Queensland police go to court in bid to stop Story Bridge pro-Palestine protest march
The Queensland police service will take protest organisers to court in an effort to halt a planned pro-Palestine march over Brisbane's Story Bridge this weekend. Justice for Palestine Magan-djin (Brisbane) have advertised plans to march over the bridge at 1pm on Sunday – replicating similar protests that occurred earlier this month in Sydney and Melbourne. Spokesperson for Justice for Palestine Magan-djin Remah Naji said the group is expecting at least 7000 people to attend the rally. The Queensland police oppose the march on public safety grounds. 'Under provisions of the peaceful assembly act, police will lodge documentation with Brisbane magistrates court for a decision to be made with respect to the notice of intention to hold a public assembly,' a spokesperson for the Queensland Police Service said. The matter is yet to be given a date of listing. A cycling group was denied the right to march or ride over the bridge earlier this year at a hearing at the magistrates court on public safety grounds. Naji said the march organisers had already briefed lawyers and were ready for a legal fight. 'We're very much willing to defend our fundamental right to peaceful assembly. If they want to go down this path, we're ready,' she said. Police in New South Wales sought to deny legal protection to a planned protest over the Sydney Harbour Bridge earlier this month – but that bid was overturned by the NSW supreme court at the 11th hour. Police say 90,000 people marched across that iconic structure, organisers put the figure at closer to 300,000 – regardless, the scale of the turnout ranks the protest as historic and the day went ahead without major incidents. In Melbourne on the same day, in contrast, pro-Palestine protesters were met by a wall of police in riot gear behind barricades and backed by a row of mounted officers and riot squad vans when they sought to cross the King Street Bridge. Justice for Palestine Magan-djin conducted mediation with Queensland police on Monday morning. QPS presented two options to the protest group for locations other than the bridge. A spokesperson for the QPS confirmed that mediation had taken place on Monday morning 'however an agreement could not be met'. Naji didn't rule out violating a court injunction if the magistrates court ruled against them, saying it would be a decision for the group collectively. She said the bridge is a central part of the protest because the urgency of the situation in Gaza 'This ongoing livestreamed genocide demands visibility. It is not enough for us to do the usual routes,' Naji said. She said the aim of the march was 'to apply the maximum pressure on our government'. Justice for Palestine Magan-djin has been holding regular protests in Brisbane for the last 22 months since the escalation of the conflict in Gaza after Israel responded to Hamas' attack on 7 October 2023 with a full-scale invasion, bombardment and blockade of aid in the Gaza Strip. More than 60,000 people have been killed in Gaza - mostly women, children and elderly people – since the war began, according to Palestinian health officials. -With additional reporting by Joe Hinchliffe

Brexit solution to UK economy misery shunned, Nicola Sturgeon in focus
All sorts of potential moves have been floated in the media, with inheritance tax among the topics in focus last week. UK economic challenges have fuelled speculation that Labour will have to raise taxes and/or rein in spending to meet its fiscal rules, which are not that different from the strictures of the Tories. The National Institute of Economic and Social Research declared earlier this month: 'The Government is not on track to meet its 'stability rule', with our forecast suggesting a current deficit of £41.2 billion in the fiscal year 2029-30.' It remains somewhat baffling that Labour, given its lead in the polls ahead of the summer 2024 general election, felt it had to tie its hands so tightly with such fiscal rules. Surely the case could have been made for loosening the purse strings, to a sensible degree, and attempting to boost growth and thereby provide a fillip to tax revenues. Chancellor Rachel Reeves, writing in The Guardian last week, described the talk about tax increases as 'speculation'. She talked about the Labour Government's aim of boosting the productive capacity of the economy by allocating investment for infrastructure projects and reforming planning rules. Ms Reeves declared: 'If renewal is our mission and productivity is our challenge, then investment and reform are our tools.' It seems that 'productivity' is the buzzword of the moment. You hear it all over the corporate world, in myriad sectors, and on occasions it seems management of companies are trying to drive their measure of 'productivity' in ways which are counter-productive and lose sight of the bigger picture. At least the talk of infrastructure investment makes sense in the context of productivity. That said, when it comes to productivity, Labour might want to think about doing something meaningful to stop the Brexit damage if it wants to deliver a meaningful boost here. Sadly, its red lines of refusing to take the UK back into the European Union or single market mean that Ms Reeves and her Labour colleagues cannot take advantage of the huge economic benefits a return to the bloc would bring. Such a return would certainly ease the pressure on the public finances. Read more Office for Budget Responsibility chairman Richard Hughes said in spring 2023 of Brexit's effect: 'We think that in the long run it reduces our overall output by around 4% compared with had we remained in the EU.' Labour, however, continues to turn its back on the big win, for fear it seems of upsetting pro-Brexit types who polls show are diminishing in number. This becomes ever more frustrating as the UK economic misery continues, with no sign of anything that is going to provide a significant boost to growth or living standards. There was mixed news on the economy north of the Border last week in a closely watched survey. Scotland's private sector economy slipped back into reverse in July but was relatively resilient on the employment front in a UK context, according to the latest growth tracker survey from Royal Bank of Scotland. The survey showed a fall in the overall output of private sector services and manufacturing after two consecutive months of growth. Read more Scotland was placed 11th out of the 12 UK nations and regions in July in terms of the month on month change in its business activity. Seven English regions achieved rises in business activity, with London posting the strongest increase. The other five nations and regions covered by the survey saw declines. Scotland was second out of the 12 UK nations and regions in the employment league table behind Northern Ireland, which was the only one to see an overall rise in private sector staffing. The decline in employment in Scotland was slight compared with the falls recorded in the other 10 nations and regions of the UK to post drops in staffing. Meanwhile, the survey showed the first increase in outstanding business in Scotland for more than a year, something which was viewed by Royal Bank as a positive sign in terms of the employment outlook. Drops in outstanding business occurred in the other 11 nations and regions, which the bank declared was a "sign of underutilised capacity" across the rest of the UK. Nicola Sturgeon was firmly in focus last week in the wake of publication of her memoir, Frankly. There was much in the way of negativity about the former first minister in the reaction to the book, fuelled in large part by politicking and emotion it seemed. My column in The Herald on Friday observed: 'Perhaps the best overall assessment of Ms Sturgeon's time in charge is to be gleaned from examining the foreign direct investment numbers over the period in which she was first minister.' Ms Sturgeon was first minister from November 2014 to March 2023. The column noted that accountancy firm EY, publishing figures for 2024 earlier in the summer, highlighted the fact that Scotland has been second only to London in terms of the number of FDI projects won in every year since 2015. The column concluded: 'Those who would claim that Ms Sturgeon achieved nothing, or was somehow detrimental to business and the economy, should reflect on this, once the emotion subsides a bit.'

I can take on 'climate change denying' Farage in TV debates, says Lorna Slater
The Lothian region MSP is the only incumbent co-leader taking part in the contest, after Patrick Harvie announced he was stepping back ahead of the looming Holyrood ballot in 2026. Slater, fellow MSPs Gillian Mackay and Ross Greer, and Dominic Ashmole are all vying for the two co-leader positions, with the results due to be published on Friday August 29. Speaking to The National, Slater said it is critical to keep climate change on the political agenda – particularly with the rise of outright "denial" from Reform and the Scottish Conservatives. READ MORE: Police Scotland 'breaching human rights to subdue Palestine protests' 'With the Tories now having gone from climate sceptic to climate denial under Russell Findlay and Reform in that place as well, it's going to make it much harder to do,' she said. 'It's wild to me that I can go into my place of work and be called a dangerous extremist for repeating what climate scientists say. 'That's where we are, and it's a very upsetting place for Scotland to be.' Slater said that, in her opinion, one of the reasons the Bute House Agreement collapsed was that while there is a pro-independence majority in Holyrood, there is no consensus on tackling climate change. Since the Greens left government, Slater accused the SNP of 'dialling back' on climate commitments. From watering down the heat and buildings bill to 'prevaricating' over publishing the long-awaited energy strategy because they are not 'brave enough' to explicitly state there should be no more oil and gas, Slater said the Scottish Government was 'not doing enough' to tackle emissions. Slater has served as co-leader since 2019 (Image: Jane Barlow/PA Wire) The former Greens minister gained praise for her performance during televised debates at the last election, and said that this was one of the many reasons she wanted to take on the top job again, to make the case for tackling climate change in the face of far-right talking points. 'I've got the confidence to take on Nigel Farage and Russell Findlay and all the others in terms of setting that out, because they are the dangerous extremists for denying that climate change is happening and that we need to make serious, serious changes to how we get about, to how our industries emit, to how we use our land in Scotland in order to preserve the future for young people,' Slater said. With Reform being an inevitable part of the 2026 Holyrood campaign, Slater said she fears it will pull other parties 'to the right because they'll be afraid of losing voters'. She added: 'The Scottish Greens are a different cup of tea. We're a values based party. We know what we believe. 'Our goal is to try and persuade people that what we believe can be implemented and will make Scotland a better place. We're not going to shift where we sit on the political spectrum in the hopes of winning votes.' Despite the collapse of Bute House Agreement in April 2024, Slater describes the power sharing agreement as 'brilliant', particularly due to the number of Green policies the party were able to enact before former first minister Humza Yousaf ended the deal. READ MORE: SNP councillor hits back at 'lie' he defected to Reform UK She firmly believes that while the Greens should have an activist element to their party, they should focus on the political, and that the party should 'build on its successes'. 'The unique thing that we can do, that other parts of the Green movement can't, is make changes to legislation…is negotiate with the party of government…is influence budgets,' she said. 'Therefore we need to focus our time and efforts on those things. So yes, I'm absolutely at the political end of that. 'We are a political party. We win seats in councils and in the Scottish Parliament in order to influence the future of Scotland politically. 'I think the Scottish Greens have done very well at that – things like rolling out free school meals to more children, free bus travel for young people, changing the taxation structure of Scotland to make it more fair, and then using that money to really invest in public services. 'That has changed the nature of Scotland. You can look at the differences between Scotland and England to see some of those effects, and we want to continue that going forward.' On independence, Slater was firm in her belief that John Swinney's strategy is 'nonsense', as an SNP majority does not guarantee a referendum, particularly as Prime Minister Keir Starmer had not agreed to those terms. Starmer has repeatedly said he would not allow a referendum to go ahead. She insisted that a pro-independence majority does make the case for allowing Scotland to decide, and that because it is important to so many people in Scotland it still 'needs to be part of the discussion'. Slater said: 'Over and over again, you'll hear the Unionist parties hoping that we'll forget about it, because they're like, 'We don't let them have a referendum, they'll forget about it and it will go away'. 'It's not going to go away.'
