There were jeers for Anthony Albanese in Melbourne and cheers for Peter Dutton in Sydney at events held by the Jewish community to mark the first anniversary of the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel.
Some 6,000 gathered in Moorabbin in Melbourne’s south-east on Monday evening for the Illuminate October event, which began with a procession of hand-painted lanterns, each dedicated to 1,200 Israelis killed and 250 hostages captured by Palestinian militants in the past 12 months.
