Man arrested for allegedly holding sign with swastika at Sydney rally

A man has been arrested for allegedly holding a sign with a swastika on it at the pro-Palestine rally in Sydney today.

NSW police said this was the only arrest made in relation to the Sydney rally so far, and no further information was available.

Teen social media ban needs to be implemented ‘as soon as possible’, NSW premier says

Any ban on young people using social media needs to be implemented as soon as possible, the NSW premier, Chris Minns, says.

Ahead of a two-day summit between the NSW and South Australian governments on addressing social media issues, Minns said age restrictions for the tech platforms were more than needed.

I’d like to see (an age ban) done as soon as possible … ultimately, we have to draw a line in the sand,” he told Sky News on Sunday.

This is a big change for Australia, but I think it’s warranted, given this is, in my view a global, unregulated experiment on young people and the prevalent use of social media.


It comes as Anthony Albanese wrote to state and territory leaders asking for input on how an age ban on social media could be implemented.

The federal government has indicated it will look to introduce legislation restricting social media use for young people, but an exact age limit has not been determined.

Queensland LNP promises $250m in community sports funding

The Queensland opposition leader, David Crisafulli, says the Liberal National party will establish a $250m fund to build community sports infrastructure across the state before the 2032 Olympics.

But the LNP leader remains coy on its plans for major venues – saying only that it will not proceed with the existing plans to host athletics at the 80s-era Queensland Sports and Athletic Centre, and that it would not build new stadiums.

We must deliver a legacy for all of Queensland, the Games must benefit our entire state and that means more local sports in more local communities.

Protesters on the move as crowd condemn Albanese, Wong with shouts of ‘shame’

Speeches went for about an hour in Sydney’s Hyde Park, before protesters began marching as part of the pro-Palestine rally.

The anger and frustration in the air was palpable as the crowd was led through a number of chants, taking aim at Australia’s leaders – including the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, and foreign minister, Penny Wong – and the media, with shouts of “shame” ringing out.

One chant said, “Free, free Palestine, hands off Lebanon,” while another was heard, “Glory, glory to our martyrs.”

Every direction you looked across the park there were a sea of faces, protest signs and flags in the air, as people found pockets of shade amid the 26C heat.

Man dies following Hawkesbury River water-skiing incident

A 25-year-old man has died following a water-skiing incident on the Hawkesbury River on Sunday morning.

Emergency services were called to a boat ramp in Lower Portland, north-west of Sydney. They were told a water skier had been injured after hitting the water at speed while being pulled by a boat.

Paramedics treated the man, however he died at the scene.

Police established a crime scene, and a report will be prepared for the information of the coroner.

As investigations continue, police are urging anyone with information to contact police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Parts of the Northern Territory and northern Western Australia can expect “severe to locally extreme” heatwaves this week, with the Bureau of Meteorology warning temperatures well above average will continue.

Superhuman vocals from Jimmy Barnes anchor triumphant Cold Chisel tour opener

On the screens flanking the stage at Petersons Winery in Armidale, you can clearly see the scar at the top of Jimmy Barnes’ big barrel chest. It’s a visible legacy of the singer’s second round of open-heart surgery in December last year, after a serious bout of bacterial pneumonia nearly killed him.

Two months ago, he had a hip replacement that also left him fighting off an infection, which kept him tethered to a drip for weeks. You wouldn’t know it. Watching him tear through Cold Chisel’s 24-song set on the first official stop of their Big Five-0 tour, Barnes looks indestructible. At this rate, he’ll outlive all of us and Keith Richards combined.

Crew and passengers rescued as naval ship sinks in Pacific

Seventy-five crew members and passengers have been rescued after a New Zealand navy vessel ran aground and sank off the coast of Samoan island Upolu.

Samoan emergency services and Australian defence force personnel responded to the incident involving HMNZS Manawanui, with assistance from NZ Rescue Coordination Centre (RCCNZ).

The incident occurred on Saturday evening while conducting a hydrographic survey 1 nautical mile from shore, according to a statement from the NZ defence force.

The NZ defence force said at 6.40am Sunday, the Manawanui was listing heavily and smoke was visible from the ship and by 9am it had capsized and was below the surface.

“We are very grateful for the assistance of everyone involved, from RCCNZ who coordinated rescue efforts, to the vessels which responded and took our crew and passengers from Manawanui to safety,” maritime component commander commodore Shane Arndell said.

More video from the Sydney rally from reporter Sanjana Jose:

No arrests have been made at today’s pro-Palestine rally in Sydney “at this stage, that we know of”, according to NSW police media.

“Numbers are significantly lower than was expected,” the spokesperson said, but could pick up later.

Melbourne protesters march towards Flinders Street station

In Melbourne’s CBD, where protesters are rallying outside the state library, a speaker led a chant of “there’s no shopping while bombs are dropping” as he directed attenders to march towards Flinders Street.

The pro-Palestine rally is now well under way in Sydney’s Hyde Park. Here’s some video from Guardian Australia reporter Emily Wind:

Kamila, who did not wish to share her last name, travelled from Westmead for today’s rally, but is originally from New Zealand.

She began attending the rallies in December last year and admitted she was slightly nervous the first time, but when she arrived felt “nothing but love” and has made lots of friends.

I feel it’s my duty as a human being, as someone living here on this country from another country, I feel it’s my duty to speak up and give a voice to those that don’t have a voice.

And if the same thing was happening to Israel or to France, I would be doing the same thing. It’s about humanity, and I think as humanity – as a collective humanity – I think we’ve failed, and that’s why I’m here today.

‘We are peaceful activists, we’re anti-war activists, and we have a right to demonstrate’

Cherish Kuehlmann, a UNSW student with the Students for Palestine group, said she started coming to the rallies one year ago, coming as often as she is able.

Today’s rally is being held one day before the anniversary of the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel where 1,450 people were killed or kidnapped, shortly after which Israel began a retaliation campaign in Gaza that has resulted in at least 41,000 people – mostly civilians and many children – being killed.

The rallies have been held in Sydney for 52 weeks now.

Kuehlmann said this has grown into “one of the biggest anti-war movements, definitely the most consistent anti-war movement in Australian history”.

It’s bad to resign to what’s happening. We all see it on our phones, and so growing the support … and [encouraging] more people to come out matters …

I just think its the … moral crime of our generation.

The student said attempts by NSW police to try to stop today’s rally from happening felt like “deja vu” to when the rallies first began and were denounced by certain politicians.

We’ve demonstrated we are peaceful activists, we’re anti-war activists, and we have a right to demonstrate.

Child dies and woman missing in Queensland house fire

A eight-year-old child has died and a woman is missing after a fire broke out in residential units in Thorneside, east of Brisbane this morning.

According to ABC reports, a crime scene had been declared.

Queensland police’s Chief Insp Karl Hahne said:

Tragically, we have located one person deceased inside the premises.

One person is still unaccounted-for however, we have a strong belief that person is also in the fire scene.

The blaze was brought under control just after 8am Sunday, according to a spokesperson for the Queensland Fire Department.

A roof collapsed in one unit, and the fire damaged two others.

Police place large LED signs at Sydney pro-Palestine rally warning against display of Hezbollah imagery

The pro-Palestine rally in Sydney is due to kick off at 1pm, but there’s already a huge turnout at Hyde Park.

Large crowds of all ages have gathered with protest signs and Palestinian flags, and dozens of police are already present.

Police have placed two large LED screens in the park, telling people not to fly Hezbollah flags or imagery with slain leader Hassan Nasrallah.

There is a row of market stalls with people selling their wares, and attenders have been gathering together in pockets of shade ahead of the rally, with 25C heat.

Ellen Vera is attending for the first time today, having travelled from Casula, south-west of Sydney. She said she wasn’t a political person, but the conflict “has to stop”.

It’s inhumane. Humanity is gone.

Vera said she was walking “for the children, the women and the men who cannot get treatment because the hospitals are all blown up”.

Wallaroos notch thrilling rugby test victory over South Africa

The Wallaroos have earned a pulsating 33-26 triumph over South Africa in Cape Town, as record-equalling Ash Marsters came up with a heroic last-ditch steal to put the Australian women’s side in sight of the WXV2 tournament title.

The excellent all-round display on Saturday was headlined by two spectacular performances from flying wingers Desiree Miller and record-breaker Maya Stewart, and sets up a title-deciding match against unbeaten Scotland at the same venue next week.

Queensland parachutists taken to hospital after reports of mid-air collision

Two parachutists reportedly involved in a mid-air collision have been transported to hospital, according to Queensland Ambulance.

A spokesperson said paramedics attended Toogoolawah showgrounds – about 118km north-west of Brisbane – after receiving reports that two parachutists had collided mid-air.

One male patient with significant, and potentially life-threatening, head injuries was airlifted by helicopter to Royal Brisbane and Women’s hospital, she said.

The other patient with a leg injury was in a stable condition and being transported to Princess Alexandra hospital by road.

Man dies at Sydney music festival

A young man has died at the Knockout music festival in Sydney last night, according to NSW police.

Police commissioner, Karen Webb, said the death was an “unfortunate circumstance” that had been referred to the coroner.

We understand he had underlying health issues and there’s no suggestion of any drug taking.

Webb said there had been some drug-related hospitalisations associated with the festival.

It’s always risky. Whenever you take illegal drugs, you never know where they’re made, you don’t know what’s in them, and you don’t know how your body’s going to react.

Updated

The NSW police minister, Yasmin Catley, also touched on the candlelight vigil planned for tomorrow, on 7 October, and asked people to “think about social cohesion”.

We ask for people to be sensitive. Obviously there’s a lot of hurt and emotion through our community, and I would just call on people to think about that social cohesion mix.

‘Action will be taken’ if protesters display Hezbollah flag

Asked what would happen if any Hezbollah flags were displayed at today’s rally, assistant commissioner Peter McKenna said organisers had agreed no flags or portraits would be displayed today.

Organisers have asked attenders via social media not to bring Hezbollah flags.

But McKenna said if anyone was found doing so “and are committing an offence, action will be taken”.

Asked if it was against legislation to display a portrait of slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, McKenna said “no it’s not”, but “there is a view in certain circumstances it could be seen as offensive, and we will consider that throughout the operation”.

NSW police say rally response ‘will be proportionate, it will be significant’

The NSW police commissioner, Karen Webb, said the police response began at 10am with a briefing.

Webb said assistant commissioner Peter McKenna would be in command of the police presence today.

Police will work with organisers, police will work with marshals and others to make sure it is a peaceful rally, that people come into the city [and are] leaving the city according to the form 1.

Asked how many police would respond to the rally today, McKenna said “our response will be proportionate, it will be significant”.

Police minister says Sydney pro-Palestine protests must remain peaceful or ‘you can expect to be arrested’

The NSW police minister, Yasmin Catley, has told reporters there will be a “significant police presence” on the streets in Sydney today.

A pro-Palestine rally will take place in Hyde Park from 1pm today, after NSW police previously attempted to stop it from happening in federal court.

Catley said:

Everybody has a right to express their views, but we need to respect each other in doing that.

She added there will be “no problem whatsoever” if people do the right thing, but if not, “you can expect to be arrested”.

Assistant commissioner Peter McKenna added that if people commit criminal offences, display antisocial behaviour or “do anything that places people … [in] jeopardy, we will step in”.

Tertiary education union endorses academic boycott of Israel

The national council of Australia’s tertiary education union has overwhelmingly endorsed the academic boycott of Israel and a long term strategy of demilitarisation of the higher education sector, placing pressure on vice-chancellors grappling with a volatile political climate.

The motion, which also calls on university managements to cut ties with the weapons industry and militaries in general, was passed by the National Council of the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) and branches across the country on Saturday.

The National Council has a membership of 130 delegates, representing Australia’s 38 public universities. Of more than 100 who voted, 11 abstained and five were against.

The vote follows the disbandment of pro-Palestine encampments that were established for months at universities in every state and territory, and similarly urged universities to divest and disclose their connections to weapons manufacturers.

A Senate inquiry into antisemitism on university campuses has heard allegations of unsafe campuses among Jewish and Islamic staff and students amid heightened tensions over the ongoing war in the Middle East.

Shoppers in the UK are paying less for Australian brands including Vegemite and Tim Tams than customers in Australia, despite the classic products being made in Australia.

A comparison of seven Australian products stocked in UK supermarkets shows they are often cheaper to buy in Britain than at Australia’s two major supermarket chains.

Vegemite retails for $1.93 per 100g at Morrisons but costs customers $2.27 at Coles and $2.21 at Woolworths, according to price checks conducted by Guardian Australia.

Labor MP John Burns says federal government cannot intervene to stop pro-Palestine protests

The Labor MP Josh Burns responded to the intervention from the Coalition’s home affairs spokesperson, James Paterson, about pro-Palestine rallies coinciding with the 7 October anniversary.

Burns told Sky News that “there are not mechanisms by which the federal government could intervene here”.

Burns said:

What happens on our streets is a matter for the states, and to be frank, I support people’s right to protest – the right to gather and to associate is a fundamental right in Australia. I’m the chair of the Human Rights Committee, and I believe in that.

I would also say that October 7 was, is a devastating day on the calendar, and for people to gather on that day sends a very terrible message about whether or not people are allowing their fellow Australians to grieve, and we must have the ability for all of us to grieve.

I know this is difficult for our Palestinian community, and I know today, people of Lebanese descent and Lebanese Australians are looking at pictures feeling just terrible for their family. And I get it. I get it. And we need to have room and space for everyone to come together and to feel the devastation of this conflict that’s happening right across the world.

So I don’t think that the message of protesting on October 7 does anything else other than really make people who are grieving feel even more upset and more uncomfortable. And I would urge people who are thinking about doing that to maybe consider another option.

More than 450 Australians evacuated from Lebanon so far: Marles

Richard Marles said the government had assisted more than 450 Australians, mostly citizens, to evacuate from Beirut during the past week, including two flights in the last 24 hours. He said:

This is the time to leave. The airport remains open, which is a blessing. It’s really important that people take the opportunity to leave.

About 3,600 Australians were now registered with the embassy in Beirut, seeking assistance to leave Lebanon, Marles told the ABC Insiders program.

Pro-Palestine protests on 7 October ‘deeply regrettable’, Marles says

Richard Marles has called the pro-Palestinian protests being held today and tomorrow “deeply regrettable”.

Speaking on the ABC, he said the anniversary of the 7 October attacks were a “solemn occasion” that needed to be about what happened on that day:

What happened on that day was the loss of more than 1,000 innocent lives, people going about their normal daily business in a peaceful way. I mean, young people attending a concert, people being taken hostage, a whole lot of whom remain hostages to this day.

Updated

Richard Marles said the government continued to support a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, and the only enduring solution was a negotiated peace.

No matter what plays out, there are two peoples who will continue to live side by side.

Speaking on ABC Insiders, the deputy prime minister and defence minister acknowledged that seemed “very unattainable at this moment”.

Marles says Dutton ‘intentionally lying’ about Australia’s stance on Middle East crisis

Speaking to the ABC, Richard Marles said opposition leader, Peter Dutton, was seeking to exploit the crisis in the Middle East by creating division in Australian society.

He said:

This is a tragedy that has been playing out in the Middle East. It is obviously difficult. It is obviously complex.

He said Dutton had implied Australia was at odds with its allies:

That is a patent lie, and it’s an intentional lie, and it’s a lie intended to create division within Australian politics and from there, within Australian society.

Richard Marles says Israel 'has a right to respond' to Iran

Speaking to ABC’s Insiders, the deputy prime minister and defence minister, Richard Marles, said Australia was in lockstep with the United States and that Israel had a right to respond to Iran.

Israel clearly has a right to defend itself, and that does include a right to respond, but the manner in which it defends itself obviously matters.

Marles said there was a “cycle of violence” in the region, and efforts from the United States with the international community had been to try to avoid a wider conflict and a regional war.

Liberal senator suggests Albanese should have intervened to stop pro-Palestine protests

The federal opposition’s home affairs spokesperson, James Paterson, says Anthony Albanese should have used “the status of the office of prime minister” to demand that no pro-Palestine protests occur on the anniversary of the 7 October attacks.

During an interview on Sky News this morning, Paterson appeared to concede there was no legal mechanism for the federal government to intervene, but said it was a matter for leadership. Asked to explain his claim that the federal government should have done more to stop protests on 7 October, Paterson said:

What I am saying is the prime minister should have shown leadership, and I know that would be something surprising and new and different for him on these issues, but he should have made it clear, and he should have gone direct to community leaders and used the relationships and the status of the office of prime minister that he holds to say this is utterly unacceptable and it must not proceed.

We’re not saying that you can’t protest for the Palestinian cause. We’re just saying, pick any other day of the year than the seventh of October.

Albanese said on Friday:

I believe very strongly that those planning any events on October 7 should think again and should recognise that that is not the time to engage in that activity.

Police warn against display of Hezbollah symbols at pro-Palestine rallies

While the pro-Palestinian protest organisers have vowed for a peaceful event, the protests have faced criticism from politicians and police, with NSW police this week attempting to prevent the Sydney protest from going ahead, before protest organisers reached an agreement with the police to have the protest occur via a changed route starting at Hyde Park.

NSW police had sought to have both the Sunday event and Monday vigil deemed unlawful, citing concerns over expected crowd size and potential hazards including “planter boxes” at town hall.

Police had alleged last Sunday’s rally saw people carrying “prohibited items” as in Hezbollah flags as one of their concerns, and organisers for the Sunday rally have urged participants not to bring any prohibited items.

The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has expressed concerns about the protests over “social cohesion”, while the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, has claimed the protests are a “celebration of death”.

State and federal police across the country issued a rare joint statement on Friday warning “there will be no tolerance for illegal behaviour or violence on any day of the year” in the lead-up to protests planned.

The NSW police commissioner, Karen Webb, said on Friday police would “not hesitate” to take “appropriate, proportionate action” against anyone committing a criminal offence.

NSW police posted on X that the Hezbollah flag, symbols, and images of the former secretary-general of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah should not be displayed.

Two die after buggy incident

A child and an adult have died and two others were injured in a buggy rollover in Victoria on Saturday evening, AAP reports.

Police were investigating the crash, which occurred at 11pm in Tubbut, in the east of the state.

The event occurred days after the driver in a 2021 fatal buggy crash was handed a five-year jail term. The mother of the six-year-old girl killed in that incident called the driver’s sentence a “slap in the face”.

First Australian evacuation flight from Lebanon lands safely in Cyprus

More than 450 Australians and their immediate family members have so far left Lebanon on Australian government-assisted flights, as Israel steps up its strikes in southern Beirut.

Two such flights arrived in Cyprus from Beirut yesterday carrying 407 Australians: the first flight carried 229 Australians and the second carried 178.

It is understood these Australians and their families are staying in temporary accommodation in Larnaca, Cyprus, before returning to Australia on connecting flights operated by Qantas and Qatar Airways starting from today.

Australians are also being encouraged to take up places on two further flights from Lebanon to Cyprus scheduled today.

Large turnouts expected for pro-Palestinian rallies across the major cities in Australia

There are expected to be large turnouts at what organisers say will be peaceful pro-Palestinian rallies across the major cities in Australia today.

They are being held one day before the anniversary of the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel where 1,450 people were killed or kidnapped, and marking one year since Israel’s ongoing retaliation in Gaza that has resulted in at least 41,000 people – mostly civilians and many children – being killed.

Rallies have been held weekly in many parts of Australia in support of Palestinians, and more recently in support of Lebanon, after Israel’s retaliation for Hezbollah attacks has killed more than 1,000 people and wounded 6,000 more in the past two weeks, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.

Organisers of the Sydney protest said they expected the turnout to be about 5,000 people.

The protest times (local) and locations are:

  • Sydney: the protest gets under way from Hyde Park at 1pm.

  • Melbourne: the rally will commence at 12pm outside the state library.

  • Brisbane: the rally will be held at the Queens Gardens at 1pm.

  • Adelaide: the protest will be held at Parliament House at 2pm.

  • Canberra: there is an event being held at 1pm at Garema Place.

  • Darwin: there will be an event at Civic Park Steps from 5pm.

  • In Perth and Hobart, rallies were held on Saturday.

We will bring you coverage of these rallies as they get under way.

Good morning

Welcome to another Sunday Guardian live blog. Greetings to those in daylight saving states, who find themselves springing forward this morning.

We heard news overnight that the first of two flights evacuating hundreds of Australian citizens, residents and their families from Lebanon has landed safely in Cyprus.

Today we are expecting:

Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters to march in Sydney and Melbourne today, one year since the start of the Israel-Gaza conflict.

In the US, Elon Musk will attend a Pennsylvania rally with Donald Trump (you can follow that here).

And fans are preparing for the NRL grand final between the Penrith Panthers and Melbourne Storm this evening.

I’m Petra Stock and I’ll be taking the blog through the day.
