Excerpt:
The Prime Minister has accused some of Australia’s most senior Muslim leaders of boycotting a meeting with him following his response to the deadly Melbourne terror attack.
He was due to meet with Muslim leaders this week for a round-table discussion in light of the Melbourne incident on November 9, in which two people died.
In the days after that incident, Mr Morrison described “radical, violent, extremist Islam” as the greatest threat to Australia’s national security.
A group of nine, including the Grand Mufti, have now told him they’re deeply disappointed by his comments and want the meeting deferred until their concerns have been addressed.
