In the Victorian Parliament, four Greens MPs were ejected from the chamber for staging a pro-Palestine protest, an act that Premier Jacinta Allan and both the government and opposition parties condemned as disrespectful. The incident occurred during a significant session where Premier Allan delivered a historic apology to children who suffered neglect or abuse in institutional care between 1928 and 1990. The Premier became emotional during her speech, acknowledging the state's failure to protect approximately 90,000 children. Following the ejection, the Greens MPs issued an apology for their actions, which the Coalition criticized as a safety concern.
