The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?

Australia has a glorious history of protest marches. Pressure brought to bare helped end the Vietnam war, the Springbok tour, hell, even the right to march in Qld. They sadly don't all end with success e.g. the illegal US invasion of Iraq, but impinge on our right 2 march at your peril Chris Minns.

Given the appropriate grief for the innocents murdered in #BondiBeach, expressed by the AUS mainstream news media (ABC, Seven, Nine, Ten AND numerous ex-politicians & retired shock jocks), I expect the exact same levels of grief to be expressed by THEM at the ongoing Israeli #GazaGenocide. 🤔 #auspol
