Why

Crisafulli is the keynote speaker at the American Chamber of Commerce event this year. He was the keynote at last year’s commemoration of American Independence Day, where he said he wants to establish a permanent US diplomatic presence in Qld, and this at the height of the genocide. He also spoke about the local defence industry including a Qld company that manufactures wings for US bombs. Crisafulli’s criminalisation of pro-Palestinian slogans has resulted in heavy handed policing in an attempt to silence criticism of Israel’s aggression.

All welcome. Unionists: wear your union t-shirt. Action organised by Unionists for Palestine.
