I don’t trust Sky News as far as I could kick them, but I can’t find any reporting by non-Murdoch publications (or even the more reputable Murdoch ones). If anyone can find reporting other than Sky News and the Daily Mail, let me know.

With that in mind, I’m cautious that Sky News’ coverage is missing details, if only because they’ve half-arsed it. If the guy was being a menace, surely they would have used whatever details were available to paint an anti-israel activist in a bad light.

The man was charged with two counts of behaving in offensive manner in/near public place and one count of stalk/intimidate intend fear physical harm.

Seems like overkill if he was in fact just wearing a shirt around. I think it may be technically/arguably illegal to have a shirt with ‘fuck’ written on it, but it’s very selectively enforced. The case brought against Sydney activist Danny Lim a few years back comes to mind.
