What do you mean by "went to the streets?" If it's just show up at a protest and wave a sign on Saturday and Sunday, and go back to work on Monday, that's not enough. That's not civil resistance. People seriously underestimate the commitment levels necessary to actually matter.

Blocking highways, labor strikes, conscription refusal, and other civil-disobedience tactics were used.

Sorry but not enough.

I agree annoying the population, not those in power does nothing.

I am so tired of middle east protests ( on both sides) in my city i'd be happy if every protester was destroyed and traffic returned to normal.

Their actions don't influence any behaviour from australia, especially the locations where they protest.

How are you going to get stuff done unless you try to get your opinion heard?

I feel we should ban social media and phones, it is a mistake. People stop caring about the things that happens near them.

Truthfully, your opinion matters to the right people, the general public have no influence on the outcome.

Annoy the decision makers, if you're annoying the general public, your cause will be discredited.

I have protest fatigue, i am tired of all the shit involved and just want them to go away.

My big takeaway is that the downvoters are cool with it and part of the problem.
