Pro-Palestinian protesters threatened to disrupt the grand opening of the iconic Christmas windows at Myer in Melbourne. In response, Myer cancelled the grand opening and the protesters also scrapped their plans. The unveiling of the windows was scaled back, with only a few protesters present. The protesters chanted slogans related to the conflict in Gaza. The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, which organizes weekly protests in the city, diverted its demonstration away from Myer. The cancellation of the grand opening sparked a debate about the need for a protest permit system in Victoria.
