Unoccupied - 'Occupy Sydney' activist speaks to Sunrise as protests spread

[MrBennyboi1990]

DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH

[MrBennyboi1990]

OCCUPY IS A LIE THEY TAKE AWAY OUR SILENCE OUR HUMA RIGHTS

PEOPLE NEED TO READ THE DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS OCCUPY PEOPLE ARE DUMB

[gowmic]

They should have thrown the dimwitted protesters in the yellow truck. Bunch of no hope losers.

[Tehpolev]

@gowmic they should of thrown them in front of the yellow truck, who needs whiney bitches.

[gowmic]

@thetwentyfourth You are the sort of person that isn't happy unless they are unhappy. Try working hard and see how that goes. Stinking up city streets (which capitalist money built) isn't going to get you anywhere. If you are so against capitalism find a nice communist country and move there. I hear North Korea is nice this time of year. You are right about one thing. You are the 99%. 99% of you are sheep who swallow the slanted message the other 1% preach as you can't think for yourselves. FLOP

[thetwentyfourth]

@gowmic No, I'm actually a very happy person, always seeking to grow. I just think we are on a dangerous trajectory and we need to have more say in our future.

[gowmic]

@thetwentyfourth And standing around in city streets is going to change the trajectory how?

[lumurka]

These protests are mundane and boring so they bring little in the way of media coverage and as such fail to promote your cause.

I'd suggest you bunch of hippy lowlife weak COWARD fucktards grow some balls and start a street riot. Urban warfare - The Ferals v The pigs.

.... but I suppose you too lazy, stupid and unorganised to ever provide much entertainment so eat shit and die the lot of you communist loving fucktard ferals.

[theliberator1]

@lumurka most of them are probably too stupid to figure out how to make a few molotovs and aerosol bombs.

doesnt take a genius but damn these people really think it does!

[liabilitymate]

These lefty cops - the banksters private commo gang, fuck off and get a job and live in a dive like the former Soviet Union or Nazi Germany if you can find one, their is more freedom in former Soviet countries now than western country's. Again commo cops get the fuck out of Australia, your not our way of life.

[theliberator1]

@liabilitymate meanwhile if your house gets robbed or your daughter/mother/wife/friend raped or mudered the first person you would go to for help is the commie cops.

[jmudge1]

its not the movement i am commenting on its the way you put your point across really who do you think is going to take notice of a bunch of unruley dykes and gays why are we still chopping down the rainforests when we have hemp? none believes that things need to change more than i what i dont agree with is the way you go about it and that is my right its my view that you are making more enemies than allies you dont represent me and i am far from being the 1%

[jmudge1]

why dont you get a life the 60's have come and gone and you werent there how many of you are driving around in 4wd's.uni is on holidays so we have to suffer a few hundred bored brats

[bowlofsoup44]

@jmudge1 Mate, can you honestly say you've done ANY research into what he is actually saying? It is way too easy to blast the movement when you don't actually know what it is about.. I guarantee you, if anybody completely understood what was happening in the world they would not be happy and want it to change..

[Meshuggahnaut]

get a job scumbag - under any system there's an elite. Socialist or otherwise. You'll never overcome innate human behaviour

[newnewton63]

It's the government not the 1%... go and protest at parliament house

[bowlofsoup44]

@newnewton63 In case you didn't know the 1% have so much influence over the government that they are basically puppets for the mega-rich.. The fact that most people aren't aware of this is largely due to the fact that the major media stations are being paid good money to suppress such information.. if it sounds like bullshit to you i suggest you do some research and i think you'll find there is a lot of reliable information there.. Happy reading!

[KAAAching1]

95% of the wealth, really?.... can't help but think that's a little bit bullshit

[MrLfaso]

I still don't understand what they are hoping to achieve? I'm serious, can someone please let me know... And please don't write awareness, we're all aware of corporate greed, we want to know how to change it. when you guys are finished your mini woodstock would you mind letting us know what your plan is, so we can use the democratic right you all bang on about to decide if your way is better or not... Thanks

[FormerlyMrBean667]

Josh! Good on you man!

[koala8]

i thought the occupy movements were more libertarian in nature e.g. about smaller governments and greater individual freedom etc.. why are unions a part of the aust occupy movement?..cuz arent unions associated with greater government control/bureaucracy over labour etc which is kind of the opposite to smaller government (?)

[givemeblowjob69]

O'keefe is a legend. Top bloke

[Griffinltd]

"We're sick of the top 1% dominating our entire political and economic system"

What a fucking moron - That happens in the US, not in Australia. Did you ever wonder why our economy didn't careen into collapse? Because our politicians were responsible about things. The joker doesn't even know what he is talkin about - get on a plane to NY, then your opinion is valid. Stop expecting wealthy Australia to give you a handout.

[astralwalk]

@Griffinltd You clearly don't understand the deeper aspects of the political system in Australia, Corporations and the NWO globalists and criminal bankers control our government as much as any country, Look at the carbon tax, now we have to pay to breathe the air, look at our government bringing in the UN Agenda 21 and Codex Alimentarius, The global recession was an entirely staged event, just like 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and soon to be Iran.

[Griffinltd]

@astralwalk

Let me guess, we faked the moon landing as well? Grow a brain - We have the carbon tax because of the radical left-wing Greens. You just contradicted yourself, just about every corporation in the country lobbied against it.

[astralwalk]

@Griffinltd "just about every corporation in the country lobbied against it." Are you serious? Many of the major players were either silent or supportive, including major mining companies such as BHP. No contradiction, it is you who needs to grow a brain and do some research, Global Warming was created by The Club of Rome which is a NWO think tank, our government supports basically every move made by the globalist bankers.

[Griffinltd]

@astralwalk

Do yourself a favour and head back over to RT's channel and scream "HAARP" under every natural disaster video. I guess the "Club of Rome" (championed by Al Gore of course) paid off 97% of scientists that study global warming huh?

[astralwalk]

@Griffinltd Ok but I see you fail to address my points with anything other the fallacious crap. Enjoy yourself as you walk around in circles with your fake Left wing vs Right wing delusions. I can give you one documentary here on youtube to watch if you actually believe in anthropogenic global warming, "The Church of Global Warming."

[jeans423]

@Griffinltd us and all other economy's are very heavily linked, just look at world bond markets (which are roughly 10* sharemarkets) and how reliant world banks are on US and Euro bond yields to survive. indirectly it can halve retail portfolios and decimate superannuations for millions.

[Griffinltd]

Shame these fuck heads lose all credibility when they start talking about how, "police gave them no warning." Yes they did, they gave you plenty of warning that you couldn't camp there - and you chose to ignore it.

Get a fucking job - stop expecting life to just hand you things. I support aspects of occupy Wall Street but guess what, we don't have that kind of corporatist system. You have nothing to protest you left-wing hippies.

[Hulkamania4eva]

Credit to Sunrise on 7 for actually being fair an balanced. There is no clear message because this protest is very organic. it is not just unemployed hippies asking for handouts. We have no confidence in the government to look after OUR interests!

[STEVODDEVO]

awesome



[susna112]

Well done Josh!

[2200BK]

If no one obeys, no one rules.

People Power

[sharai01]

see that in Rome, now THAT is a protest.

[zISilenced]

Andrew is a smart cookie.

not saying too much so he can keep his job.

[idustindukez]

I like the fact that the Sydney movement is much more peaceful, and I can see that some of the police aren't forceful and that Channel 7 respect Occupy's opinion.

[chandler6699]

you are a fucking clown josh, none of this applies to australia, you have no right to protest in australia. Get a fucking job you stupid, hippy... cunt

[PCGamer21stCentury]

Seriously who gives a fuck, theres nothing wrong with whats happening currently in this country so whats the point in protesting?

[Imonepercent]

@PCGamer21stCentury Nothing happening in this country Australia? Are you serious?If so you need a wake up call!

[occupysydneymedia]

The Occupation is still going on. Come down anytime 24 hours a day! Also, rally Saturday Oct 22 at 12 in Martin Place.

[triplestep1829]

@occupysydneymedia you're a joke, the fad is over. move on.

[simonissheep]

Time for revolution! Working class ppl are the backbone of the world and deserve their rights!

[kaushiksays]

I work 48 weeks a year only to see my savings shrink because of inflation, wages stagnate because of companies need to grow as the CEO rakes millions, super shrink, entitlements taken away, given more workload every other week and my workplace becoming a mini dictatorship regime. I'm doing my job but are the politicians doing theirs ? FUCK THIS SYSTEM. I want to support my grandparents and parents, I want to have a normal life. Its not much to ask for I guess.THANKS OCCUPY MOVEMENT PROTESTORS

[AndroidSydney]

So happy to see that the SYSTEM is finally being put forward as the MAIN issue. Not drugs, crime or corruption. The whole damn thing is corrupt! We are using a system which is more than 300 fucking years old! It might be a little outdated. Like windows 95, from the 17 hundreds.

I wonder if our politicians can be as welcoming of this change as this news crew.

[BillyKristel]

The 1% use money to create "kaos" in the world to divide and "control" its people. Time to "get Smart"

[BillyKristel]

Hopefully people are starting to realise that there is nothing federal about these Federal Resverve banks. They are private central banks with private interests and who simple print their own money and lend it to the governments of countries forcing its people into national debt and therefore slavery. Just like the bank of england in 1795. But now, Money is no longer backed by gold, but by us, the human resource. Abolish money and abolish modern day slavery.

[scatteredmunky]

@BillyKristel totally agree..except i wouldnt totally abolish money because it is essential for the transaction of goods and services..instead we should take away the power of printing money from banks and hand it back to the people.. should be printed by the government not by the banks...all money created is money borrowed at interest...the current money system erodes our purchasing power...everything keeps going up and up because more paper money is being pumped into the system..

[somersetretreat]

Every time they try to call it a protest, tell them. I's an Occupation

[somersetretreat]

It is not a protest, it is an OCCUPATION. I am the 99%

[dontftwme]

The answer Andrew O'Keefe?

Resource Based Economy.

[Kiametric]

Kudo's to Sunrise for not censoring the footage :) God bless us all in the change to come

[markwhalanaus]

Andrew O'Keefe and Channel 7 were pretty cool giving time to tell this message properly.

[whitestboyalive1]

it's great to see some thorough, honest coverage of this great movement here in australia. i'm proud to be a part of a country where these protests are actually gaining the attention by the media which they deserve.

[triplestep1829]

@whitestboyalive1 itll be over in a week, idealist

[abarford1]

@triplestep1829 It was over in 48 hours lol !!! Those fucking jokes, there's nothing wrong with our system, the reserve bank is the bankbone of our banking system, without it we wouldn't have a central currency, we wouldn't have backing of our banks and our economy wouldn't grow as fast as it has been, those stupid fucks.

Ask any of those assholes weither they started small business with a loan or a mortgage, tell those fuckwits it's because of the system they have the chance to own their own

[triplestep1829]

@abarford1 amen. you're a hero and a patriot

[gary1813]

@abarford1 you need to do some research mr ive been sucked into the system.

watch the end game on utube and then reply

might as well wake up you and many others up as well

[abarford1]

@gary1813 why would I want to watch some propaganda bullshit, I have a house thanks to the banking system, my mates have bank investing in capital so they can start their business's, and if those "1%" invested in this and they get paid intrest then GREAT !! Through this our economy grows, you stupid fucks have no idea, get a job!

[Simonvw100]

@gary1813 lots of interested observers have jobs and businesses but still recognise that corruption and self interest has crept into our system of government. Barry O'Farrel cancels Kristina Kennelly's benefits but does not do the same to others. Bob Carr committed money to Macquarie Infrastructure and then ends up emplyed by them. We are entitled to expect more from our elected representatives.

[abarford1]

@Simonvw100 Yes you're 100% correct and it's the job of the voters in the electorate they represent to educate themselves on who they are voting for and hold them accountable, not just think they're "voting for the prime minster postion"

This is about the idiot's who protested infront of the reserve bank for 48 hours, what the fuck did that achieve, they complain they want a overhaul of the system but no real idea's on what system will replace it.

Protesting is great but have a CLUE first!

[happyanarki]

@FUCKZIONISM666 yeah nothing is more irritating then neo-nazi conspiracy theories posing as a critic. Capitalism has a logic to it's process. It's process is one which rewards exploitation of others with power and domination through wealth. If it wasn't the Rothchilds, it would be someone else.

[scatteredmunky]

@happyanarki actually..zionist jews are the ones who funded hitler and his nazi regime..does it make sense for jews to fund someone that hated jews and wanted to destroy the jews?killing your own kind?? they always fund both sides of the war and make enormous profits from it...they have no allegiance to any race just to an idea..and idea so sick and twisted..their goal is to enslave humanity..they are buying up the world..they are targeting australia..what does australia own now?

[scatteredmunky]

@happyanarki coal companies are buying up prime agricultural land as we speak jeopordising our food source for the future..we are the brink of a finacial meltdown..when banks will longer lend money to other banks because of the uncertainty..what will people do if they cant obtain any credit?? they cant borrow money..what will happen to our over valued property market? we could very well enter a prolonged depression..all because of these criminals who have orchestrated the comming collapse.
