Shadow home affairs minister backs Dutton’s comparison between Port Arthur and 9 October protest Shadow home affairs minister James Paterson has backed comments from Peter Dutton, after he drew comparisons between the Port Arthur massacre and a pro-Palestine protest on 9 October. Paterson told ABC RN Dutton’s speech distinguished the two by stating there were no deaths at the protest, but it was “comparable on its social impact on Australia”.
He argued Albanese has failed to unite the country “in response to a crisis of antisemitism” like John Howard united people for action against gun violence. Asked if he can understand the backlash, particularly from families affected by the Port Arthur massacre who have found the comparison offensive, Paterson said he would “encourage people to read the speech”.
