I suspect Albanese and Bowen discussed beforehand that they would both reject the garlands. A not so subtle display of the closing of their ears and minds to the plight of Pacific Islanders and a demonstration of their intent to continue to acquiesce to the demands of the fossil fuel industry.

this is so fucked - 2 of the staunch forest defenders who were arrested today have been given bail conditions including a curfew from 10pm to 7am every day until their court date in january. obscene overreach by cops trying to intimidate protestors 🙄
A screenshot of an Instagram post from Bob brown foundation featuring a pro Esther logged onto a logging machine with the caption “forest defenders arrested and given outrageous curfew”a post from bob brown foundation instagram “Two retired Tasmanian health professionals have today been placed on an outrageous nightly curfew until January 2027 after protesting to defend Lutruwita / Tasmania's native forests from logging.
They are two of three peaceful forest activists who were arrested in the Central Highlands for halting logging destruction.
In an example of complete police overreach, the two protesters were bailed from Bridgewater Police Station this afternoon with a strict 10 pm - 7 am house curfew until 25 January 2027. They are also forbidden from entering any "permanent timber production zone" land until their court date. This accounts for all public forests, approximately 12% of Tasmania's land mass.
"This is draconian overreach and impinges on our basic rights to protest in a fair and reasonable society. It won't work and I will appeal this home imprisonment for standing up for our native forests and all the animals that live within,"-Alison Salisbury, 61 years old retired nurse and grandmother.
Protesters are willing to wear their charges for civil disobedience when breaking unjust laws that protect the loggers, but outrageous bail conditions imposing house imprisonment on forest defenders is truly appalling.”
