I’ve been banned from the Parliamentary precincts for 12 months. Yesterday I was removed from the Senate public gallery for protesting against the government and opposition’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza and killing, invasion and illegal occupation in Lebanon.

wishing him the same level of care and empathy he extended to palestinian children ❤️

This is a huge win for injured workers and a humiliating defeat for @ChrisMinnsMP and @dmookheyMLC. Shame on the Minns Labor government. Huge thank you to @AbigailBoydMLC who has been working so hard on this issue for many months. https://t.co/lSd80bmPMt

Me and Gough Whitlam in 2004

Premier Chris Minns’ tough on protest rhetoric won’t work, he needs to deal with the rise of the far-right and racism in this State head on.

Criminalising protest does not work, because our Constitution is clear. We know that stronger anti-discrimination laws, increased education, and truth-telling is the way to stop vile racism before it starts.

It would be alarming if the Police Commissioner and Premier Chris Minns try to use today’s awful event to call for stronger anti-protest laws in NSW. The last time the Premier rushed through anti-protest laws, they faced a successful constitutional challenge in the Courts.

I am deeply concerned about the way the police are administering the form 1 protest authorisation system. How can they justify not challenging a rally for neo-Nazis to engage in antisemitism, but relentlessly challenging peaceful protests calling for a free Palestine?

The Jewish Community and people of colour in our State should not be subjected to this on our streets or newsfeeds.

The Greens abhor anti-semitism and racism and I was sickened to see neo-Nazis outside the NSW Parliament today. The Greens condemn the actions and the rhetoric of these depraved racists.

two articles published on the same day. are you radicalized yet

Police told me I wasn’t allowed to enter NSW Parliament earlier this year because I was wearing a jumper with the word Palestine on it, but they allow this to take place

Appalling. Compare this to the way police treat anti-genocide protests including the blockade outside the weapons expo at the ICC or the protest at SEC plating in Belmore

We make no apologies for blocking Labor’s disastrous bill to kill FOI. The task for this Parliament is to make government more transparent and more accountable. Right now the Albanese government is the greatest obstacle to that.

Cairo Takeaway has always been more than a restaurant—they’re a community hub that’s never been afraid to stand for Palestinian rights. Now they’re facing a defamation lawsuit. Legal costs are mounting and they need our support. Donate https://t.co/deIW2NdUKX

Israeli drones carried out intense airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Thursday, killing at least one in Toura. Israel says it targeted Hezbollah sites despite a ceasefire agreed to with the group last year.

'Only 84 bodies of returned Palestinian detainees have been identified out of 285... There are no DNA tests, no labs. Israel prevents Palestinians from their basic demand to identify who these people are', reports Al Jazeera's @Hind_Gaza. 🟥 Read report: https://t.co/xJ07hQvwpW

Today Labor Premier Chris Minns will address the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce despite the organisation's clear affiliation with illegal Israeli settler violence in the West Bank.

Starting at 1% in the polls, @ZohranKMamdani pulled off one of the great political upsets in modern American history. Yes. We CAN create a government that represents working people and not the 1%. I look forward to working with Zohran as he builds a city that works for all.
