[satire] Concerns protest could ‘impede Sydney drivers’ solved by getting basically the whole city at the protest (chaser.com.au)

Organisers of today’s pro-Palestine protest in Sydney have successfully addressed Premier Minns’ ‘concerns’ about the impact it would have on traffic, by seemingly getting the whole city off the roads and marching along side them.

“Turns out roughly a hundred thousand people wanted to cross the bridge at the time of the march,” said one organiser, “which would have been the worst traffic Sydney has ever seen, but luckily they were all protesters walking around so it was fine.”

The peaceful protest, which Minns wanted to have police break-up by force, has potentially broken records both in terms of protest size, and lack of car accidents in Sydney on a rainy day.
