The protesters were breaking special restrictions in place during Isaac Herzog's trip, and police are defending how they handled it. So what happened? And how does the police response leave Australia's Palestinian community feeling? Plus, people with disability say they've been unable to access stages and have been locked out of accessible viewing platforms at Laneway. Could the festival do better?
