Thousands marched in Gadi/Sydney on January 28 against Israel’s genocide in Gaza for the 16th week in a row, reports Peter Boyle.
The chant “Shame, shame [foreign minister] Penny Wong! Shame, shame [PM Anthony] Albanese!” hit the mark just days after the Labor government suspended its contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), the main source of international aid to besieged Gaza.

Hazem al Sultan, a Palestinian from Gaza who was at the march with his daughter, told Green Left that he was grateful for all the people who have kept marching “for what is right”. “It makes us human,” he said.
As many as 1000 people gathered in front of South Australia's Parliament House in Kaurna Yerta/Adelaide for the latest fortnightly protest in solidarity with Gaza on the same day.
The rally was addressed by representatives from Amnesty International, the political party SA Best and Australian Friends of Palestine.

Susan Price reports from Kombumerri/Gold Coast that about 120 people rallied and marched for Palestine in Surfers Paradise on January 28. Representatives of the anti-Zionist Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities, a Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance member and other local activists addressed the rally.
A petition was launched calling on the Gold Coast City Council to withdraw its sister city agreement with the Israeli resort town of Netanya until there is a permanent ceasefire and Israel abides by international law. Sign the petition at Change.org.
