Jesus, that's authoritarian as fuck. This has been a yearly event for ages, no incidents that I'm aware of- claiming it's a safety issue is a poor excuse.

I hope people come out in droves, we shouldn't have to deal with this shit.

What about the rowing club? The kayak fishers? They'll be affected by this too.

Fuck the fucking fuckers

They spend all their energy trying to stop a protest, and put absolutely nothing into doing something about the actual fucking problem. Authoritarian bullshit, fuck Chris Minns and all of Labor, they've become nothing more than the libs with a different name.
