Trespass charge as Gaza protesters picket PM's office

Anthony Albanese's Marrickville office, in Sydney's inner-west, has been the subject of months-long protests against Australia's response to the conflict in Gaza.

Police said they were called to the Marrickville Rd office at midday on reports of a number of people refusing to leave.

Two people were issued with a move-on direction, before a 33-year-old woman was arrested after allegedly failing to leave the office.

Police said she had been asked to leave by an employee within the office.

In a recording of the arrest on her Instagram page, the woman claimed she was a local constituent and was attending the office to ask for assistance after a visa application for her family members in Gaza had been declined.

"We've paid for a government service, (through) the Department of Foreign Affairs, to apply for a visa which has been declined," she told the police officer.

"You then go to your local member if it's been declined, so they can assist you."

The woman was charged with trespassing on prohibited commonwealth land, and bailed to appear at Newtown Local Court on September 10.

A post on the 'Little Palestine At Albo's' Instagram page urged people to attend the office on Thursday.

"We need numbers at the picket today to show the community we are here to stay until the Labor government commits to sanctioning Israel and stopping the two-way arms trade between Australian and Israel," the post read.

The PM had used the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump to suggest protesting outside MP offices was inappropriate as they can "cross the line".

"People who just dismiss actions outside electorate offices, these things can escalate, which is why they need to be called out unequivocally," he said on Sunday.

"The sorts of incidents we've seen outside some electorate offices are inappropriate ... peaceful demonstrations are fine, but some of the incidents are not and have crossed the line."
