The Lost Battle for the Bill, Critical Thinking, Professor Spike and the Future.

For several weeks the protesters had been turning up daily and sitting on the steps of Parliament, but after the bill flew passed the lower house and ended up in the upper house, the protesters set up camp. For two weeks they slept there, kettled between two parallel rows of orange bollards, installed by the council to try move them on. Instead the protesters used them as seats and the walls of their church.
The only church in Victoria where no vaccination status is required.
A Church whose forming dogma is interwoven with decency. A
church that celebrates mass each Saturday with a march through the city, where vaccinated, who are disgruntled with the Government walk alongside those who have chosen not to get vaccinated.
It is a church being built by the people. A Church called and calling for Freedom.
It’s true that after a great fight, we lost the battle of the bill. It’s also true that as the police move us on, a thunderstorm washed all of our chalk writing off these steps. But this isn’t the end. This is just the latest test of our resolve. It’s as if life is asking us two questions.
What do you want? . .Freedom.
When do you want it?

Maybe the third question is, what do we do now?
