Protesters have targeted Albo's Sydney electorate office after Israeli forces board Greta Thunberg's ship

News.com.aua day ago

Protesters have gathered outside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Sydney electorate office after Israeli forces intercepted a boat of activists – including Greta Thunberg – that was attempting to challenge the blockade of Gaza.
Thunberg was among a group of activists on board the ship aid supplies when the boat was intercepted by Israeli forces on Monday Sydney time.
The Israel Foreign Ministry dubbed the boat a 'selfie yacht' of 'celebrities' in a post to X, writing the boat was 'safely making its way to the shores of Israel'.
'The passengers are expected to return to their home countries,' the Israel Foreign Ministry wrote to X about 10.54am AEST.
Pro-Palestine protesters called a snap protest at Mr Albanese's office in Marrickville on Monday afternoon, wielding signs reading 'Good guys don't block aid' and Palestinian flags.

LA immigration violence: ABC camera operator hit with less lethal round filming LA protests, as it happened

On Tuesday Prime Minister Anthony Albanese spoke with the US administration about the "horrific" incident where another journalist, Lauren Tomasi, was also hit with a rubber bullet.

‘Beyond parody': Albanese Labor government leaves Australian Defence Force ‘toothless'

Sky News host Andrew Bolt claims Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is leaving Australia's Defence Force 'toothless'. 'Let me show you something truly crazy, it is a brilliant example of what you do get from a defence force when it is headed by a prime minister like that,' Mr Bolt said. 'Albanese has stripped the Australian Defence Force to the bone to pay for nuclear submarines we won't start getting for another decade or more. He just won't top up its budget … three Chinese warships can circumnavigate Australia firing guns and we couldn't even put a frigate in the sea to follow them.'
