Australia’s PM called a ‘putrid dog’ and chased out of mosque

Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was called a “putrid dog” and a “genocide supporter” before being chased out of the country's largest mosque on Friday (20 March). Protesters were expressing anger over his position on ally Israel's offensive in Gaza. Footage shows demonstrators interrupting proceedings shortly after Mr Albanese and Australia’s Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke joined worshippers at Lakemba Mosque to mark the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. The Prime Minister appeared unperturbed by the incident, later describing the event as “incredibly positive”.
