Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has closed his electoral office in Marrickville after over 30 years of operation, citing the rise in protesters as the reason.
The office has been run in the heart of Albanese’s Grayndler electorate in Marrickville, Sydney since 1993, with Albanese serving as the member for all but three of those years.

However, it has also become a magnet for protesters in recent times, specifically those against the Albanese Government’s stance on the Gaza war.

There was vandalism committed against the offices of many MPs around the country, leading to security being tightened; Albanese was told to avoid his Marrickville office for this reason.

Recently, the Albanese government has pledged to recognise Palestinian statehood, and has released public statements condemning the actions of Israel in the conflict.

There is no information on where Albanese’s new electoral office will be located.

“The office will open at a new location in the heart of Grayndler once it is made fit for purpose,” Albanese said.

“The electorate will continue to be serviced by hardworking, dedicated electorate officers at locations in the community, online and via telephone during this time.”
