‘Shocked’: Controversial artist reinstated to represent Australia at 2026 Venice Biennale

Liberal MP Julian Leeser says Creative Australia’s decision to reinstate artist Khaled Sabsabi to represent Australia at the 2026 Venice Biennale is “wrong”. “The minister was shocked by these works back in February,” Mr Leeser told Sky News host Steve Price. “I think their decision to reinstate Mr Sabsabi is wrong.”
