These young people care enough to turn up and confront the donors and enablers of this govt's cruel policies. Callous govt denial of basic human rights is causing anger and unrest. As it should.

yes assaulting someone who isn't even in the government but a relative of someone who isn't in the government will certainly help things... unbelievable.

SSM icon attends Lib fundraiser. Unbelievable we are seeing rowdy protests directed at this govt? Also looked at footage - totally surrounded by cops and her jacket was intact.Their big black gloves were on her back. Easy to vilify protesters. I wouldn't call them scumbags.

A lot of the refugee groups have condemned & distanced themselves from this group because of this unacceptable behaviour. Protest yes but violence no, you just became what your protesting about!
-
Do we know who the perpetrators were? Were they NewsCorp employees?

Apparently
@rac_sydney , but they have denied the accusations re Christine -
Abbott said ZERO re attack on Sam but frothing at the mouth over this one..two faced prick he is..
-
Abbott & Dutton will use this every way they can...But I still don’t understand why people where not brought in an alternate entrance knowing how big the protest & police presence was!
-
comments coming though was a police stich up ,Christine being ladies lady and all that .footage showing guy in uniform manhandling her ..hmm
-
Were AFP involved?
-
Yup,all wearing sunglasses ..there’s an aap pic of her being “escorted’ with a afp dude pulling on her jacket ...I smell an elderly fish ..

Why target her? She has nothing to do with Manus Island or any federal policies.
-
Why assault anyone? It's not going to help people on Manus. I'm sick of thugs deciding they get to stand over Dastyari or head butt Abbott or assault Forster or deck Rudd's godson...enough.
-
I agree. But I'm wondering if it has something more to do with her sexuality? Because the floodgates are already open for that sort of bigotry.

I hope not.

If you look at the video footage you’ll see the only people with their hands on her are the cops...

Friendly reminder there's 600 men starving to death on Manus
-
we're talking about a woman being assaulted by a mob in public here, not Manus.
-
Manus is exactly what we're talking about
-
No, this whole thread is about a woman going about her business being assaulted in public by a mob, Manus is completely irrelevant in this story
-
Absolutely not, Manus is why the protest was occurring and people who want to focus on the "assault" would rather not think about it
-
You don't belong in the left, your attitude toward a woman being assaulted in public is more aligned with Dutton's bullying, join the Libetals, please
-
This particular incident is unfortunate also because it enabled the media to deflect public attention to a sideshow rather than what’s happening on Manus, what the crowd is angry about. Don’t manhandle Christine BUT ALSO
