During a visit to the Lakemba mosque in Sydney for the Eid al-Fitr celebrations, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was met with significant protests from a section of worshippers. The demonstrators shouted chants such as "shame" and called him a "supporter of genocide," showcasing their anger towards his government’s policies regarding the Palestinian conflict and the recent ban on the extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir. Albanese's visit was intended to promote unity and celebrate the occasion, however, it quickly became a platform for expressing grievances.
