I dunno about the title, I’ve been protesting for Tibet most of my life and Australia hasn’t been very interested. There’s the occasional bit of support from the government but they mostly turn a blind eye.

Yeah, I wasn’t going to say anything but I’m struggling to think of many times we’ve done that, especially as Australia overall (as opposed to some unions).
Maybe there’s fighting Imperial Japan, but Pig Iron Bob was exporting them resources after they were ready committing war crime massacres so I wouldn’t count it.
All that said, there are certainly Australians who do care, and I’m often pleasantly surprised to see people who seem absorbed by their phones or trying to avoid pamphlets double-take when they hear the issue we’re organising for and show interest or at least support.

And when I said support from the gov, I mean from individual members rather than an overall “The Government” says this is bad.
