rights campaigners right and we, we had those police um infiltrating groups.

I don't think it's beyond the wit of anyone to think that that either was uh TRAs dressed up or police or just… something was just off because there wasn't enough violence between the two men. …

MD: Best case scenario was a massive mistake by the police to let these unidentifiable masked men in because all of us women were terrified.

KJK: Yeah.

MD: We did not understand why they were there. The police had been successfully keeping everyone else away and then all of a sudden there were these terrifying big strong masked men and we didn't know why they were there and we know now that the police knew that they weren't with us because they obviously escorted them away from us and away from the protest and uh and that our own marshals had asked them to leave.

KJK: But I don't so I, I guess it's not really for us to work out why the police suddenly escorted them away. MD: Through the middle.

KJK: I mean that's nuts but I wonder what prompted them to leave because I didn't really notice them.

AJ: Yeah, they didn't come near us. We all had our backs to these guys on the on the um steps we had our backs to these blokes and so there's a few of us milling around once we realized they weren't a threat we kind of turned our backs and we've just got on with it yeah and so the reason that there's no photos out there of the Nazis with us "the Nazis" inverted commas with us is because they were never with us they were like way over there.

We all had our backs we were facing the opposite direction so when the police marched them out they marched them towards the trans rights activists past the trans rights activists, they saluted at the trans rights activist and the trans rights activists didn't even blink and kept yelling at us women.

KJK: Yeah.

KD: It's very strange.

KD: … it is really quite viscerally scary and you think… you have those moments where you think my God all I'm doing is standing here saying: women have the right to sex based rights, stop messing with our kids, let us have our freedom of speech and this is the response people need to start waking up to the fact as to how powerful and how dangerous this movement really is I mean as we know they've infiltrated our, our institutions Our Judiciary our parliaments our media and so on and the fact that even the police are afraid of their violence I mean we need to ask who, who are the baddies here people because I don't think it was the group of middle-aged women standing there in our sun hats a few with our husbands listening to other women speak.

KJK: But look that that that won't stop us uh next stop is wherever I'm going next Tasmania, Hobart, um and then it's going to be Canberra and then we're coming to uh New Zealand which will be interesting I'm not even sure goodness knows I don't think anything can be quite as um Exciting um as today but yeah the speeches from Australian women have just been sublime uh it's like they've been holding their breath
