NSW Labor administration and police command are accused of orchestrating the violent crackdown on pro-Palestinian protesters in Sydney, with senior police officials, including Acting Assistant Commissioner Paul Dunstan, directing the response and filmed pushing protesters.
The attack on NSW Greens parliamentarian Abigail Boyd, who was punched in the head and shoulder by police while filming protesters, indicates high-level approval from police command and likely the Labor government itself, with Boyd stating "I told them I was a member of parliament and that I was recording things for accountability purposes".
The violence resulted in serious injuries, including a 69-year-old woman, Jann Alhafny, who remains in hospital with four broken vertebrae, and 76-year-old journalist James Ricketson, who was attacked by riot cops and pinned to the ground, with Ricketson writing to NSW Premier Chris Minns "During my violent arrest, I sustained serious injuries".
