Albanese Skips Garma Amid Commitment Questions | Sydney News
Description
Prime Minister Albanese’s absence from this year’s Garma Festival has sparked controversy, despite his past pledge to attend annually. Citing a grueling schedule and his presence at another NT festival that weekend, he defended his decision — even as Indigenous leaders and critics question his commitment. While he’s attended Garma since 2019, his recent policy reversals on tax and stage three cuts have added to the scrutiny. Foreign Minister Penny Wong and Indigenous Affairs Minister Malarndirri McCarthy will step in to represent the government at the major Indigenous gathering.
