Honest Government Ad | South Australia Protest Law (Patreon)
Content
Dear PatronsHere's our latest Honest Government Ad which you've helped us to produce. As I mentioned when I shared the preview last night (sorry for the short notice!) we were working on another HGA this month, and were about to film it... But then the government of South Australia decided to rush through a pretty hardcore bill last week that threatens peoples' right to peacefully protest. So we put the other script on hold and jumped onto this right away (it's good to know we can sometimes respond really fast to unfolding events!)Yes, protests can be very disruptive and seriously inconvenient. But freedom of assembly and protest is a fundamental right. Protesting is how we got all the rights we have today - from voting rights (for men and women), to workplace rights, and many more. Which is why there has been a huge backlash against the SA Government's proposed law - and not just from so-called "greeny lefty losers" (quoting the SA Opposition Leader), but also from unions in SA, civil rights groups and human rights groups.If you're in Adelaide, there will be a protest (of course) against the proposed laws on Tuesday morning at 9am. You can find the details here.The bill will be voted on in SA's upper house tomorrow (Tuesday, 30 May).Thank you as always for supporting our work. I'll catch you for our next HGA (the good news is it should be coming out very soon!) - till then, take careGiordanoDirect links to video:Youtube videoTwitter video
