    She was also given a year-long “non-association” order relating to her partner.

    What the fuck? Non-association orders are fairly common as part of bail conditions but handing that out as part of a sentence is just bizzare.

      Yeah it doesn't make any sense... Unless viewed as the actions of a deeply anti-human arm of an anti-human system making an example out of one of the proles for daring to resist. They took away her home and made it impossible for her to seek help from her partner. Fucking filthy awful pieces of shit.

    Australian cops have been taking the piss with the charges against blockade Australia recently. One activist got a year in prison the other day for blocking a coal train.

      lol

      The deputy prime minister, Barnaby Joyce, was furious with the protesters when he visited Singleton this week. Appearing at the train station as a coal load sped past, he claimed each train load of coal was worth about $1m in export value.

      He said that by Monday the blockades had disrupted $60m in exports.

      “If they’ve got other ways that this nation can earn money right now, then we’re all ears,” Joyce said. “[But] in the meantime, we’ve got to make a buck.

      “It’s about $100,000 in royalties, so what you’ve got here is payments for your NDIS, payments for your pharmaceutical benefits scheme, payments for pensions and unemployment benefit.”

      Even Matt Kean, the NSW treasurer and energy minister who has been vocal in his criticism of the federal government’s climate transition strategy, has lashed out at the disruptions, calling for police to “throw the book” at the protesters.

      “Pull your heads in – get out of the way and stop hurting other people going about their lives, running their businesses,” Kean told Sydney radio 2GB on Wednesday.

      There are hundreds of ways to make your views known and advocate for change but risking the lives of rail workers is definitely not one of them.”

        Liberalism in a sentence. 'My civility and order are worth more to me than your future so stop disrupting them or I'll make you'

      I knew someone who was facing real charges for an action she thought would get her released on OR. She was mad, but she also said "at least they're admitting I hurt them." That's the kind of spite that has to motivate activism sometimes.
