not NPOV

This article needs to be heavily revised or deleted. It's extremely biased and only mentions the fact protestors were injured, not the 27 police and several members of the public who were injured. Many required hospitalisation. There's also no mention of the fact the rioters started physically attacking anyone within range that they felt did not hold their world views. There's no mention of the fact acid, bile and faeces were thrown at police and others, and furthermore, no one credible considers the police response "brutality." The general public was not supportive of the protest nor was any political party only one member of the victorian branch of a left wing socialist party. These protests were widely condemned nationally.

Feel free to add that information then, without the loaded language, provided that you can back it up with sources. Wikipedia is edible by anyone, including you, isn’t that great? Geelongite (talk) 05:38, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
