The guardian has started covering the protests. Much better coverage than newscorp as usual, too.

Apparently they just casually drove a tank into the city at 3am on Saturday morning and nobody noticed. So that's fun. Apparently they've also called in cops from interstate to help

Some people in the original post had some questions about whether I had the right product.

Well I went back today and took some more photos to show it more clearly. Hopefully that clarifies that I was holding the right thing.

And they're still at it! This time with garlic from Argentina (still not Australia).

Spoke to staff there who said I'll hear back from head office. I'll let you know when/if I do.

Warning: newscorp (sorry, they're the only ones covering it at the moment)

Despite Victoria bailing on the 2026 Commonwealth Games in a move costing taxpayers almost $600 million, the state has been shortlisted to host another major event.

A fun quote from the end:

As for any potential battle with Perth to host the Gay Games, the minister shrugged off the competition.

"I love Perth, but seriously it's Perth," he said.
