Anti lockdown - 400
Support for the blackfellas - 50,000
That calculates to a 1:125 ratio.
Looks correct for the smart vs stupid distribution numbers.
Yes, but i believe it is the other way around in the northern hemisphere.

which is maybe why you have so much more death and disruption in both areas.

My next travel will be into the southern hemisphere, i never crossed the equator before. Eagerly waiting for international travel to restart

Got to say I’m feeling a bit disillusioned by it all. I’m also in NSW, we have just been through 3 months of lock down, destroyed our jobs and our economy . Saw one footballer fined and suspended for having a dance with a Couple of pretty girls and then witnessed what happened yesterday. Tonight I had to sign in at my local pub and maintain social distancing. The question I want to ask , are there rules for some and rules for others or are we all playing from the same rule book

That is a very good question, Islander ^^^ that anybody has a right to ask.
But you will have to ask the blackfellas. It was their show.

At a guess...
You know what happened last week
i. The world wide outrage at the George Floyd killing, it was a touchstone in the USA with millions deciding to finally draw a line.
1. The very public airing of that footage of a Sydney cop casually using the kind of brutality that happens every day to blackfellas. This was "perfect" timing, combined with what was happening in USA, to set off an uproar here about the longstanding aboriginal deaths in custody issue.
3. The wilful destruction by Rio of one of the most historically and culturally significant aboriginal sites in Australia - two caves that are the earliest recorded site of human habitation in the continent. 45,000 years ago. Thousands of artifacts.

You don't always get to pick the time when you gotta fight your battles.
It is my guess that the blackfellas just knew this was a crucial time when they must take a stand.
You know what they have to put up with here. You probably know that this is the one issue that brings great shame to Australia internationally. And the blackfellas are sick of it too.
They probably figured it was time to draw a line. All the stars were lined up and there would not be an opportunity like this again.

I thought very hard about it. My decision ws for me only, and i know many will not agree.
I went because the blackfellas asked me/everybody to join them in drawing that line.
I thought it was both a reasonable enough request - and crucially, that these mass gatherings all over the country would actually help put this issue front and centre.

It's about fucking time that this preventable health issue, death by uniform, was addressed after decades of talk talk talk.
Not one cop or screw has every been charged for assault or murder in the 30 years since the damming royal commission came down. Hundreds of blackfellas have been killed, tens of thousands assaulted, in that time.
Ask them, but my guess is they simply felt it was exactly the right time to draw a line.

in Australia, is it not offensive to call them "blackfellows?

suggest u dont ever try that in America
( even i find it offensive)

To me the killing of Breonna Taylor was much more offensive and disgusting
BUT
Derek Chauvin was caught on camera, an his nonchalant attitude of kneeling on Georges neck, with his hand in his pocket while he died......was just over the top
This has been coming since the 60's and trump is only making it worse with every twitter post he makes

a good read;

Why did the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd in police custody arouse a national wave of revulsion? There are two vectors to this wave: The humiliation of American blacks and the horror of white liberals.

To be precise, American police (white or black) killed exactly nine unarmed black Americans in 2019. Whether these shootings were justified is a different issue. That is about one one-thousandth of the 7,407 blacks murdered in 2018 (last year for which data are available), about 90% of whom were killed by other black Americans.

“The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database, down from 38 and 32, respectively, in 2015.

Seems it is becoming more peaceful as the protests /days go on, while in Belgium and Paris they are rioting against the police now

No Richard, quite the opposite.

I’m sure those in Victoria are thanking you and you friends for your efforts, and may I say as a member of the silent majority in Australia, you know, the other 2600000 that did do the right thing. What the !!!!

Not odd really . After 1 add another 1, and it's 2.

Zero cases of transmission were tracked to that weekend of protests all over Australia.
You should know that, so i am assuming you are just going for the low blow for spurious ideological reasons. Following the copy book of those few of the most lunar-right race-baiting politicians who made this same bullshit based slur.
So go hang your "those in Victoria will be thanking you" on somebody else.
(please)
