The violent protests against Isaac Herzog + making Laneway accessible
About this episode
You've been seeing the videos: violent clashes in Sydney between police and people protesting the visit of the Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
The protesters were breaking special restrictions in place during Isaac Herzog's trip, and police are defending how they handled it. So what happened? And how does the police response leave Australia's Palestinian community feeling?
Plus, people with disability say they've been unable to access stages and have been locked out of accessible viewing platforms at Laneway. Could the festival do better?
