I wasn't concentrating specifically on Aus either, just pointing out that a prominent member of "the west" is brutally attempting to silence dissent, which they are. Yes, I am trying to say that criticism of Israel isn't looked upon kindly in Australia -- or in France, or in Germany, or in Italy, or in the Netherlands -- and there's no dearth of police brutality to be had in the US and Canada either.
As for arresting Netanyahu, Belgium and Hungary have straight up said they'll be doing no such thing, and Greece was more than happy to welcome him despite there being an ICC arrest warrant out for him. Germany's obviously not going to arrest him, France has done everything possible to be as lily-livered and non-committal about it as possible while backtracking on Palestinian recognition.
So no, it hasn't "been permitted" indefinitely. The tide is turning amongst the people, but governments are still being as heavy-handed and militaristic as possible to shield their genocidaire buddies and the military contracts they bring.
