Minister for Home Affairs and Cyber Security Tony Burke has called for Australians to bring the political temperature down after former Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe told a pro-Palestine rally she would be willing to burn down Parliament House.
Addressing the Melbourne crowd on Oct. 12, she said: “We stand with you every day, and we will fight every day, and we will turn up every day, and if I have to burn down Parliament House to make a point … I am not there to make friends.”
