When is the power in charge going to take responsibility and evict the drunks protesters from the island???? Have you had a look lately??? I am driving in front of it daily (very slowly
) and it now looks like a rubbish dump! Good advertising for Perth!
just put massive concrete walls around it and cover the road so we can traverse the island without having to see it . Island is an eyesore anyway .
I think i'm in a minority with this.
I think the protesters are great. They dont agree and they are protesting. There should be more of it in this piss weak country.
I always use the example of Bolivia where the bus fares were increased by an eqivilent of about 5 cents. As such people went ballistic and there were riots all over the shop. People were pissed off and happy to show it. The bus fare went down.
Here electricity goes up 200% and the general population have a winge on 6PR or 720 and thats the end of it. The apathy is overwhelming
Whether you agree or disagree with the cause making your voice heard has got to be a good thing
P.R you are off track. Anyone has a lawful right to protest, they've exercised it and it has been heard.
However you cannot just camp anywhere.
If I park a van in the middle of the carpark at a nice surf break can I live in it and claim I am protesting about something? No, the Council will remove me. And rightly so - I can't just claim I am protesting and set up camp.
It is disgraceful that they claim racism when told to leave as same rule applies to all.
The Indos know how to protest. Fuel goes from 4500 Rupes to 6000 Rupes and they are all on the street.
Yesterday was pretty busy. Next week will be a bit more so.
Care if you are over there.
I agree with the right to protest!
Problem 1: they do not even know what they are protesting about 'cause they have a higher alcohol reading than QI level.
Problem 2: it is cool to protest but do not tiss ppl off by making them 1/2 hour late to work every day.... it is counter productive
Problem 3: protesting in the wrong spot..... Build your slump consulate in the minister in charge front yard ( guess that would not be tolerated for long )
otherwise yeah your right no one really gives a rats
A bunch got on the yellow cat at wellington square at 6:10 last night... no end of "faaaaaark youse white ****s" and other off colour comments yelled at anyone who dared look in the general direction of them... until they got off at Western Power.
I grew up in london and rascism works both ways unless you move on and get over it, the impossible dream
The french are pretty bludy good at protesting about everything
I do love the way the barnetts mob goes up north and shafts the locals , but when they get upset on his doorstep , he handballs it to the local council, and dissapears.
i am confused about how they are claiming soverenty over a man made island that dates back to dredging spoil in 1842
George Arthur would not have tolerated such nonsense in the good old days.... Herrison Island would have been cleared up quick smart.
Anyone read our colonial history and come across 'The Black War' 1820's-1830??? And subsequently 'The Black Line'?
Before anyone comments I'm racist, I'm merely quoting past history....
i dont get it. did we pay them 1 billion $ to take that pile of dredge waste? and they still complain? ![]()
Lets not slander or be racist we forget there is some nice hardworking law abiding Aboriginal people out there !
I personally haven't met any.
