Anthony Albanese is forced to close his electorate office after ‘aggressive protesters blocked access’
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been forced to close his electorate office after years of protests.
The Grayndler office on Marrickville Road in Sydney, NSW has been vandalised and blockaded, and has since been taken over by pro-Palestine activists.
Albanese announced on Sunday that the space would be closed as the lease had been discontinued after 30 years.
‘Sadly, over the past two years, aggressive protesters have repeatedly blocked access to the electorate office for people seeking assistance,’ he said.
‘This has also significantly impacted churchgoers attending the neighbouring St Clements Church, including disruption to funerals and other church services.
‘I’m incredibly proud of the work electorate officers, past and present, have done in assisting my community from this location.
‘The electorate will continue to be serviced by hardworking, dedicated electorate officers at locations in the community, online and via telephone during this time.’
More to come.
