The Australian Open is facing criticism for allegedly allowing pro-Palestine protestors to break the tournament's rules by wearing shirts with pro-Palestine messages. The tournament's rules prohibit the display of material intended to disrupt, offend, vilify, or that is political in nature. The Australian Jewish Association has condemned the tournament for not applying the rules equally to everyone and allowing an exception for Palestinian activists. In the past, the Australian Open banned fans from wearing shirts with the slogan 'Where is Peng Shuai?' but eventually overturned the ban due to public pressure.
