Pro-Palestinian demonstrations in recent months have tested university administrators and the police. This week, federal parliamentarians, including the prime minister, erupted in outrage at the protests that have disrupted MPs’ electorate offices.
Anthony Albanese’s office in his Sydney seat of Grayndler has been closed and his electorate staff are working from the Sydney Commonwealth Parliamentary Offices.
The disruption of MPs’ offices, which is frustrating constituents, many of them seeking assistance on social security and similar issues, was raised in the Labor caucus on Tuesday.
