Greens leader David Shoebridge criticised by Labor MP Josh Burns over Jewish community comments

In short: Labor MP Josh Burns has criticised new Greens leader David Shoebridge over comments about the party's relationship with Jewish Australians. Mr Burns said Senator Shoebridge's focus on those who shared the Greens' views on the Middle East were not "inclusive". What's next?

Labor has said it still hopes to have "constructive" relationships with the new Greens leadership team. A Labor MP has accused new Greens leader David Shoebridge of "prejudice" for singling out Jewish Australians who share his party's views on Gaza when asked about repairing relations with the broader community. Macnamara MP Josh Burns, who is Jewish, said he found the comments by Senator Shoebridge "pretty shocking" and argued people should not be "judged" on whether they agreed with the Greens leader or not.
