COMMONWEALTH AGENTS from the Australian Border Force will be combining with STATE AGENTS from Victoria Police, Metro Trains, Yarra Trams, the Sheriff's Office, and the Taxi Services Commission, will be using the excuse of 'border protection' to harass, threaten and intimidate people as they pursue their peaceful and lawful pleasure in Melbourne's CBD TONIGHT-AUG 28 AND TOMORROW NIGHT-AUG 29.
Fairfax media wrote that "Don Smith, ABF Regional Commander for Victoria and Tasmania, said officers will be positioned "at various locations around the CBD speaking with any individual we cross paths with".(1)
Notice that the ABF is NOT looking for people that they feel might be guilty of an immgration offence, but, EVERYONE that happens to be unfortunate enough to cross paths with Victoria Police, the ABF, or the Sheriff's Department.
Is this why the Commissioner of Victoria Police publicly asked the Victorian State Government to alter protest laws to stop people using masks for political privacy at protests or in general after the NO ROOM FOR RACISM/RECLAIM AUSTRALIA bigoted protests?
More news as it comes to hand.
