  • Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says the firebombing of a Melbourne synagogue was the unsurprising result of the Prime Minister's 'deplorable' handling of the Middle East conflict.

Peter Dutton, the Opposition Leader, has labeled an attack on a Sydney synagogue as "terrorism, pure and simple," following an incident where a 16-year-old boy allegedly threw a rock through the window of the synagogue in Bondi. This act, which occurred amidst heightened tensions due to the Israel-Hamas conflict, has been condemned by both Dutton and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The teenager, who reportedly has mental health issues, was arrested and charged with damaging property with intent to incite fear. Dutton criticized the lack of action from the Prime Minister, suggesting that Albanese should have visited the site to show solidarity with the Jewish community. The incident has raised concerns about community safety and the need for stronger measures against hate crimes, with Dutton calling for a more robust response to such acts of violence.
