Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has called for an end to “reckless behaviour” amid pro-Palestinian encampments at universities in Melbourne.

This comes as students at the University of Melbourne are still refusing to leave the Arts West building, which they now call “Mahmoud’s Hall.” It was renamed by activists in memory of a prospective student who died in Gaza.
