 David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:59): Like all right-minded people, I was disgusted to see the hotheads and reprobates coming out of hiding in Melbourne on the June long weekend. It all began when scores of young men were seen riding bikes together through the CBD. However, they were not the hotheads, the hotheads were the police. They seemed to be furious that these young men were out having a good time with their mates without authorisation. You know you have an attitude problem when a boy is telling you to calm down. However, this is exactly what happened to Victoria Police. These young men were also not the reprobates. The reprobates were the people on social media who tried to claim they were blocking traffic, as if these boys were not worthy of being traffic, and those who worried about what they believed, as if we need to know what someone thinks before they can appear in public. We should be ashamed that the most rebellious thing a young person in Melbourne can do these days is go out and play. The Libertarian Party stood up for the right of kids to play during the pandemic, and we stand up for them to have rideouts now.
