Swan accuses Dutton of ‘playing politics’ with Trump’s move to take over Gaza
ALP national president Wayne Swan says Peter Dutton is “playing politics” amid US president Donald Trump’s move to displace almost two million Palestinians and take over Gaza.
I think our prime minister has been quite sober and rational about this, but it is not a reasonable idea, and it’s not shrewd as described by Peter Dutton.
So I think the prime minister has done the right thing. And Peter Dutton is out there playing politics.
But the issue, I think, here that we’re missing is that Gaza has completely been destroyed … It’s devastating to see those kind of images. So there needs to be a rebuild. There needs to be a place that people can come back to in a safe haven for them to call home.
