Does anyone know what they are actually protesting about? I can understand it happening in the US, but just seems like a bunch of dole bludging hippies are looking for a reason to start some shit.

[Frenchy]

After much organisation and deliberation, a date and location has finally been decided for Occupy Melbourne - the international day of protest.

It has been decided that the rally will begin at City Square on Saturday October 15, commencing at 10am.pingOccupy Melbourne is a non-violent protest as a means of sending a message to the financial sector worldwide. This day will be an international day of protest, with rallies being held at numerous locations worldwide, and simultaneous protests currently being planned in other Australian cities such as Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Sydney.
ping
This rally is nothing to begin a war over, though, with the organisers stating that they expect non-violence towards all, co-operation with police, commitment to clean occupational space, liasing with local business and acceptance of different views whether they be left, right or otherwise.

This rally is part of a global movement and is the perfect opportunity for anyone interested to have their voices heard.pingFor further information, visit Occupy Melbourne's official website.

And, I'll say it for the third time.


Unfortunately I think some of the Australian protesters aren't quite grasping the concept of what the protests are even for - complaining for the sake of complaining, I guess. For instance, you've got the old man/woman down the front with the "Australia has a black history" shirt on...the fuck does that have to do with the big banks, the stock market and other fiscal issues?

While similar issues may exist here in Australia, they are no where near as bad as what they are in Europe and America, and more than likely never will be. If they're complaining about jobs, then the pingpingpingpings need to get off their asses and get a job - there's plenty out there.

PS. I did lol at the reporter/journalist assuming every phone there was an iPhone:

Police in full riot gear with batons drawn were used to clear the protesters at City Square with hundreds more watching on with iPhones and cameras recording every move.

[TJ]

Are they protesting because they are jelly that others have more money than them?

[SircatmaN]

They had a lady on the radio yesterday talking about occupy Perth (which they are doing for Chogm). They are protesting about how the rich are rich and poor people are poor. SERIOUSLY. Fair call in America where the rich get richer and the poor get nothing but these lazy dole bludgers don't realize this government and country pays them for nothing, will give them free accommodation and supply their fucking drug habit and they still whinge.
When asked questions about what they were trying to achieve they didn't have any idea, there answer was jumbled and made no sense. They whinged about how rich people like Twiggy Forrest are. The pingpingpingping is rich because he worked his ass off and almost got bankrupted several times. He also donates a shitload of money and pays outrageous taxes that funnel there way back to these fucking hippies.

Its like the guy living in tents down south whinging because the government hasn't given him a free house yet. The guiy has like 6 kids and his wife is pregnant, has no job and doesn't look like he is applying for one living in the bush. The dudes worst enemy is his own dick, stop having fucking children and expecting me to pay. I pay for my own kid.

[duste]

They whinged about how rich people like Twiggy Forrest are. The pingpingpingping is rich because he worked his ass off and almost got bankrupted several times.

He also holds on to his money as long as possible before being forced to pay up, among other dodgy things that forced his retirement from CEO at FMG. ;)

But yes, you're very right. Without a unified goal, how do they expect to achieve anything?

My point is he did what he had to and worked for it, he didn't sit around in a government given house taking drugs not working and expect it all to be given to him.
I see the same thing between me and my girlfriend atm. I want stuff and I work my ass off to get it, I worked 2 jobs to get my house and now Im also at uni at night. She does nothing and just whinges that she doesn't like her job and gets annoyed when I go and buy shit I want, she thinks its not fair. No whats not fair is I spend every minute of everyday working my ass off for what I want and then have someone who does fuck all turn around and say its not fair that I buy a video game?
Yes I just turned this protest personal.

[Ryan1080]

I'm off to Melbourne next week for the Cup and that, those hippie pingpingpingpings better fuck off by then!

I don't see why they are protesting in Australia? In the US, sure the financial institutions were greedy and caused the GFC, then got bailed out with taxpayers money. Fair enough for them to have a protest about that. But here? None of it has happened in Australia, so what the fuck are they protesting about??

Compare the videos of the yanks speaking out during their rally, whatever they say I suppose makes sense, they're protesting about something specific, and they want something. I'm yet to hear an aussie protester say what they're specificaly angry about, and what they want changed.

Yes, it's a protest for the sake of a protest! Stupid pingpingpingpings!

Its like Sam Newman doing street talk.


Mind you the average person wouldnt be on the street when the media goes hunting for the people's opinions.

[SircatmaN]

Anyone who has been unemployed for more than 3 months and claims its not their own fault is stupid. The reason I say 3 months is because no matter how qualified you are, by 3 months time your savings will be spent and by that stage you should be looking for any work possible.
People get no qualifications, do no work experience and don't do an apprenticeship and then complain that there is no work for them, its their own fault they can't get a high paying job or have to do a shit job. There is always work! People just need to get off their high horse at times.
But to be fair I know this isn't what we are talking about exactly, it just pisses me off.

That's a pretty broad generalization, i have a friend who hasnt had a job for three years by choice because he made quite a bit in the property boom. How can you say anyone's situation will take 3 months to run out of money?

[fsbk]

why don't they all protest by collecting money for people in africa/the middle east who are starving and being murdered. a few hundred (thousand?) in the city marching with buckets collecting for charity would be a nice gesture against corporate greed etc.

i'm all for protesting, but just occupying a space and chanting cheesing lines doesn't really seem to be doing anything constructive.

[mehow2g]

Personally any form of anti gov/rich protests is good it shows how powerful people are and it shows how much power Police of on people doing nothing wrong.

There is alot of footage of Police bruetality that doesnt get shown on the news at the Occupy whatever cities in America.

Atleast they are fighting for something useful.

It might be, if he's not asking for free money no problem. Its when people whinge they need money and can't pay their bills but refuse do look for work unless its CEO of fucking microsoft or something.

Occupy the Third-Person exactly, the police are the 99%, imagine if they stood with us. as are the military. unfortunately they are trained to take orders and never question authority. thus they become tools of fascism. violent tools.

Serious question here, do you believe the legitimacy of the protests in Sydney were undermined by issuing a list of requests for "free wifi" ect and what other issues (if any) besides the apparent corruption of our financial & political system by "corporations" do you believe the Occupy movement in Australia stands for. Personally I realize that things aren't great for everyone but I think that on balance life's pretty damn good here

Yep dere be some hippie trolling win here.

Adrian Altieri The world is the way it is, a small protest by a group of people with nothing better to do than complain that they have less money than some rich person who studied and did the shit necessary to become wealthy will do nothing. The general populace do not care for your plight, in fact, they think you should get a fucking job and work for your future.

I had to share with you today’s energies from the Mayan Calendar as they are pertinent to our cause. I follow them daily especially as this current age of 5,000 yrs, ends on 28 October 2011 (Yes the day of our Occupation). From the 29 October we will start the new age, the Golden Age. We move from the Age of the Mind into the Age of Unity Consciousness and Spirit. I hope that gives you inspiration :)

"A great day to give thanks for the well-being, wealth and abundance in your life, and to ask for more without any guilt or timidity. Despite Western values of humility and frugality, ours is a society that worships wanton consumption and materialism that exceed the bounds of sustainable prosperity. Native people like the Maya, on the other hand, have no issue with wealth. For them, prosperity is a perfectly acceptable and desirable part of life. But they know how to balance their needs and desires with what the Earth and their communities can provide.



LOL Mayan calendar FTW people !!!

They're organising a rally called Protest CHOGM for Justice and Climate Action, not Racism and War.

I did not know that the queen was here to pollute and tease/kill boongs?

"Brendan Jones Seriously? Are you just picking causes out of a hat? Climate change is a load of shit, first off. That's not to say that we shouldnt look after the environment, just that climate change has been happening since before man started cutting down trees and burning fossil fuels.

So what injustices is CHOGM bringing to you? If there wasn't nut jobs with bombs "protesting" then the heightened security wouldn't be required. Otherwise Perth still manages to run normally day to day, just there's some old guys talking shit in the convention centre, meaning it is actually used for once.

This isn't fucking woodstock, people. I don't see the Queen rolling into town, proclaiming the benefits of racism and war."

[Brockas]

you claimed abstudy? really? are you fucking serious?

its common knowledge that you're not that sharp, but do you genuinely not see something hypocritical with disrespecting aboriginals when you are, yourself part aboriginal? and even claim aboriginal benefits? what the fuck? how is that even justifiable?
do you have problems processing thoughts? are you sure you didnt apply for a mental illness benefit and they just felt so sorry for how unfathomably stupid you are and told you that you're 1/8th torres strait islander? i mean do you just wake up every day and follow loud noises and flashing lights?

Climate change is a load of shit, first off. That's not to say that we shouldnt look after the environment, just that climate change has been happening since before man started cutting down trees and burning fossil fuels.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/opinion/be-prudent-with-climate-claims/story-e6frgd0x-1226177730473

Copied the bullet points (a speech from an archbishop of all people but non the less)

Claims of atmospheric warming often appear to conflict and depend upon the period of time under consideration.

► The earth has cooled during the past 10,000 years since the Holocene climate optimum.

► The earth has cooled since 1000 years ago, not yet achieving the temperatures of the Medieval Warm Period.

► The earth has warmed since 400 years ago after the Little Ice Age three centuries ago.

► The earth warmed between 1979 and 1998 and has cooled slightly since 2001.

The following facts are additional reasons for scepticism.

► In many places, most of the 11,700 years since the end of the last ice age were warmer than the present by up to 2C.

► Between 1695 and 1730, the temperature in England rose by 2.2C. That rapid warming, unparalleled since, occurred long before the Industrial Revolution.

► From 1976 to 2001, "the global warming rate was 0.16C per decade", as it was from 1860 to 1880 and again from 1910 to 1940.

[brynj]

Pell used a lot of old info in his speech, all references are prior 2001. The IPCC has released more information which contradicts what he has chosen to use to support his argument. So it's kind of like using quotes from doctors in the 40's who said smoking is good for you.

There's no need for scientists to make things up about climate change if there is evidence. The guy has some good points, like creating economic policy driven by scientific facts, but the points he uses to 'prove' his scepticism are pretty useless.

Alot of the IPCC stuff needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, they have a vested interest in publishing data that conforms to the global warming theory. There's huge amounts of conflicting evidence of climate change, and depending what you pick and choose you can extrapolate totally different predictions. Funny how anybody that doubts it being anthroprogenic gets called an idiot though, so much for science being looked at methodically without any emotion.

[Lmx]

84 million per year isnt filthy rich?

[mr_mike]

i dont think that 84mil goes straight in her pocket to buy corgees and nice coloured outfits. I'm guessing it pays for all her staff and the upkeep of all the buildings aswell as any other royal appointments. Have a look at the entourage that followers her around the world not just the ladies in waiting but cooks, drivers, personal assistants, PR staff and a huge bill would be security. All these people need to be paid and i'm sure that aint cheap. Queen probably gets fuck all left for her self.

back on topic, my brother has been making heaps of signs for these hippy fuckers, he dont care what they whinging about he just wants to do some arts and crafts and go taunt some police. My parents are waiting for the phonecall that they have to come bail him out of lockup

[Buckets]

Did the hippies actually get up to any mischief today or did they fail at that too. I don't see anything on Google News so I'd say it was a fizzer.

[duste]

upkeep of all the buildings

From memory all the royal property is in the name of the government, so tax-payers pay for the upkeep of said buildings.

But yes, back on topic. Did anything end up eventuating from the planned "protests"?

[Fryman]

I wouldn't say filthy rich. The royal family don't have a lot of money anymore!

[Tre-Cool]

isnt the royal family a major share holder in Rio Tinto?

[fourseven]

Firstly, the money she gets from the government each year goes into a trust for the nation. Not in her pocket. She has 17 billion in a trust, in the name of the nation.

The Royal Family is worth fuck all.


The figures revealed by Buckingham Palace show that the Royal Family could be broke by 2012.

The Queen was forced to borrow 6.5million pounds from an emergency fund so that she could carry out her duties last year.

She has only 15.2 million pounds left in reserve and might have to withdraw another 7.2 million pounds to for basic expenses in 2010.

The Queen receives 7.9 million pounds of public money every year to pay for staff and other costs, but according to Chancelllor George Osborne this sum will remain frozen for the coming year.

[Fryman]

that is the right image to portray during times of austerity in the UK.

If needs be she can sell this off at any time to generate income. Take it as somebody who knows, she's not short of cash in the slightest.


check this.. http://www.thecrownestate.co.uk

(http://www.thecrownestate.co.uk)7 billion pounds cap. 232 million generated 2010-2011. 15% goes to her to fly the plane paint the palace etc. She (and the company im currently working for) owns %47 of the uk and the whole coast line + 12 miles off it.

This is dating back 100s of years....

Bitch is not broke, just cleverly masked. Which is good because my contract rates are quite healthy.

This is one of a set of significant investments.

[fourseven]

We aren't talking about the same thing.

Her financial capabilities and entitlements as Head of State have nothing to do with her worth. She is neither the appointer nor the beneficiary of the trusts that the billions of dollars of assets are in. She cannot sell off assets for her own personal benefit eg. to buy her own houses, cars, Playstations. For anything to be converted to cash it must directly benefit the beneficiaries.

From the website you quoted:


We are governed by an Act of Parliament. The property we manage is owned by the Crown. It is not the private property of the Queen. We work supportively with government; in Westminster, in Scotland, in Wales, Northern Ireland and at a local level.

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary is a broke bitch! As Head of State sure, she's baller. But what's it worth if you can't use it to buy coke, fund personal holidays or buy the latest Bentley in your own name?

[Fryman]

that's a matter of judgement and the definition of net worth.. its going to be a little different for the head of a monarchy, rather then a private individual who's richness comes from their capability of spending upon themselves and liquidity..

Its funny working for a company that is not government, not private, not individual, has no trading business number or VAT (GST) registrations... and yet works as a private firm with savvy investments.

This is only one "business unit" if you can even call it this!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Estate

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Estate)

I suppose by any assumption (the publics view) that she is broke, but I don't see it at all... and the crown laws have the prospects of overwriting parliament has to say about shit anyway.


Semantics aside, there will never be a shortage of money unless the ass falls out of the world economy.

wait what? I hope she messes up your rat race 9-5 :D

[mr_mike]

well on the news clip before some of the flags or signs included "Tony Abbot is a douche bag", gay rights, aborginal rights, CHOGM, Occupy Perth and a CMFEU flag was also being waved about work that one out

[duste]

You guys need to distinguish between CHOGM protesters and Occupy Perth protesters.

Some of the CHOGM protesters were there for genuine reasons, in that album I posted early there was a group of Africans (black and white) protesting for democracy and fair elections back in Zimbabwe. That sort of protesting is fine with me tbh.

Occupy Perth protesters, however, can go eat a dick and board a flight to America if they want something genuine to complain about.

I went in to observe the protest yesterday and have respect for those who participated. First time I have seen a police person all year. Where are they on every other day of the year when crimes are being committed?


When you have a dead child because of corporate greed you might look at things a bit differently. Some of you people haven't got a clue about the things that are going on in your own country, have you?

Using their iPhones/iPads to tweet or post on Facebook about how they're going...

[Ryan1080]

Got this in my email, so spot on:


An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A."

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.

The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.



And to qualify it all………..


"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for,that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

~~~~ Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931

[protecon]

...

Why do we have different tax brackets in Australia then? Why penalise someone for earning a higher wage?
