The Albanese government has come under fire for its approach to Palestinian visas as it considers a new “special visa pathway” for refugees fleeing Gaza to allow them to stay in Australia.
The Albanese government has been accused of “playing with fire” as it considers a special visa pathway for Palestinian refugees fleeing Gaza despite ASIO raising Australia’s terrorism threat level to “probable”.

Mr Burke's electorate of Watson is home to a large Muslim population with the minister at risk of a possible challenge at the next election from a community independent over the government's response to the war in Gaza. He argued the Labor Party “lives in fear” of a problem similar to what its UK Labour counterpart faced as the country went to the polls in July.
“It's certainly not because he's got a great record in it. Given that in just 80 days as minister, he allowed 83 boats to arrive, 6634 people and a record of 1992 children in detention. That's nothing to be proud of.”In a poll conducted by Reuters last month, two-thirds of Palestinians backed the Hamas terror attack against Israelis on October 7, which led to more than 1110 deaths and hundreds of hostages taken into Gaza.
