Minns doubles down on unconstitutional anti-protest laws.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/apr/20/minns-doubles-down-anti-protest-law-despite-nsw-highest-court-ruling-it-unconstitutional-ntwnfb

Asked about the finding that social cohesion did not justify the law, Minns took aim at the Greens for supporting protesters charged after February’s anti-Herzog protest at Sydney’s town hall, when the law was in force. The rally is now subject of a police watchdog investigation into allegations of police misconduct and brutality.

Minns is a dick.

I think he's a bit worse. He's come out against democracy, protest, civil rights, and the though court. He's also explicitly and uncritically backed the police in some of the worst mass police violence we've seen in recent times.

Yeah they’re fucking disappointing ay.

We know how shitty conservatives are. We expect better from Labor but they just don’t deliver. They suck.

It would not be legal for me to say what I think should be done to PH1N members and voters.

If this isn't proof to Labor stooges that their parliamentary party aren't anti-democratic thugs that need to be abandoned, I don't know what will be...

The party is beyond reform

Does he want to lose the next election? Because this is how you lose the next election.
