A legal firm that came after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese earlier this year with claims the Australian government was “complicit in genocide” in Gaza, has now launched a separate case specifically targeting Opposition Leader Peter Dutton.

Birchgrove Legal released a two-page statement on Nov. 25, talking about the case it lodged against Dutton with the Australian Human Rights Commission under the country’s Racial Discrimination Act.
