Post by ptfab » 01 Aug 2015, 8:25 pm

Found a link to the protest rally that weekly times referred to. I thought it was a beat up but looks like it is real.
Link below.

This has not been organised by the SFP or SSAA. It's just one fella who made up a date and ran with it. Good on him for having a crack , but a half assed rally with a couple of hundred people will do more harm then good.

Nothing has actually been organised like permits or transport concerns. etc
If all the organisation's call for it and organise members to attend. I'll be there with bells on.
This isn't the time for half assed measures.

Totally agree .... very risky , the antis are likely to gate crash and cause trouble or at least out number us with dole bludging greenies.

I cant see many people going.

then its about time the ssaa earned their membership dollars, stepped in and organised it.

The one thing we need right now more than anything is coordination and organisation

I would go anyway. Fear of humiliation is not a good reason for inaction. There are certain circumstances under which discretion is the better part of valor. But, let's face it, we are behind the curve and just starting to tool up. There is going to be a lot of humiliation and losses between were we stand now and the day we will be taken at least somewhat seriously. When you start with almost nothing you can't wait for the perfect opportunity, it will never come.

I do have one tip about gate crashers. It is good to try to separate yourselves from them physically and even better to find a way to visually identify yourselves. Such as everybody wears a tan hat or a blue shirt or something, if you can herd your cats into obeying :) I once counter-protested about 50 antis along with about 250 of my closest friends. The media reported there were about 300 antis and a few counter-protesters! They are certainly biased, but honestly, I'm not sure they could tell the difference. We were not physically grouped and separated from them. I'm not throwing out more cautions to make your knees even weaker, show up no matter what. I'm just providing some tactics for the future.

By the way, this SSAA you want to organize this to make you more comfortable, they are the same group that you have recently been complaining about throwing you under the bus, right? I don't see how these groups have helped you all that much. If you want change, don't ask these groups what to do, show them what to do.

My girlfriend wants to go to Melb and I will go for a look see. If it is a joke, no loss...

unless I get entrapped with scammy permit only parking, 2 tolls and 5km over the speed limit again like a recent last trip.

As mentioned, shame the SSAA and SFP and all and sundry couldn't band together with a one minded one agenda group hug.

If there is a protest we need to make it very friendly with things like a sausage sizzle,since the Greens say we have a beer in one hand and a gun in the other this has to be alcohol free zones imo.

I'm going in a mascot suit to the one in Brisbane when it happens. also media...nothing worse then the media pretending its a non-event and not giving it any air time. OR a rent a riot group showing up to try and incite a riot by attacking us and being made to look like a violent bunch of idiots.
