Activists Protest Inside Parliament

Dozens of activists were expelled from Australia’s Parliament House and banned for a year after staging a silent protest reenacting the alleged abuse of Australian citizens detained by Israeli forces during a Gaza flotilla attempt. The protest, held in the Great Hall, drew global attention after video footage showed Israeli officials taunting detainees — sparking condemnation from Australia and allies. Despite the peaceful nature of the demonstration, activists now face a 12-month ban, prompting criticism from lawmakers like Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi, who argue the punishment stifles protest while the government remains silent on international accountability.
