Australia PM heckled at Sydney mosque Ramadan event

In response to the incident, Morrison later stated that he respects the right to peaceful protest and free speech but condemned the disruption of the event. He highlighted the importance of engaging in constructive conversations to address differences and build a cohesive society.
