Dealing With Racist Dogs

Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux just finished their Australian tour. They met with resistance everywhere they went, Lauren was even stopped by police when she tried to vilify Muslims in Sydney's Lakemba. Brisbane's turn at showing these Canadians racists are not welcome was July 29 and an event was called for 7pm. The Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre was the venue. A great place for an exhibition of the racism in our town and the resistance against it. About 60 people turned up on 'our' side. Anarchists, Socialists, refugee activists and others. Protesters gathered at the main and back entrance. I did an interview with Tom Tanuki last week about his group and tactic Yelling At Racist Dogs. There was lots of yelling on Sunday at lots of racists, but not a lot of other more direct action. A seasoned Brisbane activist who couldn't attend says it is disappointing the group stood at the taxi rank and didn't even try to take the stairs of the centre which is the tradition. This may have an influence on what the police expect of resistance groups in the future. During this weeks Subversion #1312 local activist and all round genius Gerald Keaney and I debriefed on the event. Hard hitting punk antifascist songs break up our discussion.
