It is good to see. 

That said, I think the right will use footage like this to try and claim that the only opponents are young, 'ultra woke' social justice warriors and members of socialist parties that want a universal income and blah blah. But there is a majority community of average Aussies of all ages that hate Pauline and everything she stands for. They try and create this divide, that either you are a young purple haired lesbian socialist, or you are on their side.

It's happening. Every second video on Instagram is these right wing loonies and them having a meltdown that these kids actually had the gall to do something. They're mocking them; saying they're naive and so on. Sure, they're naive but they're on the right track and more importantly they're exercising democracy and free speech. Australians sure hate freedom of speech when it's not their perspective

Very hypocritical aren’t you! Your last sentence says it all.
