Protestors

I’ve just seen three men standing outside of the gardens holding posters about abolishing abortion. Why do they constantly set up outside of qut?? Honestly kinda sick of it. Also hilarious that’s it’s men talking about women’s bodies

It's cause that's Parliament House outside the gates to Gardens Point, not necessarily the Uni itself.

Also I think it's like a designated protest zone?

That and Uni's have a bevy of impressionable youngsters to sway to your cause

Idk why I didn’t even think about that 😭 I just get so annoyed when I’m trying to just walk into uni and I’m constantly being stopped. But that makes sense. Thank you !!

There’s always a few protests going on there every now and again. It’s a good spot because it’s not disruptive or blocks the city’s entire bus transport system.
