Activists demanded “weapons out of Magan-djin” at the Ferra Engineering factory in Magan-djin/Brisbane on March 30.

It was the latest in a series of actions targeting the company for supplying critical parts to the F-35 fighter plane used by Israel in its genocide against the people of Gaza.

The factory appeared closed for the day, even though the action outside the factory had an almost festival atmosphere. There was no attempt to close it down or  block the factory entrance.

At previous actions, people have set up tripods to physically close the factory.

This action included a name-and-shame display of senior civil service bureaucrats (alongside Defence Minister Richard Marles) who are key figures in Australia’s supply of weapons for genocide.
