#YasminCatley, the #NSW #policeminister, said a #Nazi #rally outside state parliament on Saturday was “deeply distressing”, reaffirming that hate speech has “no place in our community”.

Catley spoke to #RNBreakfast after about 60 Nazi’s, clad in black, stood outside parliament.

The event was #authorised by #NewSouthWales #police. #auspol

More often than not, police are #RWNJ’s.

"Questions are being asked about why NSW Police did not oppose a neo-Nazi rally outside Parliament House. About 60 people, dressed in black, stood outside parliament on Saturday morning..."

“At its core, the National Socialist Network is anti-immigrant, anti-Indigenous, anti-gay, anti-Jew, anti-Islam and anti-anything that does not fit its white anglo-centric worldview. Its version of social cohesion is monochrome and monocultural."

BoM move to axe free flood warning tool has ‘potentially deadly consequences’, Queensland councils say

Bureau of Meteorology says current system will be phased out as it no longer meets ‘cybersecurity, stability and resilience’ standards

The Guardian
Whoopsies!

An old building on a valuable piece of land where a colourful developer wants to build a 61-floor apartment tower mysteriously caught on fire:

"A fire that broke out in an old PCYC building formerly owned by fugitive developer Jean Nassif in Parramatta’s CBD is being treated as a suspicious incident.

"Authorities were called to 12 Hassall Street about 7.50pm on Thursday after reports of a building fire. The blaze took about 100 firefighters to contain. No injuries were reported.

“As inquiries continue, anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000,” a NSW Police spokesperson said.

"The Parramatta PCYC youth charity occupied the Parramatta building for more than 50 years, before it was sold in 2016 to developer Toplace, operated by Nassif, for more than $30 million.

"Nassif sold the site for about $70 million in 2021 to a partnership between Gurner Group and Australian real estate fund manager Qualitas, which has plans to transform the site into a 61-storey tower with 385 apartments. The building is unoccupied."

Some background from The Guardian on the site's former owners, who allegedly has some very interesting political friends:

"Appearing in court via audio-visual link from a prison in Sydney on Wednesday, the 27-year-old lawyer Ashlyn Nassif, wearing an orange tie-dyed top, waved through a pair of handcuffs to the large contingent of family watching in the public gallery.

"Her mother, partner, sister and brother-in-law were all there, having agreed to put up a $2.6m surety to secure her release. Absent was her father, a colourful Sydney property developer whose company, Toplace, is the owner of a multimillion-dollar apartment complex named Skyview at the centre of the police investigation.

"While her father, Jean Nassif, is not accused of any wrongdoing, he loomed large during the hearing."
...
"Most recently, Nassif and Toplace have become the focus of a separate and unrelated probe by a New South Wales parliamentary committee into allegations of “impropriety” against Liberal party councillors on the Hills Shire in north-west Sydney.

"The inquiry – which has drawn in two of premier Dominic Perrottet’s brothers as potential witnesses – was sparked by a speech made in parliament last year by Liberal MP Ray Williams in which he alleged senior members of the party had been “paid significant funds” to install new councillors to support development applications by Toplace. Neither of the Perrottet brothers are accused of wrongdoing."

Suspicious fire on Parramatta site slated for 61-storey apartment

A fire at the old PCYC building on Hassall Street in Parramatta’s CBD is being treated as a suspicious incident.

The Sydney Morning Herald

Meanwhile, you fuckers will try and shut down every single pro-Palestine protest with bullshit claims that they're anti-Semitic.

1. Neo-Nazis fill in Form 1 to inform police of intention to assemble.

2. Police AUTHORISE the assembly.

3. Police OBSERVE the assembly.

4. Police OBSERVE the chanting of anti-Semitic slogans.

5. Police OBSERVE the display of anti-Semitic banners.

6. Police OBSERVE the declaration of anti-Semitic hate speech over loud speakers.

7. The nazis pack up and head home without any police intervention at all.

_____

"The demonstration – which lasted less than 20 minutes in total – was observed by police. The protest was authorised: the group had filled out a “form 1”, a notice of intention to hold a public assembly, which had not been opposed by police."

"The rally was approved despite new laws, which came into effect on 15 August, making it a crime to intentionally incite hatred against people because of their race, nationality or ethno-religious background."

"[NSW State Premier] Minns said he was concerned that neo-Nazis could gather in significant numbers outside parliament house, carrying a racist sign and yelling Hitler Youth chants, and not be in breach of any laws."

THEY WERE IN BREACH OF LAWS, YOU FUCKING MUPPET.

The cops just didn't DO anything. And you think giving them MORE powers is the solution??
