Myer Cancels Christmas Windows Unveiling Over Safety

Myer has canceled its annual Christmas window unveiling in Melbourne due to a planned protest by the pro-Palestinian group Disrupt Wars, citing safety concerns. The protest, labeled 'Crash the Christmas Windows,' aimed to draw attention to the situation in Gaza. Victoria's Premier Jacinta Allan condemned the politicization of the event, while critics including Melbourne's Lord Mayor Nick Reece and Liberal MP Sussan Ley criticized the protest for disrupting a family tradition. The incident sparked a broader debate over the state's move-on laws, with opposition figures blaming the Labor government's policies for encouraging disruptive protests. Myer stated that the cancellation was to ensure the safety of customers and staff and reaffirmed their commitment to providing a positive experience for visitors.
