A group of 50 protesters holding banners saying, “Stop arming Israel,” “Free Palestine”, “Free Gaza,” and “Stop the genocide” have blockaded the office of Australian Defence Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles.

The minister is in the United States and was not present when the protesters arrived at his electorate office in Geelong, Victoria.
