The Green Left website has filterable listings where you can often find activist events like this: https://www.greenleft.org.au/events?start_date=2026-02-09&search=

Their listings for this nationwide protest are currently incomplete, though, with listings for only 4 of 9 announced cities: Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth. The national poster also lists Melbourne, Brisbane, Hobart, Cairns and Townsville.

So if you're not in one of the cities with a listing already, you'll need to find your local event/group yourself and check their channels, or I suppose wait for a listing to go up on Green Left.

I thought it would be soon. Shouldn't it be before he arrives?

Either way I might go to Brisbane on the day then. 3 hours from here but still...

I wish there was something practical I can do other than just leaving the country. Seeing how much Australia like to suck Israeli and American dicks make my blood boil... Living here I'm part of the problem. One of the supporters. One of American and Israelis dogs...

Living here I’m part of the problem. One of the supporters. One of American and Israelis dogs…

It's the classic dilemma: Leave to avoid being part of the problem, or stick around to fight the problem. It's something I keep thinking about.

To me both work and both won't work. It's just up to what you can deal with or clears your conscience.

If enough people left because of this, the problem would be solved, the dog would lose its teeth. If enough people fought the problem, the problem would also be solved.

The reality is; a ridiculous amount of the population will even consider they should be doing something. Not only they won't, but they will fuel the war machine, vote the vilains to power again and again, buy whatever propaganda they are sold that makes them feel without guilt and still enjoy a first world life built on the exploitation of weaker countries.

Even here, with more informed people we get people posting constant brainwash about scape goats (chinese, immigration, whatever bullshit they watch on tv).

If enough people cared the problem wouldn't even exist to begin with. How powerful is the military, big companies, etc, without slaves to serve them?

So, it's whatever makes you feel better. To me right now is trying to make sure I'm not helping the problem to get worse. I don't care if everyone else is evil and happier because of that. I can't convince anyone to change, so I just want to reduce my own guilt.
