VIDEO: 7m: 11 Sept: Sky News Australia: Andrew Bolt: Victoria is a ‘basket case’
Sky News host Andrew Bolt says Victoria has demonstrated there is increasingly one law for the peaceful and another for the dangerous.
It comes after a large Black Lives Matter protest recently went ahead in Melbourne despite being banned by the state’s virus laws; no attendees were arrested or charged by Victoria Police.
Victorian Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton defended the decisions saying “the most significant thing to remember back then … we had around the world cities that were burning, we had protests that were violent.
“We made a decision here that our priority was public order … we had significant concerns that we would have that type of mayhem in Melbourne,” Mr Patton said.
“There seems to be one law for the peaceful and another for the dangerous,” Mr Bolt said. “The easier you are to bully around because you are a law-abiding, nice person … the more your freedoms are actually in danger.
“The state where this is most obvious … is Victoria.
“It really is a basket case … it’s madness there.”

This is an obvious truth. It's why government make examples out of the weak, it's easier and it cows most of the rest into submission.
And it isn't just that your freedoms are in danger, they are TAKEN, forbidden by the government that claims to be for protecting freedom.
Governments do not function by protecting freedom. They function by limiting freedom. The more power government has, the more freedom it limits.
