Activists from the Brisbane-based group Justice for Palestine picketed the office of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on July 9. The action marked the five-year anniversary of the International Court of Justice decision declaring Israel's apartheid wall "contrary to international law".

The picketers marched into Rudd's office chanting "Free free Palestine". They handed over 500 petitions calling on the Rudd government to end ties with Israel and to impose sanctions on it.
