“If we want to move into a situation where private ethnic militias can use up to deadly force in defence of people in the streets of Sydney, we are moving into a dark place,” the Labor MLC added. “I uphold and agree fully with the comments of the Police Association and also deputy commissioner Hudson… this is the job of our police. A special unit has been established with long arms”.

Imagine if the Muslim community asked for a special armed unit to solely protect them. There’d be a mini riot and Pauline’s hair would turn black. I’d like a Jedi special Unit with light sabres.

    He’s arguing that a foreign fascist ethnostate should be allowed to establish their own extremist militias. And this is while he’s trying to force through legislation to give police the unilateral ability to clone and search every Australians phones and digital accounts without any evidence, warrant, or probable cause.

    Someone needs to check his hard drives. Trying to destroy our most fundamental human rights for a foreign adversary is evidence of corruption and probable cause. If we didn’t live in a corporate dictatorship, this corrupt traitor would spend the rest of his life in prison. But we do, so he’ll spend the rest of his life insanely wealthy and protected.

    While I have strong opinions on whether a fascist government should be allowed to establish militias in other countries, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT PIG ON THE LEFT OF THE PHOTO DOING WITH HIS GODDAMN FINGER

    Unrelated to the article, I wish there were more news communities for other countries, I like keeping up with things from other countries and too much US news is in my face every day of the week.
