Sydney Mardi Gras Bars Pride in Protest From Parade Over Posts Targeting Jewish Float

Organisers cite a code-of-conduct breach tied to unremoved Instagram claims about Dayenu.

Overview

  • Mardi Gras says it asked Pride in Protest at 11am Friday to delete posts calling Dayenu 'pro‑genocide' and set a 5pm deadline under rules against harassment, bullying and discrimination.
  • Organisers report the group did not acknowledge the warnings, and the exclusion was confirmed in a 9pm Friday email.
  • Pride in Protest denounces the ban as censorship and alleges the CEO said truthfulness 'did not matter', and the group has called a 3:30pm march from Town Hall to Hyde Park.
  • Dayenu says it was deeply offended by the posts, describes itself as not a Zionist organisation, and backs enforcement of conduct standards after deciding to rejoin the parade following a brief withdrawal over safety concerns.
  • NSW Police plan a high‑visibility operation for the 7:30pm parade and have flagged no imminent threat, as Greens MP Amanda Cohn criticises the decision to remove Pride in Protest.
