Well that's good and all, and I'm not saying they shouldn't protest, but what possible result do they expect from this? At best, the Australian government could put some sort of political pressure on Israel, which they will ignore. I'm just not sure what the purpose here is?

Australia sells weapon parts to the Israeli government some irreplaceable, so at the very least stopping that.

Okay well I didn't know they were doing that, so yes..that's something worthwhile for sure.

300,000?
90,000 according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation:

90k is the lowest estimate, 300k is the highest. Not surprised about the choices of either publisher. Also love the "most perilous" situation quote. As if police were ever concerned about the protesters. Interesting that the protest was not allowed to reach its destination: US embassy.
