Adam Bandt said comments Mark Dreyfus made about the Greens and pro-Palestinian activists were 'utterly unfounded'.
Greens leader Adam Bandt says his lawyers have written to Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus over comments Bandt claims were defamatory to him and the Greens party. The comments were regarding the Greens' involvement in pro-Palestinian protests and were made in an interview with the ABC. They were not covered by parliamentary privilege. "I understand a number of media outlets have chosen to stop broadcasting and publishing his statements because of legal concerns.
Bandt and the Greens party have expressed support for Palestinians throughout the ongoing Hamas-Israel war in Gaza. On Wednesday, the government and Opposition both condemned pro-Palestinian protests outside electorate offices, accusing the Greens of inflaming tensions about the conflict. "Enough is enough. The time for senators and members of parliament to continue to inflame tension outside of these offices must end," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.
