Anger at the Australian government over the war in the Middle East has spilled over at an Eid event in Australia’s largest mosque.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke were heckled by some worshippers while attending prayers in Lakemba.
Albanese says the overall reception was positive and has blamed the anger on Labor laws against “extremist organisations,” a claim strongly rejected by some in the community.
