Albanese Protests US Police Shooting of Australian Journalist
Nine Network’s US correspondent, Lauren Tomasi, was struck by a rubber bullet fired by Los Angeles police while covering immigration protests. Prime Minister Albanese, after speaking with Tomasi, confirmed the incident was raised with US authorities, calling the footage “horrific.” While Tomasi is recovering, the Australian government considers the shooting unacceptable given her clear identification as a journalist. However, Albanese remained noncommittal on whether he would directly address the incident with President Trump during their upcoming meeting.
