1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: New Jersey and Amanda gam Nation. The lighting of the 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: Opera House is always mine in controversy. Whenever we do it, 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: you think of the Everest, Remember all the whoha about 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: the Everest. You lit up the Opera House then through 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: commercial enterprise, or then again not lighting it up for 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: example King Charles's coronation and now lighting it up in 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: support of Israel, but at the same time telling Jewish 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: people to keep away from the Opera House because pro 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: Palestinian demonstrators are going to be protesting the fact that 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: they've done it in the colors of the Israeli flag 11 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: on the Opera House. Yeah, so we're in Australia still, 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: aren't we We're not in the Middle East making sure 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: of that. A young lady got whacked in the head 14 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: by a cracker in punch poll. According to this guy, 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: it was okay, a little bit of a celebration, a 16 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: bit of fireworks, bitter flags, just a little bit of 17 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: celebration for what's happening overseas. This is our area. We 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: know what the people like, we know what they want. 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: We know fireworks is not big. It's not for clues. 20 00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: We can do fireworks here. You know what I mean 21 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: so in the newspaper today there's a lot of reaction 22 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: about what the Palestinian supporters are doing, and they're just 23 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: these are from people that have immigrated to Australia, like 24 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: these are just extracts of some of the letters. Freedom 25 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: of speech is to be respected, but it is inexcusable 26 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: that the state government and our police allow these scenes 27 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,919 Speaker 1: to occupy the streets of Sydney. Our tolerance is allowing 28 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: Australian society, standards and veus to be trashed by people 29 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 1: who disrespect the very country that they live in. Surely 30 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: we are Australian first and foremost we are, aren't we 31 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: We're still in Australia. I support free speech, but this 32 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: is beyond the pale. This country gives those people freedom 33 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: to express themselves, but they abuse the privilege by their 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: support for atrocities committed by this murderous bunch of misfits. 35 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: And this one here is probably the most pertinent. The 36 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: stupidity of some people is truly astonishing. It doesn't matter 37 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: what side you support, whether Palestinian or Israel, but you 38 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: have no right to go around trashing and vandalizing property, 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: making people live in fear. My parents left Iran over 40 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: thirty years ago, came to Australia to give their kids 41 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: a better life. Don't turn our beautiful country into the 42 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,119 Speaker 1: Middle East. That's it this. Leave you stuff at home. 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: We're not Palestine, we're not Israel. Oh I swore, We're Australia.
