Albanese and Dutton ‘eight months too late’ with Greens’ Gaza protests condemnation

Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Paterson says the bipartisan condemnation of the Greens’ involvement in Gaza protests has come “eight months too late”, despite it being a "very welcome move." Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton united in parliament to condemn the Greens' involvement in pro-Palestinian protests, accusing the party of inflaming tensions of social cohesion. “I think it’s very welcome that the major parties stood up and condemned the Greens,” Mr Paterson told Sky News Australia. “Although frankly I think it’s eight months too late. “The Green’s have been engaged in totally unprincipled, and dangerous escalation of rhetoric around the conflict in Gaza here in Australia.”
