Melbourne students protesting against the Gaza conflict block the city
About 300 student protesters have blocked one of Melbourne CBD's main intersections as they rallied against the Gaza conflict. The group marched from the State Library to Flinders St they sat in the middle of the intersection for about 60 minutes on Thursday. Police moved on one man who breached the peace and five other protesters were arrested for obstructing the roadway. They are expected to be charged on summons. The protest was part of nationwide action organised by the National Union of Students and Students for Palestine, which called for a student referendum on Gaza. The students want to vote no confidence in the Australian government alleging it has been complicit in the genocide in Gaza and to end weapons trade with Israel. National Union of Students education officer James McVicar said in a video posted to social media they would continue to stand against war and any politician or political party that endorsed war or unprovoked acts of aggression. Flinders Street has since reopened.
