Police in Sydney arrested the leader of an anti-racism protest and five others before the event even got started Tuesday.
The gathering was deemed illegal by courts due to the threat of spreading the coronavirus.
Organizer Paddy Gibson was among six people arrested in a park known as The Domain before the rally was supposed to begin at noon local time.
New South Wales state Assistant Police Commissioner Mick Willing said Gibson and the other protesters were issued with fines of 1,000 Australian dollars ($710, €605) for breaking pandemic crowd restrictions. As Gibson was taken away by police, he told protesters to disperse to avoid arrest. The area was cleared just before the rally was scheduled to begin. …

[[anti-racism protest]]
blm riots (No- they are no longer protests) are the most racist ‘anti-racist’ events-
Were they ever protests?
Resist theys much.
It’s amazing whatsoever officials and the police can do they have a desire to.
Is the dude Irish?
The “blacks” whose lives matter in Australia are aboriginals.
There have actually been Black Lives Matter marches in countries where there are no native born black people, like Iceland and New Zealand.

28 Jul: The Unshackled: Paddy Gibson: Marxist Organiser Arrested at Sydney BLM Rally
by Lucas Rosas
Sydney’s BLM march today was organised by a veteran Marxist activist who believes Australia should be abolished and wants to overthrow the government and implement a totalitarian socialist state. And nobody in the mainstream media seems to want to talk about it.
Paddy Gibson is the man who has recently been featured on almost every media outlet and quoted in almost every newspaper as a Sydney BLM organiser. Almost every journalist has ignored his extremist views. Even after he was arrested today in Sydney while defying a court order against the rally he organised the media continued to ignore the fact that Paddy doesn’t believe Australia (and by extension Australian courts) should exist...
Paddy Gibson has a public record as an organiser and activist for revolutionary Trotskyist groups going back fifteen years. In 2005 while attending Sydney University he was the spokesman for the Socialist Alliance front group “Students Against War” (SAW)...
After participating in the 2006 G20 riots in Melbourne Paddy became involved in the planning of the 2007 APEC protest in Sydney against the visit of George W. Bush. At this stage Paddy was openly an activist for the revolutionary Trotskyist group Solidarity, had been arrested eight times at protests (he would again be arrested at APEC) and was one of sixty names on a NSW Police “exclusion list” of potentially violent left wing extremist activists. None of this is secret, at the time even SBS was forced to ask Paddy whether he thought violently attacking police was justified (he dodged the question). As was revealed later Paddy Gibson along with his Solidarity comrades was part of a push inside the APEC protest organising committee to be even more confrontational with the police...
Since these early beginnings Paddy has stuck with the “Solidarity” group, speaking at their conferences and co-editing their magazine...
Perhaps his enthusiasm for aboriginal causes can partially be explained by the fact that in 2008 Paddy got a job working at University of Technology Sydney as a Senior Researcher at the “Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning” under the supervision of Professor Larissa Behrendt (best known for bringing the “hate crimes” charges against Andrew Bolt). As a good student of historical materialism I’m sure Paddy would be able to identify how his employment interests may have affected his political priorities. After all that’s a pretty cosy job for a fella only three years out of Uni with an Arts degree...
The fact that the media still can’t bring themselves to point out that Paddy belongs to the “Solidarity” group is distressing...
“Solidarity” through their various front groups have been the organiser or co-organisers of almost every left wing quarantine busting protest so far yet almost nobody in the media seems to be able to do the simple internet searches required to notice. Considering that Solidarity can count amongst their supporters Lidia Thorpe the newest GREENS senator from Victoria this should be big news yet isn’t. It’s time to start wondering why.

A small group of Black Lives Matter protesters have gathered on the steps of Parliament House in Sydney to hand over a petition.
It comes after a demonstration in The Domain was quickly dispersed by police, who arrested six people including protest organiser Paddy Gibson, and issued five with $1000 fines.

note the connection to the Greens Party. BLM/Antifa/Dems/gloBULL warming mobs are one and the same
Korea has similar restrictions...
People will be fined for mass gathering...Without permission...
I do not think Australia has First Amendment like United States...
Pay fine for unauthorized mass gathering...Not in United States...I don’t see that happening...
No, Australia does not have a 1st. Amendment. Free speech is not explicitly protected but it is allowable- up to a point.
There is simply no place on Earth, other than The United
States of America, that allows it’s citizens this right and many other, such as the right to own a fire arm and ours are under threat by the mobs and their paymasters the Democrat Party.
For crying out loud why isn’t Trump telling the Feds to
start putting holes in these bastards? This is protest, it’s an insurrection.
Meant to say ‘’this isn’t protest’’.

I believe that United Kingdom also does not have First Amendment...
OK...Australia is part of the British Commonwealth...
“The gathering was deemed illegal by courts due to the threat of spreading the coronavirus.”
Lame reason but at least they took him down.
Of course, all of this is happening here now, too, so I guess this isn’t so unique to Britain anymore.
“I do not think Australia has First Amendment like United States...”
Nor a Second.
bump
Paddy?
Now tell me BLM has ANYTHING to do with police violence against Negroes.
Looks like the democrats are prepping to organize world wide,gee I wonder who is willing to help them?.
