Chinese influence in Australian politics has been a hot topic for quite some time. Tomorrow are council elections in Ryde, where the Chinese hubs of Eastwood and Epping where almost 80 percent are non-english speaking homes.

Am I part of your community? What I thought was an innocuous question revealed just how far away I am from my neighbours.
I expected to make a montage of fistbumps and hugs.
Instead, over and over I was told... No.
I don't have the answers to what this means, but I do know we've been ignoring this for a long time, and this has already happened.. I want to hear from you why we have not we still aren't talking about this.

Trans activists meet conservative transgender activist.
Two trans rights activists slip the police cordon, and approach the women’s rights protest at a distance.
I invite @DanaPhamAU a transgender conservative who has come to protest both groups with her ‘I’m trans and I’m a conservative” sign to speak with the trans activists.
These trans activists express fear for Dana’s safety at the women’s rights protest, and offer to guarantee Dana’s protection if she came to the trans rights side.
Dana queries if her conservative pro life views would be accepted there.
It quickly becomes clear there are conditions: failure to support Refugees, Abortion, Indigenous or other issues would make her presence “problematic”.
Dana declines the offer to join the trans rights protest for fear of her safety from the trans rights activists.
Police notice disagreement and attend to separate the group, protecting everyone from the danger of differing opinions.
The trans activists eventually resort to the invented ‘consent to be filmed’ protection which doesn’t exist, but is used as a flex over others.
