I think it is ironic that an incident 15,000 km away has inspired many Australians to address the treatment and rights of indigenous people in our country. We are only about a century too late. Personally, I very much support the right to protest if it is done peacefully and without disruption. I notice one organiser of the planned protests is WAR (Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance). I do hope people who are planning to protest understand all of the agendas, what they are supporting and the doors they could be opening.
But a very current concern is Covid-19. I would not, at this time, risk contracting the virus and possibly infecting my family. There are other ways to communicate concerns and objections until it is safe to gather and protest. Some pretty ugly things are happening around the world and emotions are running high. Perhaps some people need to take a deep breath and consider what the sensible thing to do is right now.
