Much like when Morrison told school students to be less activist, everyone is expected to avoid the protests.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has sent a clear message to would-be Black Lives Matter protesters not to attend large rallies today: “don’t go”.

The message is bound to cut through in the same way as his calls for climate striking students to be “less activist” ultimately led to 300,000 Australians not attending the biggest day of climate action in Australian history.
