The left-wing, woke Guardian provided a lengthy report (below) on the Hezbollah flags in which it couldn’t help showing its mindless left-wing bias for the woke community who can’t think for themselves. An example was their inclusion of Peter Dutton’s comments on the incident:
Peter Dutton suggested protesters were praising Hezbollah leader Nasrallah and that some were visa-holders. The opposition leader did not provide any evidence to support the allegation.
(And the Guardian did not provide any evidence against Dutton’s ‘suggestion’ – a suggestion that has reasonable grounds.)
“There are people who are living in the Jewish community in fear and there is an absolute outrage in relation to the glorification of a terrorist leader, which surely must be against the Australian law,” Dutton – a former home affairs minister – told Brisbane radio 4BC. “And if it’s not, the parliament should be recalled to pass a law that prohibits that from happening.”
Dutton said existing laws should be enforced.
“I find it completely unacceptable that the government wouldn’t be arresting people already or cancelling visas of people who are glorifying Hezbollah and Hamas and others. They have no place in our country.”
Bravo! Peter Dutton for saying what most Australians are thinking: such people ‘have no place in our country.’

Victoria police say they have identified six possible criminal incidents relating to weekend protests in Melbourne against Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, after initial suggestions that no offences had been committed.
The AFP confirmed on Monday that it was expecting at least six reports of alleged crimes from their Victorian counterparts involving symbols and chants which are prohibited under federal hate speech law. It also said it would be writing to major news outlets asking for video footage of the protests which could assist in investigations.
Some marchers at capital-city protests over the weekend carried Hezbollah flags and portraits of leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli attack. Those marchers have drawn criticism from the federal government, which has threatened to cancel the visa of anyone inciting “discord” in Australia and has warned against importing “radical ideologies of conflict”.
The Hezbollah flag is considered a prohibited symbol as Australia has designated the group a terrorist organisation.
The Victorian premier, Jacinta Allan, said she expected police to take action over the “utterly unacceptable” display of Hezbollah flags at weekend protests in Melbourne.
“This is driving deep grief and division here on the streets of Melbourne,” she said. “I expect the police agencies to pursue this.”
“Bringing grief and pain and division to the streets of Melbourne by displaying these prohibited symbols, is utterly unacceptable.”
