The Mining industry cannot really expect any sympathy for the hostile crowds they have been exposed to this week, after deciding to host an international conference in the wokest city in the Southern Hemisphere.
That’s according to the rest of the nation, who can’t really understand why they didn’t host this in a town where people have warmer feelings for digging shit out of the ground and burning it at an accelerated rate.
Hundreds of activists from 11 different groups tried to block off the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from about 6am to stop the three-day International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC).
Violent clashes erupted between protesters and riot police outside a mining conference in Melbourne, where one demonstrator repeatedly spat on the oppressed billionaires arriving at the venue – as crowds tried to block entrances to the venue.
At least 20 people arrested as the Victorian Police work diligently to improve their reputation as trigger happy mercenaries, and only decided to let off the pepper spray this afternoon.
Police arrested protesters for allegedly obstructing the disabled and wheelchair access into the building, because that’s about all they can get them for in Melbourne – until they adopt Palaszczuk -style anti-protesting laws.
The government has condemned the actions of protestors, with many members of the cabinet apologising to the visiting billionaires for the apparently widely-held belief that burning fossil fuels at an accelerated rate for 200 years might be fucking our planet.
“This is disgraceful behaviour by our environmentalists” says Minister for Resources, Senator Matt Canavan.
“…and to be honest, it’s quite embarrassing for me personally. To have this kind of riff raff happening when all of my employers are in town”
“These protestors need to go out and get a job. Like the 150 jobs that will be created when I finally get Adani off the ground”
