Pro-Palestine protest organisers ‘a pack of communists’ intent on confrontation with police, Minns tells budget estimates
AI Summary
New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has publicly criticized organizers of pro-Palestine protests, calling them "a pack of communists" and blaming them for violent clashes with police that occurred last month. Minns made these statements during NSW budget estimates on Thursday, where he was questioned about his communication with government members regarding attendance at pro-Palestine rallies. The questioning arose after four Labor backbenchers participated in a protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog's visit to Sydney's Town Hall on February 9th. The premier's remarks come amid ongoing dissent within the Labor party regarding the government's response to the protests.
