‘Condemn it unequivocally’: Anthony Albanese on anti-Semitism and Islamophobia

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said he condemns both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia during Question Time on Thursday. Mr Albanese’s comments come after Greens MP Jenny Leong was accused of using anti-Jewish tropes at a pro-Palestinian event. The Prime Minister said he condemns “any form of anti-Semitism,” including comments by the Greens MP. “Whose comments about tentacles with regard to the Jewish community – I find it offensive,” he said. “I find it had its origins in anti-Semitism, and I condemn it unequivocally. “Just as I condemn forms of that, I have seen Islamophobic comments and behaviour as well.”
