Blockade Australia have goaded the powers-that-be into showing their hand. Consistently, both federally and in every state and territory, the two major parties have united together in support of draconian new laws that are specifically designed to stifle dissent. In 1970 John Gorton, Prime Minister of Australia at the time stated honestly, "We will only tolerate dissent if it is ineffective."
The main issue that has brought on this inevitable unity is N.V.D.A. (non violent direct action) on the climate catastrophe. Somehow I think we all knew in our heart of hearts that these two players would team up in the end to defend the fossil fuel industry, it was just a matter of time. It is standard practice throughout the history of western 'democracy' (that fun game where the conservative capitalists and the liberal capitalists pretend to be mortal enemies) for capitalists of all stripes to join forces when challenged by a serious threat to their little game of charades. I commend Blockade Australia unreservedly for exposing the true nature of the cozy relationship between the polluters and the pollies
