Imagine being so intellectually dishonest you set up a Royal Commission into Social Cohesion that inherently places one small section of society supremely paramount to every other segment, limits civil rights and enforces such strictures with biased laws and official brutality?
Here we Joh again. Violent clashes as Crisafulli government police move in to remove the Goori Camp Embassy at Barrambin Victoria Park, Queensland. Indigenous people & supporters vow to fight on, returning to camp at dusk. Bulldozers scheduled for Monday. #qldpol
