The ongoing controversy around the chocolate shop Max Brenner has become stickier with a group of politicians stepping out in support of the business despite fierce protests by pro-Palestine campaigners.
Max Brenner stores around Australia have been the site of protests by campaigners involed in the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement, or BDS.
