Police are investigating Victorian upper house MP Catherine Cumming for inciteful behaviour after she told a crowd of protesters that Premier Daniel Andrews should be turned into “red mist”.
“In the army we would call it pink mist, but I want him into red mist. Give anyone here in the army a job to blow someone up and they will.” “I don’t own a gun licence and I haven’t been in the army for a long time,” she said. “Medics are not trained to blow things up.”“Yes, I was passionate on the steps of Flinders Street Station and I could have expanded on what I meant in the way of red shirts and making sure this government doesn’t get re-elected,” she said.“I’ve seen a lot of woke media complaining. The police were there at the steps of Flinders Street Station – if I did something wrong, I would have been arrested.
“Police will investigate following a report of inciteful behaviour during a speech at a rally outside Flinders Street Station on November 19. As the investigation is ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”
