Exclusive: Anthony D’Adam says civil liberties would be threatened if police could reject rallies based on cost and MPs are afraid to speak out in support of Palestine
Minns has ordered a review of policing resources that have been used on Sydney’s weekly pro-Palestine protests.
Minns publicly reprimanded Stephen Lawrence after the first-term Labor MP accused Israel of the “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians in 1948 and 1967 and denying their right of return during a speech to parliament last year.
[An unnamed MP] said government MPs were “absolutely” afraid to speak up about Palestine.
Minns had devoted a lot of time to supporting people in NSW with ties to Israel but hadn’t done the same for those with connections to Gaza or Lebanon, the MP said.
Then stop sending thugs to assault peaceful protestors, problem fucking solved.
