Albanese Slams Shooting of Australian Journalist at LA Protest

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has strongly condemned the shooting of an Australian journalist with a rubber bullet during protests in Los Angeles, describing footage of the incident as “horrific.”

Albanese said his government had made representations to the Trump administration over the incident. A video released online showed Nine News reporter Lauren Tomasi being hit with a rubber bullet that appeared to be fired by a police officer while covering the Los Angeles protests on Sunday.
