'Minns said police had done “everything possible to avoid ... confrontation, starting last week when they begged protest organisers to have it in Hyde Park, where it was safe and a march could take place”.' ☝️ 'Stay At Home, You'll Only Get In The Way' is a classic, but will it suffice? I think not.

The coverage and response from the commentariat and our political leadership to the pipe bomb attack at the Invasion Day rally was so muted, that even I didn’t find out about until the next day. But I know about it now and what it says about us a country, so I’ve written about it here for Crikey.
