Melbourne council passes motion calling for ceasefire in Gaza

Melbourne’s Brimbank council passed a motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

This follows the recent decision of the City of Melbourne Council to vote down a motion to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The Daily Telegraph’s Tim Blair joined Sky News host Chris Kenny to discuss the decision by Brimbank council.

“This has been going on for a long time in Australian councils,” he said.

“We had in Sydney I think a lot of inner western – councils who have been for years making all matter of resolutions about the Middle East while forgetting to pick up garbage.”
