Greens leader accuses prime minister and opposition leader of trying to ‘distract from their complicity’ in Gaza war
The leader of the Greens, Adam Bandt, hit back at the prime minister and the opposition leader, accusing them of “attempting to distract from their complicity” and adding: “I will not be lectured to about peace and non-violence by people who back the invasion of Gaza.”
The prime minister said all political leaders must “prevent conflict in the Middle East from being used as a platform for prejudice here” and there was “no place for antisemitism, prejudice of any sort, Islamophobia, in our communities, at our universities, or outside electorate offices”. After Albanese’s answer, Dutton rose to say that the major parties spoke “with one voice when we condemn acts of violence wherever they take place”.
After Dutton finished speaking, Bandt said the major party leaders had launched “an attack on the Greens”.
