Mark Dreyfus News

Attorney General,Greens,Question Time

Greens leader Adam Bandt has threatened to sue federal Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus for defamation over comments he made alluding to the party’s role in stoking violent attacks on government MPs’ offices amid heightened ethnic tensions over the Israel-Gaza war.

Greens leader Adam Bandt has declared his intention to sue Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus over comments related to the party's pro-Palestine stance he claims were defamatory.

“I think that the first law officer of this country should not make utterly unfounded statements and spread disinformation. No politician should do that.” “The victims are the over 36,000 people killed in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the hostages, and the 1200 people killed on October 7, compounded by the failure of the Labor government to take action against the Israeli government’s invasion,” he said.

“I have been made aware… of a number of offices that have had to close for multiple days in the last several months,” the Attorney-General told “I think that the Greens political party and particularly the leader of the Greens political party have got something to answer for here in the way that they have been encouraging criminal damage of MPs’ electorate offices, encouraging really riotist behaviour, sometimes violent behaviour, that has been occurring outside electorate offices.
