dailymail.co.uk

Peter Dutton, the leader of the Opposition in Australia, faced disruptions during a speech in Sydney on Thursday. He was speaking at the Lowy Institute when two protesters interrupted him. One protester jumped up with a blue banner against the Coalition's pro-nuclear power policy. He shouted, "Mr. Dutton, why are you lying to the Australian people about the cost of nuclear?" Security quickly removed him from the venue. Dutton continued speaking but was interrupted again. A second man also tried to speak over him and was dragged out by a security guard. This incident marked the second time in two days that protesters disrupted a major speech. Dutton remained calm and carried on with his address despite the interruptions. The protests highlight ongoing tensions surrounding the Coalition's energy policies.
