The Guardian :
Brisbane has amassed the largest pro-Palestinian crowd in the city’s history, rally organisers say, as thousands marched across Australia in a show of support for the Palestinian cause, days after famine was declared in Gaza for the first time.
In Brisbane, organisers estimated at least 50,000 people gathered for a rally they described as “historic”, with Queensland police putting the figure at 10,000.
In Melbourne, organisers said 100,000 marched a figure at odds with Victoria police’s estimate of 10,000 while in Sydney, rally organisers put the crowd at 100,000, in contrast to New South Wales police who estimated that 10,000 people took part in the public assembly.
