However ask this question - had the protest and occupation been about Climate Crisis would they have been treated the same?
I didn't agree with what they were protesting about but defend their right to peacefully do so including taking over Parliament grounds.
The point of that doco is in opening the public's eyes to a concerted campaign of social disruption that these organisations are engaged in. Forewarned is forearmed and the actions now being taken to filter out the VFF, FARC, etc. affiliates from local body election candidates is serving that purpose.
