Peter Dutton was stunned by ABC reporter’s question during the press conference
Peter Dutton was stunned on Tuesday afternoon after being asked a question by an ABC reporter during a press conference.
‘What determines the fact that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization?’ the ABC reporter asked.
Taken back, Mr Dutton sought clarification on which media organization the reporter represented.
“So, just to be clear, what is the ABC’s question?” Mr. Dutton asked.
After a brief back and forth conversation, the reporter asked, “Can you explain what defines something as a terrorist organization.”
Dutton fired back, accusing the ABC of being ‘in bigger trouble than he thought’.
“I had previously assumed that the ABC supported the government’s laws,” he explained.
‘The government has passed legislation, supported by both parties, but not by the ABC, it appears, regarding the designation or designation of a terrorist organisation.
“Hezbollah is a designated terrorist organization under Australian law.
Peter Dutton was stunned on Tuesday afternoon after being asked a question by an ABC reporter during a press conference.
“If the ABC doesn’t support that, they need to be very clear about that because I think that’s quite an anomaly. But you asked me why our country put Hezbollah on the list.
“They are a terrorist organisation, they are organizing terrorist attacks, and if that is not clear to the ABC then I think the ABC is in bigger trouble than I originally thought.”
