Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has slammed Anthony Albanese for ‘trying to speak out of both sides of his mouth’ in the wording of an October 7 massacre condolence motion.
The Prime Minister opened parliament on Tuesday by standing on a motion to condemn Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel, paying tribute to ‘every single innocent life’ in the violence.
‘Our government has consistently and repeatedly called for a ceasefire for the release of all hostages and for the protection of all civilians,’ he said.
‘We remain committed to a two state solution as a path to an enduring peace, two states, Israel and Palestine, living peacefully side by side with prosperity and security for their people.’
However, Mr Dutton accused him of putting forward a motion which also recognises Palestinians, rather than solely focusing on the anniversary of 1200 Israeli deaths at the hands of terrorists.
