Peter Dutton calls for Penny Wong to not represent Australia at Auschwitz event
Peter Dutton has criticised the move for Penny Wong to represent Australia at an upcoming commemoration event in Auschwitz with the Opposition leader saying Anthony Albanese should "reverse" the decision.
Minister Wong will lead Australia’s delegation at next week’s event in Poland, to mark 80 years since the final prisoners were freed from the Nazi concentration camp in 1945 – she will be accompanied by Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus and Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism Jillian Segal.
An online petition has been launched calling for Penny Wong to be removed from an event.
Jewish-Australian businesswoman Janet Sernack, who launched the petition, says the Foreign Minister "has not shown the level of understanding, empathy or compassion that our community expects and deserves, especially during these troubling times where anti-Semitism is on the rise in Australia".
The petition has almost achieved its goal of 10,000 signatures.
