Pro-Palestine protesters slammed for using phrase set to be banned

Pro-Palestine protesters in Sydney have faced criticism after chanting the phrase 'globalise the intifada', which is set to be banned in New South Wales following the recent Bondi Beach shooting. Former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce condemned the use of the phrase, arguing that it encourages violence and undermines government authority, while human rights lawyer Sarah Saleh defended the right to protest and rejected links between pro-Palestinian advocacy and extremist ideologies. The rally, attended by dozens at Sydney Town Hall, highlighted tensions over free speech, hate speech laws, and the distinction between calls for Palestinian independence and extremist violence. The controversy comes as new laws are introduced to ban certain expressions deemed hateful, sparking debate over their enforcement and impact on public demonstrations.
