The harbour bridge wants to be invaded on Sunday by lunatics to cause chaos in the city.

Chris Minns & the NSW Government said NO.

Lets see if the lunatics listen or do they think there above the law.

I'm going to join that march and carry my "f**k Manly" flag.

These protests are across the world, and…

People who speak out against mass starvation and genocide are not lunatics.





This protest should be fast tracked and permitted like any other. Our premier however is very much a public pro-Israel politician and is doing his best to stall this for no other reason than to appease “others”.

Closing the HB is no excuse BTW. It gets closed on heaps of Sundays and nobody give a rats. Minns is carrying on about this unnecessarily.

Minns criticised by own MPs over opposition to harbour bridge protest

A pro-Palestinian advocacy group march still hopes to cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge this weekend despite court action, as infighting breaks out amongst NSW Labor government ranks.

I thought that ended already

Permanent. Boring.

This got a laugh.

You could add we had Oumuamua - the first interstellar visitor (actually just checked and this was in 2017 so a bit out, haha).

Fake Mark Twain 'Quote' Mocks Voting - FactCheck.org

A quotation misattributed to Mark Twain is circulating online and suggests the famous writer disparaged voting. Actually, he celebrated it.

Who said it is irrelevant. The statement is true.

People say they are wiping out the middle class. I agree it is shrinking but I feel like one of the biggest contributors is the realisation from many of the working class that they've been fooled to think they are middle class when infact they are deeply entrenched and stuck in lower class most likely forever.
An example is a friend of mine who thinks he is middle class cause he owns a nice shirt and tie. But zero money or assets.

Technology basically has enabled people to see the whole of society and not just the little bubble they live in.

It’s an opinion. I think there is a difference between countries that have a democracy and countries that have a dictatorship.

If voting doesn't matter, then what the hell does this mean ?

Explain to me the tangible differences in your life when Left or right are running our country? There is almost none. It's just mindset in my opinion.
I'm open to hearing how your or my life cha hes pending on who is in power? Like genuinely curious cause I dont see any

Sad story, of miss information:

Our sister died because of our mum's cancer conspiracy theories, say brothers

Paloma Shemirani’s brothers say she refused chemotherapy because of their mother’s beliefs.

So true, the concept of middle class and aspiration is an illusion perpetuated to favour... you guessed it.

Social media is a real cesspool at the moment. I mainly use it for sports, music and surfing updates.

I only use Insta and Twitter but its mainly all about Trump. Mostly poeple criticising him for what he does or has done and a few people defending him. Im so over this guy I just dont give a f**k anymore.

Antivax mum sent her off to have 5 x coffee enemas per day, rather than chemo.

All these people who think they've stumbled on these "unique" ways to treat and overcome cancer, better than the doctors can advise...

Just stick with the science people - and also because (unlike the shonky "cure of the day") the science evolves.

Cancer rates are exploding amongst young people. I'd say diet and pesticides are most likely cause but thats a guess. Rather then solely trying to find a cure shouldn't we look into why rates are increasing in the first place?


Actually that may mean people selling harmful products dont make money and same goes for large pharmaceutical companies. It's hardly in their interest.

But f**k it. TRUST SCIENCE.

It's turned into a huge propaganda machine. I keep getting fooled by AI videos.

Are cancer rates increasing? Genuine question. I don’t know the answer.

Yes at alarming rates yet most people unaware.

'Something's happened': Australians under 50 developing cancer at 'alarming' rates

Australians aged in their 30s and 40s are experiencing unprecedented and in some cases world-leading rates of 10 different types of cancer — and scientists are desperate to understand why.

I remember some very well credentialed medicos predicting this about 5 yrs ago?
My memory isn't the best. I really wish I could recall what they said would cause this.
Oh well, anyway, who cares?

They should stage the protest starting from the Kings Cross tunnel and continue along New South Head Road—right through the area where those who care the least about them live. It’s unfortunate that a few well-meaning virtue signallers might be caught up in the inconvenience too.
