‘Utterly unacceptable’: Dutton calls on Labor to ‘reconsider’ UNWRA funding

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has called for the Albanese government to “reconsider” their funding of UNWRA after the UN organisation fired nine staff over suspicion they were involved in the October 7 attacks.

Nine UNWRA staff members have been fired over suspicion they may have been involved in the October 7 attacks on Israel.

“It’s obviously a very significant revelation and not one that will come as a surprise to many people,” Mr Dutton told Sky News Australia.

“It should cause the Albanese government to reconsider their involvement, their engagement, their funding of UNWRA.

“It’s completely and utterly unacceptable that a UN agency would have employees involved in, or alleged to have been involved in, the October 7 tragedy.”
