During a recent parliamentary session, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton took aim at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for his handling of the October 7 terror attack on Israel. Dutton accused Albanese of inciting antisemitism with his response to the attack and criticized him for not reaching a bipartisan agreement during their earlier meetings.
In response, Albanese introduced a motion to condemn the attack and honor its victims, as well as calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and a diplomatic solution in Lebanon. He emphasized the importance of innocent lives, stating that the lives of every Israeli, Palestinian, and Lebanese person matter.
Albanese also reaffirmed the government's commitment to a two-state solution for lasting peace in the region. However, Dutton was not convinced and refused to support the motion. He accused the government of trying to please both sides of the debate, which has only fueled the rise of antisemitism in society.
Dutton also criticized Albanese for not showing enough respect to the Jewish community in his response to the attack. He claimed that the prime minister's rejection of a bipartisan agreement was for his own political gain and that this has been recognized by millions of Australians.
As Dutton made these remarks in parliament, Albanese could be seen shaking his head in disagreement. The debate over the government's response to the October 7 terror attack continues to be a contentious issue and has sparked a larger conversation about the rise of antisemitism in society.
