In the words of the Australian Jewish Association :
An ugly anti-Israel protest took place with the seeming approval of the NSW Law Society.
However, as Mahmud Hawila states in his Linkedin feed, the video of this incident has been posted on the NSW Supreme Court Youtube page. The Chief Justice Andrew Bell is ultimately responsible for conduct in his court, but has been unwilling to address the misconduct of his underlings.

NSW Supreme Court position in favour of sharia not matched by any statement in favour of other faiths-Perception of bias among adherents of other faiths justified
by Ganesh Sahathevan
The. NSW Supreme Court's position in favour of sharia is not matched by any similar statement in favour of other faiths. There is at least a perception of bias, especially given the somewhat sanitized version of sharia that the Court describes, which it says is not incompatible with Australian law.
TO BE READ WITH
Readers are referred to the article published earlier on this blog about the views of the Governor designate NSW, the former President Of The Court Of Appeal NSW Margaret Beazley AO.
The Governor designate's views are contained in a speech that continues to be broadcast (or "published") to the whole world on the NSW Supreme Court website:
Governor designate Margaret Beazley AO will have to clarify her position on Islam very soon.:Her silence in the case of the Malaysian lesbians punished by caning maybe acceptable among judges but not from the Queen's representative
The story above includes this paragraph which the Legal Profession Admission Board NSW, whose chairman is the Chief Justice NSW Tom Bathurst, have deemed to be defamatory ,and lacking "insight":
The Hon Justice M J Beazley AO, President Of The Court Of Appeal ,State Of NSW, Australia ,said in a speech delivered in 2014, but not widely reported:
"...despite a perception that Islam and the Australian law are incompatible, this is not borne out by the caselaw"
She did so in conjunction with the Affinity Intercultural Foundation, the Australian arm of the Fetullah Gulen movement. While Gulen and his followers have been recently victimised by former friend and ally Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the president of Turkey who they helped install, Gulen and his people are not innocent of jihadi activity.
They are nevertheless quite adapt at recruiting Western "intellectuals" to promote their, cause, Her Honour is only the most recent.
Now , compare the views of the highly learned justices to that of the Sultan Of Brunei, an absolute monarch of a Muslim country:
A Powerful Message From Brunei to the World
Why
do you care so much what's happening here in an Islamic nation when you
didn't even bat an eyelid about the Syrians, Bosnians, Rohingyas,
Palestinians, etc.
“In your countries you practice
freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion, etc. It’s in
your constitution. It’s your political system, your national identity,
your rights, your way of life. In my country, we practice a Malay,
Islamic, Monarchical system and we’re going to start practicing the laws
of Islam, Shari’ah Law. Islam is in our constitution, our national
identity, our rights, our way of life. We may find loopholes in your
laws and justice system, and you may have found ours, but this is our
country. Just like you practice your right to be gay, etc. for this
world you live in now, we practice our rights to be Muslims for this
world and the Hereafter. This is an Islamic country practicing Islamic
Law. Why don’t you worry about your kids being gunned down in schools,
worry about your prisons being unable to accommodate convicts, worry
about your high rate of crimes and DUIs, worry about your high suicide
and abortion rate, worry about whatever it is that you should be worried
about there. Many religions are against homosexuality, it’s nothing
new. The moment you hear that Islam and Muslims making a stand and
trying to reaffirm their faith, you judge, you boycott, you say that
it’s wrong, it’s stupid, it’s barbaric. Again, go back to those worries
that you should focus on I’ve mentioned earlier. Is it not wrong to
legalize deadly weapons, is it not wrong to allow unborn babies to be
killed, is it not wrong to allow a lifestyle that results in AIDS and
discontinuation of the next generation? Why do you care so much what’s
happening here in an Islamic nation when you didn’t even bat an eyelid
about the Syrians, Bosnians, Rohingyas, Palestinians, etc. Thousands are
being killed there and you don’t care, not one is killed here under
this Shari’ah Law, and you make a big fuss, even when the citizens here
who are directly affected by it, accepts it with peace. Punishments may
be harsher but it does not mean it’s easier to be carried out. There are
processes to go through before an actual conviction. We are fine with
it, we are happy.”
Government of Brunei
