Pro-Palestine protesters cancel Melbourne CBD disruption

The organiser behind a pro-Palestine rally has now cancelled the disruptions scheduled in Melbourne CBD on Sunday.

The development comes after a planned protest from Pro-Palestine advocates forced the retail store Myer to scrap the 70-year-long tradition of unveiling their Christmas windows for this year’s festivities.

Victoria Police Assistant Commander Tim Tully says the unit has “very good engagement” and cooperation with the organisers and police will be in attendance to deal with “any issues that present on Sunday”.

Victoria Police have communicated with families the city is ‘open for business’.

Oh is that because albo and Wong supports Palestine and not Israel

[ParkerIII]

Why are you allowing this demonic activity to disrupt your traditions? Smh

[SixthGlory]

All spin. This state is crumbling. The cop is down playing the severity of this. Slowly, slowly the left government is tearing down our values. Same with Australia day parade, Anzac day and now Christmas. This is worrying.

When are Australian people going to take their country back ?
Law enforcement, legal system and government aren't going to do it for you.

[tjzgbeast]

Your country is an embarrassment. Grow some balls

This is what Balsam promised.

*MAKE AUSTRALIA GREAT AGAIN*

Islam ruined this. Islam is the blame. Piss off VicPol. You couldn't protect a donut.

[tamimrktz]

This is what domestic terrorism looks like. Totally inept police.

[daniellebcooper]

Disgraceful. Who is running Melbourne, the elected authorities, or activists?

[stevewiles]

So can people go and protest muslim festivals, as long as we just get in the way and not get violent???

[TonyWilliams-fy]

On remembrance day in Canada they played the PALISTINE protest song in our schools !, YOU HAVE JUST BECOME SECOND CLASS CITIZENS IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY.

[melindachisholm]

I guess Melbourne has gone all out Islam

[bestestusername]

No they have not, dont trust them. They will be there still but without the placards just the shirts and scarfs, they were talking about it on the bus in craigieburn

[skytears]

What does australia have to do with whats happening in Palestine

[FirstNationpisces]

People need to stand up and make a stand for what you believe in!

[ku]

You don’t have the right to be violent and interfere with the country you are joining!

[ku]

Why don’t you cancel the protest!
What about your innocent children.
Who do they work for?
Hamas or Australians!

Myer should just tell the protesters that they will put whatever decorations they like in their window and that they will leave them there for a whole year. They should say to the protesters that they do not dictate what the people can see.

[jebediaha.]

Police should be ashamed of them selves, for allowing this to happen at Xmas time.
