    <span>If not he may receive the Sydney peace award. A meager consolation. Hanan Ashrawi did a while back but the Mayor of Sydney, Lucy Turnbull, a staunch right wing Zionist, refused to hand her the prize. Pretext? "Ashrawi is a  supporter of terrorism (sic)". The premier of the state, (labor party)  intervened and handed her the prize. Right wing aussies make me feel like throwing up. Labor on this, are generally hardly better but at least there are exceptions..</span>
