   No, Aussies are better than that.  Violence, threats of violence or   
   armed insurrection is not our way regardless of how we might verbally   
   villify or castigate our politicians.

   There is no momentum. That demonstration was roundly condemned.  We're   
   all now waiting to see if it was a super spreader event.
