Retail giant Myer has cancelled a special event to mark the opening of its Christmas Windows over concerns for customer and worker safety due to a threatened pro-Palestine protest, AAP reports.
Activist Group Disrupt Wars had promoted a ‘Crash the Christmas Windows’ demonstration on Sunday, encouraging supporters to bring banners, flags, placards, noise makers and props. A social media post read:
Christmas is cancelled, and there will be no joy or frivolity while children in Gaza are massacred.
In light of recent developments and to ensure the wellbeing and safety of customers and team members, we will no longer hold an event on Bourke Street Mall for the unveiling of our Christmas windows.
Students deserve better. It is clear to me that some students have been let down as a result of these errors and that is completely unaccaptable.
