A pro-Palestine meeting that had their booking in a council venue cancelled after what the Sydney mayor called a “a persistent media campaign by the Murdoch press” was instead held in a “park in the dark”. Speakers spoke against criminalising saying the phrase “globalise the intifada”.
The meeting, attended by several dozen people and a large contingent of media, was held in a park in Darlington after Clover Moore announced on Monday evening she had requested the chief executive of the council withdraw the booking.
