Pro-Palestine Protest at Aussie Christmas Event

During the annual Carols by Candlelight event in Melbourne, protesters briefly disrupted the festivities by taking the stage with Palestinian flags, highlighting the situation in Gaza. One protester grabbed the microphone, chanting about children dying in Gaza, causing mixed reactions from the audience. Security intervened, removing the protesters, and the event resumed. Presenter David Campbell acknowledged the global challenges in a statement, mentioning the difficulty of coming together amidst widespread pain.

The event, a tradition since 1938, raises funds for families with visually impaired or eye disease-affected children in Melbourne.
