Police across Australia issue warning on protests

Finally grown some balls - make 'em sign up for a licence, bill them for the police presence and any damage:-

"With pro-Palestine rallies and protests scheduled this weekend around the country, police agencies have taken the rare step of coming together to warn participants about illegal behaviour.

The Australian Federal Police, along with all state and territory police, said in a joint statement there would be "no tolerance" for lawbreaking or violence.

"In Australia, there are offences that prohibit behaviour that incites or advocates violence or hatred based on race and religion, including the display of prohibited symbols in public under these circumstances," the statement read.

"It is also a serious offence to counsel, promote, encourage, urge, instruct or praise terrorism."

Plans for rallies this weekend and on October 7, the anniversary of Hamas' deadly surprise attack on Israel last year that saw 1200 Israeli people killed and more than 200 kidnapped, have sparked controversy this week.

NSW Police announced yesterday that an October 6 protest would go ahead following an alternate route after securing an agreement with protest organisers that no Hezbollah symbols or flags would be displayed.

The plan for a protest on October 7 has been withdrawn, but a vigil will take place instead.

Israel's retaliation against the Hamas attack has seen more than 40,000 Gazans killed, according to local health authorities, while almost all residents have been displaced from their homes.

Israel has recently opened up a new front against Hezbollah in Lebanon, with fighting and airstrikes intensifying there.

A Sunday protest is also expected to ahead in Melbourne, followed by a vigil and procession on Monday.

An Adelaide protest will also go ahead after police said organisers had satisfied all legal requirements.

However, it's expected officers will be out in force at all events.

"Police are lock-step in keeping Australians safe, and continue to work with all Australians, visitors, stakeholders, community leaders and leaders of faith to ensure Australian laws are understood," the statement read.

"Police are planning and preparing for upcoming protests in some states and territories."

True enough. As long as the police remember their counter-riot training, they should be able to handle the protests getting out of hand.

Australia has a lot of political freedom to the point that the major powers sees Australia as the socio-political variable of the world. We are such a middle power in the world that, there are plenty of international observers that take note of our State elections (never mind just the Federal elections) to determine international humanitarian policies.

The Minister of Israel won't need police protection, if the police do their jobs professionally in dealing with the protestors. The Minister of Israel will just use his adequately trained personal security.

The lamination of Hezbollah signs will be dependent of the illumination of the sign's message. If the pro-Hezbollah signs are academically elucidating, then there should be an eradication of the Israel-Palestinian elimination of the socio-political democratic progression.

Ahhhh. You wrote like you worked there. They are quite tough people over at my section of the state.

My writings are those suggesting that I am a criminal profiler. But, I am only an unaccredited psychologist. I am also an unaccredited police marksman. However, my skills have waned, due to not picking up a rifle for over 10 years.
