EXTRACT:—From Patriot Report filed with Stop the mosque in Bendigo FB page 30/8/2015
“The drama started when the lefties started to burn an Aussie flag while at the front of the steps of the Town Hall. This was second one they burned for the day. The first one no one could get hold of it. It was in the middle of them behind police lines down at the Mall a couple of hours earlier.
Second one they burned 5 metres away right in front of the cops who they did nothing. The cops were told 4 times by patriots that they needed to stop it or they would be inciting a riot.
The cops refused to stop the burning of the flag. 150 guys then lunged through the cops to get at the flag. They got through three police lines until the police then produced 10 cans of mace and started to spray the patriots trying to get to the flag. I saw a guy with a prosthetic leg shoved to the ground twice by police. “
COMMENTARY: So now we have the situation where Police regard loyal Australians—the defenders of country and flag as the “offenders” —and the actual traitors who go about destroying the symbol of Australia—as those that need “protecting”.
As a community we need to give this scene some serious attention.
The ones who go a fight wars for our nation are not the flag burners—it is the other guys—the Patriotic Australians. They have always gladly gone off to protect our ways, our culture and nation. What is a nation if it isnt the laws we have created for ourselves, our heritage and our national pride.
Today however, we witnessed our police use capsicum spray on young men defending our flag on our streets.
These men were understandably outraged when another Australian burned our flag in front of them, as a deliberate sign of disrespect for their commitment to our nation.
The Police however, who are meant to be the agents of the Government—who in turn are servants of the people represented by THE FLAG—stood by and did nothing. That is a gross dereliction of duty to the Australian people.
Then for Police to turn on Australians trying to stop the desecration of that flag and spray them with mace for being outraged at this offence is lunacy. It is like police pepper spraying a man for trying to stop a rapist raping his wife—happening in front of him—because he tried to charge through police lines and stop the attacker committing the crime behind the Police.
An offensive social crime was being committed—the most offensive crime you can do to an Australian—and the Police defended the perpetrators.
We note that the Victorian Police Minister is the ex Assistant Federal Secretary of the Trade Workers Union, the same union his father headed up in Victoria. I have a problem when Unions have any control over our Police force.
As a member of the public I am shocked at the misguided alliances of the Victorian Police Department. Since when does the Police turn on Australians for protecting our symbol and flag.
All those patriots sprayed should file a class action against the Victorian Police. Crime—TREASON.

The lines must be maintained and if flag burnings break it then all hell breaks loose. They preserved the peace by maintaining the line. Charges were not laid. I support this cause, but do not condone violence or property damage in seeking to get the message of it across. The police did a terrific job I thought and all praise to them, for there are those amongst them that also believe in this cause, people forget that these are people doing a job and that they are family men and women just like everybody else.
Before any demonstration or rally Police are given instructions as to what to expect, what to watch for and how the peace is to be upheld. But most of all you are told to maintain the lines.
Keith Healy It is about time the whole of our WORLD LEADERS stood up to be counted and get rid of this menace ..Our Fathers and Grandfathers did not go to War and fight for us to be Free only to have these PIGS burn our flag . Send them all back to their country and if they want to fight… pick a fight …and we will all wipe them out as a Nation under one FLAG. AUSTRALIA FOREVER ( R.A.I )
Sorry Garry, but the police should have stopped the flag burning. It may not be an offence per se and you say no law was broken, but that has never stopped police from acting to preserve - as they say - the ‘peace’. I would have thought that lighting a fire or similar in a public place and potentially causing injury would be ample justification - and they need only prevent - not lay charges. The ‘rape’ comparison you mention is distasteful - but other analogies can be put forward that arrive at the very same destination: that being police looked on and allowed an act that desecrated the very symbol that stands behind their own service to the community. By allowing this act, they condoned through inaction, the incitement of other citizens - in doing so, threatening the ‘peace’ which they then quelled by use of force. Is this what we as a community, are coming to? Its outrageous.
I think we need to be petitioning to make it illegal to burn the Australian Flag! The police were there defending the safety of all Australians on both sides, but they are bound by what is lawful not what is moral and its a sad day when people are penalised for defending our flag.
Well said David Langdon I agree with ALL you said. I am so over the corruption and graft that every thing the Labor Party has had to do with consists of. The are proving they are implementing the Fabian/Marxist initiatives Hawke spoke about in his famous Fabian Speech in 1984 with Whitlam the Grand Poo Par at the time. But have they forgotten the magic word ex PM Hawke used it was “gradualism”! They are becoming too obvious.
“MINDFUL that the Australian Labour Party is controlled by Fabians, whose secret aim is the global socialisation of Australia, by a combination of stealth, deceit, and gradualism.
“I gladly acknowledge the debt of my own government to Fabianism. . . . . . The Fabian Society acknowledges the principle tenet of Marxism, the abolition of private property, in this case to own land. Then they align themselves with the non-violent arm of Marxism by accepting the non-violent road of patient gradualism to total government.” Statement by former Prime Minister Bob Hawke, in his speech to the Fabian Society (of which he is a member), in Melbourne, May 8th, 1984:
So the Victorian Police Minister is the ex Assistant Federal Secretary of the Trade Workers Union, the same union his father headed up in Victoria. I am so disgusted at their refusal to act to stop the flag burning but thankyou! This has answered something that has worried me for a long time. That is why there has never been fraud charges pressed against Juliar Gillard and NO charges of rape against Bill Shorten Can someone explain the difference in the recent accusation of sexual abuse by a 16yo girl against a lady, who was in the public spotlight at the time, like over 20 years ago and a rape accusation by a 16yo girl at approximately the same period of time against a man who at the time was hardly heard of. One had no case to answer due to lack of evidence because of the time period the other was charged and tried and found guilty by a one man jury. Not good enough either way. Stinks really
We are getting just like England,why cant our cops protect the aussie flag what a load bull shit…
Shame the Cops??? Treasonous Police. OK people tell me what were they to charge the idiot lefties with? You armchair critics who have never been in a demonstration as a policeman there to keep the peace do not know what it is like. Your stupid quotes in this article and the comments show just how sad you are. Yes, I am outraged at the burning of the flag but there is no offence in doing so. Comparing the incident to rape shows just how frigging feeble minded you are. Get real and understand the police have a job to do and if the crowds stay peaceful so do police.
Shame the cops didn’t just pull out their pistols and let the cunt (that burnt the flag) have it.
Actually if it wasn’t for the actual traitors running VicPol (influenced by Islam and Sharia) the local beat and response cops would’ve done exactly that.
SHAME on the treasonous Victorian Police force, they take their money and then fail to protect the very flag that many of their ancestors died for.. I hope that when they get home with their wives and watch their kids happily playing, that they realise just how much they have let their families down, by encouraging those who were burning the flag of the very country which this despicable police force are supposed to protect. I am sure that the Muslim community will now take pleasure in realising that the police are with them.. NO decent Australian could or would stand by and see their flag (the symbol of their country) desecrated in such a way.
