The demonstrations came against a backdrop of divisions in Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Labor government, which suspended the senator for voting in favor of Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state, contrary to party policy.

Senator Fatima Pejman supported the parliamentary proposal presented by the Green Party.

The demonstrators, dressed in black, climbed onto the facade of the parliament above the entrance and placed several large black and white banners.

Opposition senator James Patterson said the action "threatened the security of parliament".

The entrance to the Australian Parliament building was also briefly closed yesterday due to protests by environmental activists.
