Independent Australian MPs' group Teal calls for end to insults in parliament after Opposition Leader Dutton's labeling.

The Teal group of independent Australian MPs have called for an end to insults in parliament, following instances where Opposition Leader Peter Dutton was labeled "racist," "bully," and "misogynist." The group suggests these incidents may be the last of such outbursts and questions whether insults should be banned in parliamentary debates. Critics argue that a ban could hinder the democratic process, as MPs need to hold each other accountable and express differing opinions.
