Pro-Palestinian protesters are refusing to leave the electorate office of Defence Minister Richard Marles after storming in and demanding an end to the war.
The group of over two dozen masked protestors have been performing a sit-in demonstration in the Brougham Street office in Geelong in Victoria since 10am.
Some have chained themselves to a ladder while others can be seen holding banners with 'ALP SUPPORTS ETHNIC CLEANSING' and 'STOP ARMING ISRAEL'.
Several demonstrators have uploaded photos and videos of themselves inside the office online and are describing themselves as anti-Zionist.
Police are currently at the scene.
