The summary of that transcript is that a state MP for QLD really wishes that they had political stormtroopers who fall under the Executive branch of government so the will of the LNP can be enforced. This includes implying that other MP's have committed illegal acts after being cleared through releasing confidential police reports.

I am channeling Cartoon's layout with this post.

Everyone might have missed it, but on the 4th of June, the Party for Freedom (Nick Folkes' crew; cf. Cronulla MkII, picketing Halal conventions) held a rally against multiculturalism in Blacktown, Sydney. Unsurprising really, this dude barely gets a lot of pull these days, even within ultranationalist circles. It honestly seemed like a big wet fart so I didn't really try any follow up on it with my sources. Media accounts for numbers of Folkes' crew vary widely but I'd estimate (judging from photos) that Folkes' got about 13-17 people, with the counter protesters quite clearly outnumbering them. Eh


What the gently caress are they even protesting. The fat guy with the flag and sign (tracksuit pants) was spotted in Coburg bashing people with his flagpole.


A shot of the counter-protesters from the perspective of Folkes' crew


Taken before Folkes' crew arrived. Almost impossible to ascertain the counter-protestor demographics, although this one was heavily pushed by Antifascist Action/Antifaschistische Aktion.

+++++

In other ultranationalist news, on the 5th of June the United Patriots Front had a love-in at the Bush Pig Inn, Bendigo. This seemed to be a collaboration between UPF and the True Blue Crew (TBC), of Coburg fame, as the Melbourne Antifascist Info page claimed that TBC were doing roving patrols of the neighbourhood and accosting people. In any case, the meet-up only attracted probably attracted approximately 30 people. Have to remember that not everyone here was from Bendigo, so it's a pretty abysmal turnout for what is pretty much is/was Reclaim Australia/UPF heartland.



+++++

Overall, it's been interesting to see how the nationalist/ultranationalist right-wing groups have fared since their peak in 2015 after the Martin Place siege. Apparently the UPF are having a rally in Perth on the 20th of this month, but there doesn't seem to be an event up on Facebook or anything. The Perth UPF is notoriously aggressive, with the last demonstration attracting violence.

This is going to be rambly, but I am studying from exams etc.

Over the past week or so, the United Patriots Front (UPF) have been experiencing some pretty severe internal discord, otherwise known as "The Splits". Amazingly, the divisive topic in this case is "How amazing is Hitler, right?" and you've got the :siren: Brisbane-based:siren: UPF associate Scott Moerland being a front for the "Nazis bad" position, with people like Chris Shortis representing the primary "Nazis good" position. This is obviously pretty ironic seeing as you'd expect QLD to have the shittier opinions, but here we are.

This current split nicely illustrates the geographic and ideological divide in the nationalist/ultranationalist groups existing in Australia at the moment. The UPF & crew are very much a Victorian group, with their maximum power projection to date occuring last year. Although they have expanded to Perth, they still have issues forming stable platforms in places such as Sydney or Brisbane, and this seems due to the fact that existing nationalist groups aren't neo-nazis/willing to tolerate neo-nazis. A great example is the Brisbane RA rally on the 22/11/15, where a few nazis turned out and actively hurt their cause with less radical supporters.

It'll be interesting to see how this impacts the nationalist/ultranationalist movement going forward with Scott Moerland no longer pushing the UPF's case in Brisbane. The UPF Fuhrer, Blair, is an ardent neo-nazi and so is most of the Victorian leadership so really I don't think they'll gain much further traction elsewhere unless we have some kind of terrorist attack or something. The Perth branch of the UPF seems to be okay but we can do a health check when their rally goes off in less than 2 weeks. Additionally, the UPF/TBC are holding another rally in the Melbourne CBD soon™, except this time it's more about flag-pride, or something. They've explicitly said it's not against Islam or immigrants so I can only guess they are trying to drum up more support because they are finding it hard to pull a crowd. Why they'd hold another rally in Melbourne is beyond me, the left-wing activist groups are super active and are now anti-UPF veterans so yeah might be a wet fart, might not be.

And that hed been racially abusing station staff

Feel like i need a bath tho since he was doing full on body contact

It's not trolling if he actually believes it, remember. Don't acquiese to anything you don't have to, if his phone somehow got knocked onto the tracks then v0v I mean he was pretty aggressive and you sound pretty shaken up by it.

If I was thinking clearer though I should have just put his phone someplace inconvenient, like the trash can or in my rear end, rather than destroying it. If I'd done that I'd pretty much be free to go. As it is police will be in touch but at worst I'll just pay damages.

Honestly it'd be really lovely if you have to pay damages when a guy goes around harrassing people and gets his phone chucked somewhere while he was trying to ~photograph a person he was being aggressive to~.

Equality my dear ladies! It's a goods and services tax. They're a product.. End of story. So pipe the gently caress down equality. Just because we have a uterus dosent mean we should be exempt from paying goods and services tax on goods! don't like it you can get your tubes tied and take that pesky old uterus out and not deal with paying $5.99 once a month I'll say it again.. Because most women bitching about this use the next word more than most.. Equality! If you are pissed about there being gst on female products then you don't actually want equality(in which case you should pop back into the kitchen, pretty sure your stove is missing you) can't actually believe this is something woman feel the need to happen like .. Are you serious!? pipedown.
Women fought for our right to vote! And work! And have equal pay.. And this is what you're fighting for!? The right to not pay tax because you're a woman! #greatprogress #goingbackwards

It shouldn't really be legal to buy and sell property, or at least residential property, that can't be insured. Either the government should become an insurer of last resort, or they should be zoned so people can't live there. It's in no one's interest to have people losing their houses.

Prison is a deterrent. The only penalty inside traders will face with a fine is a few years of bankruptcy.

Actually sorry this isn't necessarily correct. If prison was a deterrent, then no-one would really be committing crimes.

Also the current judicial system is pretty badly set up if it's supposed to deter people from committing crimes.
