Myer Cancels Christmas Display Event Due to Planned Protests

Pro-Palestinian protests prompt Myer to cancel its traditional Christmas window unveiling in Melbourne for safety concerns.

Myer has cancelled its annual Christmas window unveiling event in Melbourne's Bourke Street Mall, originally scheduled for Sunday.
The decision followed plans by pro-Palestinian protesters to disrupt the event, citing ongoing conflicts in Gaza.
Premier Jacinta Allan criticized the protests, urging for unity and denouncing the politicization of the festive season.
Victoria Police confirmed they had not recommended the cancellation but will maintain a visible presence during the planned protest.
Despite the event cancellation, Myer's Christmas windows will still be available for public viewing from Sunday until January 5.
