Aussie 🐠 here. Be aware that when you see clips/photos of the Sydney central station pepper spray, the police were blocking the main exits and corralling people to platforms 15 & 16 before they started spraying.
I’ve seen a lot of media portray it as “people who refused to leave after the peaceful LEGAL protest finished” (implying that this was illegal and not peaceful) but... why were they at central station then? Maybe they were waiting for trains to go home?

Is there a protest in Australia?

Yeah. All across Australia, in Sydney in particular, the police got it declared illegal which was overturned literally 30 minutes before the protest started. It then finished early at 5.30pm to prevent things escalating and the police released a statement that only 3 were arrested as the protests were largely peaceful. Around 7pm they corralled people (not just protestors) into central station, blocked off exits and tried to shove them towards one platform. Then pepper sprayed them when people couldn’t move. They also blocked press from going in as there was “nothing to report”. Only videos I’ve seen on news media is originally from Sky News (Murdoch owned) where the camera angle is behind police and people are yelling at them and the wording I’ve seen is “clash with police”, “dispersing crowds who refused to move on”, “otherwise peaceful protests” etc etc.

here's my prediction.

If Biden wins, the media will begin to message the following;

-Most other people who catch it will experience a bad flu.

-Many other people who catch it won't even know they have it.

-It's not commonly transmitted by touching objects and person to person transmittal is low risk except in close contact.

The media will then message that we should;
