I think it’s the country Melbourne is in that the protesters are trying to get the attention of, in hopes that said countries politicians will in turn pressure their allies to limit support of said distant country until said country changes its policies to be more in line with the ethics and morals the host nation claims to uphold though its foreign policy.
