A dispute about a $1 billion defence deal has escalated the federal government’s angry clash with the Greens over misinformation about Israel’s invasion of Gaza. Plus, a video has emerged appearing to show Nine’s chair pushing a journalist to the ground. Follow live here.
Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather has defended the party against heated accusations, , that it has spread misinformation and stirred up social disharmony by supporting pro-Palestine protests.On ABC Radio National this morning, the Queensland MP was first asked whether anti-Israel protests in Australia had crossed the line.“Well, of course, we don’t support any protests with things like bricks,” Chandler-Mather said. “What we support is peaceful protest.
”Chandler-Mather then criticised Australian media for focusing more on domestic protests instead of the deaths of 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza since Israel’s invasion began in response to Hamas’ attack on October 7. That surprise attack killed 1200 Israelis.“I would argue that more ink has been spilled, and more airtime has been given, to a small few protests than the fact that there is a historic genocide going on in Gaza, right now,” he said.
