Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton have launched a joint attack on the Greens over their support for abusive pro-Palestine protestors who have attacked the offices of MPs.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has received backing from Opposition Leader Peter Dutton as both leaders attacked the Greens for the party's support of"unacceptable" pro-Palestinian protests targeting the offices of MPs.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong became involved in a heated exchange with Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John on Monday accusing him of"collaborating" with abusive protestors and encouraging division. Tensions between the two parties flared again on Wednesday, with the Prime Minister using a question from Teal MP Sophie Scamps to call out the Greens for supporting attacks on MP's offices, including his own.
Mr Albanese accused protestors of intimidation tactics, preventing constituents from accessing their representatives for assistance on"Medicare, social security, migration and other issues," and argued staffers working in those offices deserved"respect, not abuse, not assault." "Not because they've done anything wrong, not because their families have done anything wrong… because they are Jewish.
