On 15 May, Ambassador Abdulhadi attended an event to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, hosted in Melbourne by the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) Victoria in support and solidarity with the just struggle of the Palestinian people and their inalienable rights. The importance and significance of Australia recognising the State of Palestine was an important recurring theme at this event.
