‘Double standards’ exemplify how Australians are ‘not all in it together’

[The Lawspeaker]

Sky News host Paul Murray says the weekend protests prove “we’re not all in it together” because they directly contravene what everybody else in Australia has been allowed to do during the pandemic. “Apparently wokeness is the ultimate way you can fight the coronavirus spread,” he said. On Saturday, tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Australia’s cities to take part in anti racism demonstrations, spurred on by the death of unarmed black man George Floyd in the United States. Mr Murray said in a free country, people can protest, but in reality due to the coronavirus crisis “tonight we are not a free country”. “The same police who were willing to fine people if there were too many people in a funeral, sat back and didn’t issue one fine as tens of thousands took to the streets right around the country”. Many Australians have expressed their anger towards the protests which didn’t have anything to do with the protesters democratic right to protest nor about what they were protesting, according to Mr Murray. “It’s about why is their right to protest one that able to move through but your right to say goodbye to your mother, or your father, or your kid; well that had to wait”. Mr Murray pointed to all the rights stripped from Australians during the pandemic including the right to march for current and fallen soldiers on ANZAC day, and the right to mourn loved ones, and how the protests were seemingly exempt from the same treatment.

Yeah we weren't allowed to celebrate the heroes for paying the ultimate price of preserving our freedom and democracy on ANZAC day but BLM protests are exempt
Its especially hypocritical since people with darker skin are more likely to die from coronavirus, and one protester (that we know of) tested positive for the virus. Aus is already preparing for the second wave
