Pauline Hanson claims ‘fundamentalist Islam’ subverting Australia as thousands march across Sydney Harbour Bridge

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has decried the Supreme Court’s decision to allow a pro-Palestine protest on the Sydney Harbour Bridge to take place on Sunday and warned an “influx” of Islamic fundamentalism was transforming Australia.

Police estimated 90,000 demonstrators took part in the “March for Humanity” through the heart of Sydney, chanting: “Free, free Palestine” and: “In our thousands in our millions, we are all Palestinians”, among other slogans calling for sanctions on Israel and an end to the war in Gaza.


Tens of thousands turn out for Sydney pro-Palestinian march

A planned pro-Palestinian protest across the Sydney Harbour Bridge has gone ahead after it was authorised by the Supreme Court just one day prior, in what organisers called a “historic” decision.

Tens of thousands turned out for the March for Humanity on Sunday despite torrential rain – with many carrying placards with messages to politicians to stop the war.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was spotted among the protesters, with other notable attendees including federal MP Ed Husic and former NSW Premier Bob Carr.
