Peter Dutton is genuinely outraged by what he considers an abrogation of leadership by the Albanese government and a policy of “appeasement” in its views of Israel’s aggressive military response to attacks on its citizens.
to thwart the thousands of Hezbollah missiles targeting its north make calls by Defence Minister Richard Marles for a ceasefire to allow “the moment for diplomacy” sound particularly hollow.That’s compounded by the anguish of the Australian Jewish community and the anger of anti-Israel groups as the October 7 anniversary approaches.
The NSW government backed the NSW police case in the Supreme Court on Thursday, arguing that applications for permits for a rally in the CBD on Sunday and a “vigil” on Monday should be rejected.Assistant NSW Police Commissioner Peter McKenna told the Supreme Court the route chosen for Sunday near the Great Synagogue would be provocative making it hard to ensure public safety.
That’s enough for the Palestine Action Group to declare victory. It ensures continued political impotence about what a furious Dutton calls “the celebration of death … on the anniversary of the largest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust.” “The right to peacefully protest is part of our democratic system. Victoria Police has the tools and resources they need to move people on.”
