Does reporting include posing with neo-Nazis? Having thugs posing as security trying to provoke conflict?
Victoria Police has provided a statement following the arrest of Avi Yemini in Melbourne’s CBD on Thursday. Avi was there to report on a student protest which was part of a coordinated nationwide classroom walkout against Pauline Hanson and One Nation.

Was he trying to prove he was brave…? Sorry, no amount of trying to push through cops will convince anyone of your bravery who’s seen you walk around with ten bodyguards against a couple of hecklers

I wonder how this could happen. It's almost as though there was a magical blanket of protection that was suddenly removed, and cases went up. If only there was some measure that we could use to prime the immune system to protect people from the disease....

Some weird NLP-esque call and response from the closing notes of the racism rally: “You are winning yes?! You are winning yes?! You are winning yes?!”

They’re playing You’re The Voice at the racism rally in Canberra. I’d say that’s a pro-immigration song tbh, but racists don’t care about anything other than aesthetics

This is the culmination of the Australian racism tour. He said that, then he made them do this

Big tech is moving in! Data centres are popping up all around Victoria to meet the growing demand for AI. They use HEAPS of water and energy, and are taking up land that could be used for housing, parks or other things communities need.

Labor has rolled out the red carpet for 21 new Very Hungry Data Centres in Victoria, and they don't even know the full extent of the risks. The Greens will stop new AI data centres until we have laws and protections in place - for our communities, planet, workers and artists.

Working-class people make our society run, and we deserve a future that's better than what's on offer from the capitalist major parties and the billionaire-backed 'divide and rule' politics of One Nation.

dave hughes thinks adults with domestic violence convictions should be allowed to harass minors in public. interesting!
There was no threat. He was asking questions and listening to answers. If it’s ok for thousands of school kids to skip school to protest, it’s ok for people to peacefully ask them what they are protesting.

Yeah nah. It didn't happen quite like that. He was asked several times to move along. He disobeyed police directions. He's not a reporter. He's an agitator. He's doing the bidding of foreign entities as an agent provocateur. Rebel News is a foreign far-right publication.
🟠 #BREAKING REBEL NEWS REPORTER AVI YEMENI HANDCUFFED AND REMOVED BY VICTORIA POLICE WHILE INTERVIEWING SCHOOLKIDS WHO SKIPPED CLASS TO PROTEST PAULINE HANSON IN MELBOURNE 🟠 Welcome to Communist Victoria, where asking questions in public gets you put in handcuffs while far left activists pull kids out of school under police protection. While students walked out of class across Australia today to protest Pauline Hanson, including rallies in Sydney and Melbourne, Rebel News reporter Avi Yemini ended up in steel cuffs in Melbourne just for doing his job. That is where Rebel News reporter Avi Yemini ended up in steel cuffs just for doing his job. Yemini was walking through the crowd interviewing teenagers, asking a simple question: why had they ditched class on a Thursday afternoon to protest a democratically elected senator? Victoria Police immediately moved in, slapped handcuffs on him, and marched him away from the rally for "disturbing the peace". Officers admitted he wasn't even under arrest, yet kept him cuffed anyway just to remove a journalist from the street. Think about that, a reporter asking uncomfortable questions gets hauled away in restraints, while the far left organisers who dragged underage schoolkids onto the streets are shielded by the state. Meanwhile, Pauline Hanson had already told the Sydney students to get back to class, pointing out that 51% of Australian 15 year olds fail to meet national standards in maths.

Can't believe this is legal? Neither can we. Labor, Liberals and One Nation all take donations from billionaires and big corporations. That's who they're working for - here's the proof...

I still consider what you are doing is wrong. You are misleading voters reading party names on a ballot paper. Very few will have read your explanation so I don't see way it any different than 20 years ago.
