[forwarding from cross-post] I missed some news from last night:

“Sydney’s mayor bans ‘globalise the intifada’ forum from being held in council building - Clover Moore says events must not ‘contribute to fear’ but takes a swipe at Murdoch press for ‘bad faith’ campaign while organisers vow to meet in [nearby] park”

Stop The War On Palestine said in an Instagram post: “Venue cancelled but forum going ahead.” The group said the meeting would instead be held at Charles Kernan Reserve in Darlington.

The organisers wrote: “We reject the implication from Clover Moore that our meeting risks public safety and respect for members of the community.”

“It is the Murdoch media that has been spreading fear and lies about the forum and about the slogan ‘globalise the intifada’,” they said.
