Anthony Albanese claims hecklers at Lakemba mosque unhappy Labor outlawed ‘extremist organisations’

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was heckled during a visit to Lakemba mosque in Sydney, with attendees heard shouting phrases including "disgrace," "shame," and "genocide supporters," prompting him to make a quick exit. Albanese attributed the heckling to his government's decision to outlaw extremist organizations including Hizb ut-Tahrir, though he provided no evidence supporting that claim. The incident reflects ongoing tension between the Australian government and segments of the Muslim community over Labor's national security policies and perceived stances on Middle East conflicts. The heckling underscores divisions within Australia's largest religious minority as the government pursues legislation targeting designated extremist groups.
