City of Melbourne slammed for ‘grandstand theatrics’ ahead of tonight’s ceasefire motion

Sharon says the council needs to understand the motion is decisive and has opposition.

“They might think they’re appeasing or pleasing a loud minority, a majority of people are not for this, we don’t want a terrorist organisation and we don’t want to to see our city taking sides,” she told Tom Elliott.
