Australia has granted more than 2600 visas to Palestinians since Hamas' October 7 terror attack on Israel.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton has called for a complete ban on Palestinian refugees from entering Australia, claiming it is putting our national security at risk.
To that, Albanese said: "If the Leader of the Opposition doesn't have confidence in that system, he should say so." He invited Dutton to his Western Sydney electorate — which has one of largest populations of Muslims in the city — and meet Gazans who have settled into Australia."These are people who've had their home blown up, who've had their school blown up, who've had their hospital blown up, in some cases have had their kids blown up, and these are people who are trying to rebuild their lives here in Australia.
