Thanks for posting. Most people seem to think it’s all about the vaccine. 6 hours with no break is dangerous. They absolutely should have tea rooms, we built a setup last year for a massive warehouse with a lot of it outside and everyone was happy. It wasn’t cheap.
It's about the vaccine.

Lunch room issue, masks, lockdown and other measures everyone else is following also bother them to a lesser degree, but mainly it's the mandated vaccine. Many tradies are anti-vaxx and of the qanon persuasion so it's a conspiracy and/or erosion of freedoms
on our site they are all vaccinated, and now we have to lock them out thanks to these ****. 1 more damn week thats all we needed!

such precious damn petals, think of what doctors and nurses are going though, long hours, the ppe is cutting into their skin, the stress of watching people struggle to breathe,

my sister is a cop, we have our differences but shes been working crazy damn hours, she in the anti demo planning team, i dont even know if she got to go home last night.







for (mates with) sake people we all survived the polio vaccine. just get the jab! you now have 3 choices, so damn well do it - or stay home and shut the **** up, because its not all about you.

I have a nephew who is a cop and was working on the weekend at protests in Richmond.

Was hit on the head by a projectile thrown by a protestor, lucky for him he has a hard head and no damage.

My daughters partner is a cop, she's rostered onto the protests tomorrow. Hope she's OK

Yeah, government reckons the protest organisers are using the footage to track the Cops and move in different directions. Late concession is that they can still fly but 1 hr delay on broadcasting, Channels 7 and 9 taking it to court.

Might be a new contender for the dumbest thing the Victorian Government has said in 2021.

Hopefully they all are, my sis went home at 8.15pm, started at 5.30, she will be back again at 5.30am. Who would be a cop?

That’s what guns are for!

Seriously that’s what worries me, she’s 3 inches shorter than me, and a good 12 kg lighter, but she’s tough as nails! She’s been in the force for 25 years so she’s not front line fodder thankfully! But she was in the car all day with the guy who was in control today - and what a fine job they did! Still the way those ‘peaceful ‘ protesters went at the cop cars, it worries me.

Oh and did everyone seethe mrs doubt fire 70 year old that got knocked over? How disgusting!

Speaking of cops and guns, anyone else spot anything unusual about this pic?

The cop on the left has her hand on her gun ready to shoot an unarmed civilian?

Nothing jumps out at me except at least 3 of them seem to be left handed and the women aren't in uniform.
