The 2024 Land Forces arms exhibition in Naarm/Melbourne was greeted by three days of protest between September 11-13.
Excessive police violence against some 1500 anti-war and Palestine solidarity activists was a feature of the first day and was reproduced on subsequent days.
More than 1000 people protested outside Hanwha weapons company on September 12.
