  1. Treasurer Tim Pallas said it could cost the state **over $10 million** to deploy extra police at the expo.

    One of the protest group organisers, Anneke Demanuele from Students for Palestine said the protesters aimed to be **peaceful** but she also **vowed** to try to **shut down the conference**, including linking arms as delegates tried to enter the event.

    “When there are crises like the ones we are facing, and the government is doing absolutely nothing to de-escalate the crises, that’s worth taking an hour or two off work and school,” Ms de Vietri (Greens) said on Tuesday.

    Our government didn’t create peace in a conflict overseas so time to protest.

  2. Classic Melbourne. All those wealthy middle class kids. Be the highest concentration of new iphones in the world atm.
