‘World’s slowest’: Australian government ‘delayed’ branding the Houthis as terrorists

Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Paterson criticises the government’s process of branding the Houthis as a terrorist organisation as the “world’s slowest”. This comes amid criticism of the Labor government for their delay in branding the Houthis as a terrorist organisation. “This would have to be one of the world’s slowest terrorist listings ever,” Mr Paterson told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “They took nearly six months to make a decision to list the Houthis. “In the statement of reasons … there are extraordinary and inexplicable delays throughout that process.”
