Free Palestine Melbourne and Muslim Votes Matter are co-hosting a public forum on “Justice at the Ballot Box: Wills and the Question of Palestine”.
We are excited to announce that we have secured the participation of celebrated pro-Palestine activist and advocate Robert Martin as moderator.
We have sent invitations to: [UPDATED 14/04/2025]
- Alaa Elzokm OAM, Imam at the Elsedeaq Heidelberg Mosque > ACCEPTED INVITATION
- Peter Khalil, the Labor member for Wills > DECLINED INVITATION
- Samantha Ratnam, the Greens candidate for Wills > ACCEPTED INVITATION
- Sue Bolton, the Socialist Alliance candidate for Wills > ACCEPTED INVITATION
We have decided against inviting Liberal and One Nation candidates because of their racist, pro-genocide policies regarding the Palestinians.
The forum will provide the panelists an opportunity to discuss and take questions from Wills voters regarding their positions on the issue of Palestine and Australian foreign policy.
We are currently awaiting replies from the invited panelists and will keep you posted as to their responses.
