Tony Burke alleges that Opposition Leader Peter Dutton was misled by a deceptive caravan incident in Sydney that the police have deemed bogus and suggests Dutton should apologize for the deception to the public. The Australian Federal Police have declared that the caravan, which was laden with explosives and found in Dural, was a fabricated terror plot, concocted by criminals to spread fear for personal gain. Burke criticized Dutton for contributing to the misinformation and for his reckless statements regarding national security, which turned out to be unfounded. Meanwhile, the police have arrested 14 individuals and executed 11 search warrants as part of their investigation into antisemitic attacks in Sydney, with no direct connection to the caravan plot. The government and opposition both acknowledge the psychological impact on the Jewish community but are divided on the handling of the situation.
