Richard Marles expresses ‘concern’ for his staff' after office vandalised by pro-Palestinians

Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Richard Marles says his primary concern in the aftermath of his office being vandalised by pro-Palestinians is for the “safety and wellbeing” of his staff.

“My principle concern is, as you would expect - for my staff, for their safety, and their well-being,” Mr Marles told Sky News Australia host Peter Stefanovic.

“I was obviously in contact with them yesterday and they’re fine.

“This is a really difficult situation internationally, it does raise a whole lot of concerns for people in Australia and in a variety of ways.

Mr Marles’ Geelong office was doused in red paint by pro-Palestinian supporters on Wednesday night.

The paint was supposed to represent the “blood of children.”

“Stop arming Israel” and “river of blood on your hands Marles” were also written across the outer walls of the Corio member’s Yarra St office.
