00:00The Australian Government and FISA could do something very simple if they wanted to discourage us from attending here.
00:06They could have absolute radical transparency and tell us where their material goes, who they send it to.
00:13Because up to now, before this war started, they kept celebrating all their connections with Israeli arms manufacturers.
00:20They kept celebrating how they were sending steel from here to Israeli arms manufacturers
00:25to put on the side of armoured vehicles to send into the West Bank and to send into Gaza.
00:30They kept telling us how great it was. Well, we disagree.
00:33And we say that's wrong. And we say you should not be part of arming an occupation
00:38and you should not be part of arming a genocide. And we're saying that here today as well.
00:42This company is also involved with another Israeli arms manufacturer in making the steel for Australian weapons as well.
00:51Tying the Australian economy, the Australian Government, again into Israeli arms manufacturers.
00:57There's a project to spend $45 billion of our public money, which is an incredible amount of money,
01:05on a bunch of things called Hunter Frigates, another weapons platform to be fed into yet another conflict.
01:14And who is this alloy partnering with to put steel into that $45 billion contract?
01:20Yet another Israeli arms manufacturer called Blasat.
01:26I want to say that today we are sending a clear message to Bislay.
01:32As long as you profit on the deaths of Palestinians, we will continue to disrupt your operations.
01:44And lastly, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
