Pro-Palestinian Protesters Scale Australian Parliament House Roof

Demonstrators unfurl banners accusing Israel of war crimes, triggering security concerns and political fallout.

Four activists from Renegade Activists group climbed the roof, displaying banners with messages like 'war crimes' and 'genocide'.
The protest coincided with Senator Fatima Payman's resignation from the ruling Labor Party over Gaza policy.
Prime Minister Albanese condemned the protest as non-peaceful, while opposition leaders called for a security investigation.
Public access to Parliament House was restricted, and the protesters were arrested and banned for two years.
Australia has seen multiple pro-Palestinian protests since the Gaza war began, reflecting deep national divisions on the issue.
