‘Show some leadership’: Australia an ‘international embarrassment’ under Anthony Albanese

Opposition leader Peter Dutton has called for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to “show some leadership”. Mr Dutton’s comments come after the Coalition has called for the Albanese government to exile Iranian Ambassador to Australia Ahmad Sadeghi after he posted a tribute to slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. “I think the Prime Minister here frankly needs to show some leadership, show some strength of character for goodness sake and start acting in our country’s best interest,” Mr Dutton told Sky News host Erin Molan. “Our country’s adrift and we’re an international embarrassment when we have a federal government here making decisions based on domestic political benefit instead of what’s in our country’s best interest. “The Iranian ambassador should be expelled.”
