Jeffrey Combs appreciation

Treat denial

• Delivery workers at StarTrack and FedEx have struck for safer conditions.
• Workers from Cadbury and Accolade Wines have also struck for better pay.

Hi-vis rallies

• Massive rallies in Melbourne started as legitimate CMFEU worker complaints.
• …but were infiltrated by right-wing agitators.
• And cheered on by “citizen journalists”.
• CMFEU boss John Setka has been accused of domestic violence.
• I Don’t Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People.
• Conservatism is fundamentally aligned with anti-vax sentiment.
• Tuesday saw protesters going on a long walk around Melbourne, and up the Westgate Bridge.
• This video of the Australian Army band playing Rage Against the Machine is psychic damage.
• On Wednesday, chaos and cookers were in control.
• Interesting side note: the Shrine of Remembrance was built under a work-for-the-dole program.
• The rest of the week featured cop violence, black-bagging and intimidation.
• At the 2019 IMARC protests, police a rode horse through a crowd, crushing a protestor’s legs.
