Member of South Australian Parliament, Tom Koutsantonis, is the target of a silencing campaign orchestrated by the Turkish Embassy in the Australian capital
The Australian-Turkish Community attacked a Greek Australian South Australian MP in a letter to all Members of the South Australian House of Assembly.
The Australian Turkish Advocacy Alliance Executive Secretary Baris Atayman was critical of Tom Koutsantonis MP following “his disbelief” in his proposed motion for the state government to recognise 19 May as the official day of remembrance of the Greek genocide.
Mr Atayman accused the former SA Treasurer that his move was a distraction motivated “solely by Tom Koutsantonis’ personal ethnic bias, irrelevant to the daily needs of the good people of South Australia, who are looking up to their politicians to deliver solutions for more pressing issues such as COVID19 and the subsequent economic fall-out.”
