A large number of blue ticks want to accuse Liberty Victoria of hypocrisy for not standing up for protest rights during COVID, but when confronted with the fact we did so, they still call for collective punishment and suppression of protest now. Pretty clear where the hypocrisy lies.

Australia's oil and gas producers aren't holding back this morning with their effort to whip up a scare campaign out west. Apparently the end of gas, not climate change, will be the end of the world as we know it.

A ray of sunshine over the weekend - despite the bleak weather and state of the world - was the first ever Liberty Victoria's Rights Advocacy Project conference. Warmed the soul to hear from law students, early career lawyers and seasoned human rights advocates on lawyering for change.

Two years ago Jina Mahsa Amini (22) died in custody after being arrested by Iran’s “morality police” for alleged non-compliance with #Iran ’s laws on hijab. Her death ignited the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests, that spread nationwide since then and has been brutally represed,

The NSW Nurses & Midwives have the best signs! Solidarity with the nurses. Maybe they should march on Parliament and tell Chris Minns that they’re property developers instead? That way they’ll get what they want, and more! #ProtectProtest
