Brisbane’s LNP councillors voted unanimously for the Greens’ Trina Massey to repay the thousands it cost to produce a council newsletter that had two pages of pro-Palestine content.
Brisbane’s LNP councillors are demanding Greens councillor Trina Massey repay the $20,000 cost of a six-page community newsletter that had two pages of pro-Palestine content.
The newsletter contained two pages of pro-Palestine material written by academic and rapper Dr Jamal Nabulsi and included quotes from QUT Indigenous affairs academic Dr Amy McQuire. On the second page, Nabulsi wrote that “Israel is a European colonial state built on stolen indigenous land, much like Australia”, and criticised mainstream media coverage of the violence in Gaza.
In the 11 months since, Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to figures provided by the Hamas-run health ministry.
