The scenes and chanting outside the Opera House last night are abhorrent. At a time when there should be solidarity with our Jewish community, they have been subject to appalling abuse. I am seeking an urgent explanation of how this was allowed to happen. – at Sydney, New South Wales

The world's been left divided following Hamas' deadly attack on Israel, prompting the United Nations to hold an emergency meeting in which an Israeli ambassador has accused Hamas of war crimes.

I've been copping a little flack over my stance on this war. But my opinion remains unchanged. You can't kidnap women & girls. Break their arms & legs so they can't escape. Torture & gang rape them. Parade them on media. Then declare: "But we are the good guys." #IsraelPalestineWar

What a disgrace. Police warn the Jewish community it is not safe for them to witness the Opera House lighting tonight because of fears Palestinian protesters may be a threat. People bringing their hatred to this country is totally unacceptable. Their parents came here because we are a tolerant, safe country. Their children are now bringing hate to Australia,terrifying its citizens & insulting us in a reprehensible way.

this is so sickening. in sydney.
Moments after the blue and white colours of the Israeli flag lit up the Opera House sails, pro-Palestine members of the crowd started screaming “f--k Israel” and “f--k the Jews”. Israeli flags were also burned 👉 bit.ly/48Nhrva

The fact that the names and addresses of women who’ve had abortions were compromised in the Medibank data breach, in a separate file called “abortions” is terrifying.

“No child is in the wrong place at the wrong time in his own country” Heartfelt words for Cassius at tonight’s peaceful vigil in Sydney. A massive crowd to honour him, protest racism, and show solidarity. #CassiusTurvey

Thousands of Australians are at vigils across the country to rally for change following the death of teenager Cassius Turvey. We ask Prime Minister @AlboMP if Australia has a problem with racism.

A beautiful coming together over a terrible tragedy. Let’s get some change so this stops happening.
Thousands of people attended a vigil in Australia for Cassius Turvey, an Indigenous teenager who died after allegedly being attacked by a group of white men while walking home from school. Members of Perth’s Maori community paid tribute by performing the Haka ⤵️

In Sydney, the intersection of city and nature is magic. But there are greater rewards beyond the obvious. Here's an itinerary full of food, culture and of course, dips in ocean pools. nyti.ms/3U36BsZ
