The NSW Premier criticised NSW Labor MP Anthony D’Adam after the latter accused the NSW Police of using 'fear and intimidation' to obtain compliance from a pro-Palestinian demonstration.

In March, NSW Labor MP Anthony D'Adam accused NSW Police of using "fear and intimidation" to control a demonstration in support of Palestinians.

In a speech to the upper house late last night, Anthony D'Adam, said the behaviour of the riot squad had "made a liar' out of Police Commissioner Karen Webb, who had previously said police adhered to ethical principles."We will not be intimidated, especially when we are trying to stop a genocide." A federal Labor backbencher has broken ranks to accuse Israel of carrying out "genocide" in Gaza, calling on her party to sanction and cease trade with Israel."Can I just say as an aside… being a New South Wales Police officer in the most difficult circumstances imaginable, particularly right now is far harder than issuing a speech in the middle of a night in the Legislative Council.
