more damaging to public interest to release cabinet docs & break normal legal protocol & that that's more important to protect than the interests of the litigant seeking private rights.
The battle of this will essentially come down to if the judge rules this is 'exceptional circumstances' or not.
"The noodle.. I mean needle". 😂
