I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

Going by the lack of fencing around the stairs, I don't even think it's from Sydney.

They boarded the train at Artarmon and police stopped the train at North Sydney.

quote:

Six people have been arrested and 57 infringement notices issued after a group of men wearing all black, including balaclavas, sparked a police operation in North Sydney on Friday.

A train travelling into the CBD abruptly terminated at North Sydney Station due to the operation, which started about 11.30am after police were notified the group had boarded a train at Artarmon.

A large police presence, including officers from the riot squad, cleared the station and waited for the group of "approximately 61 people" to arrive.

They were then confined to a handful of carriages.

"The group all had their faces concealed and were carrying a number of items, including shields and a flag," NSW Police said in a statement.

"The items were seized by police. During the operation, police removed members of the group individually to collect their details and issue a move-on order."

Members of the group also produced a banner referencing a Neo-Nazi group.

The operation led to Sydney buses diverting services to the Pacific Highway, missing up to two stops.

Witness Jase Kerr was on the same train heading to Australia Day celebrations in the city after getting on at Chatswood.

Not long into his trip he noticed the train switch onto another track and slow down, and was eventually told it would be terminating.

He said the carriage was half-full of men wearing all black.

"From what I could see, it looked as though the carriage was half full of them, when I saw them," he said.

"You could see police questioning them ... I felt that I'm going to have to watch my step here, if these guys did get aggravated or that they could potentially get violent.

"I was cautious, there was a bit of fear there."

After leaving the train station, the group congregated at nearby St Peters Park where they started chanting racial slurs and sharing anti-vaccination comments— and singing.

However, they were soon dispersed by police.

In a statement, Premier Chris Minns condemned the actions of the men.

“Normal people don’t celebrate Australia Day with a balaclava on," he said.

"Due to great police work millions of Aussies were able to celebrate and come together without a potentially ugly confrontation.

"There is absolutely no tolerance for this behaviour."

The operation concluded just after 4pm and two of the men arrested have since been released.

Police say their investigation into the incident is ongoing.

That's always puzzled me. You'd think we won the world cup or something. Did people actually give a gently caress about yachting back then? Did we have that little to celebrate as a nation?

In fairness, noone had pried the cup out of the hands of the New York Yacht club for a hundred and thirty odd years, and the hoohah about the winged keel was pretty interesting.

It also gave us the boxing kangaroo flag - whether that has been a curse or blessing, only time will tell.

I haven't seen him in at least a decade. He was a really nice kid, I'm hesitant to google him because if he turned into a QAnon crazy or something that'd be super disappointing. :(

E: it turns out he emigrated to Ireland and had a family :3:

I see Aussies confusing "then" and "than" a lot now. To my Boomer ears they don't sound at all alike but it's been very much a US thing for a long time.

Forfeited car turned into road safety ad as part of multifaceted push to stop speeding drivers

quote:

Police seized the Lexus after its 26-year-old driver was clocked doing 205kph on the Forrest Highway in WA's south-west, where the limit is 110kph.

The state's Road Safety Commission has kitted the car out with road safety messages to display by roadsides.

The commission plans to later sell the vehicle — valued at around $20,000 — with funds to go to WA's Road Trauma Account.
