Islamic Council of Victoria cancels MP Evan Mulholland’s speaking slot over alleged Islamophobic remarks post-Bondi Beach attack.
The Islamic Council of Victoria has rescinded an invitation for Liberal MP Evan Mulholland to speak at Open Mosque Day, citing concerns over recent parliamentary remarks by Mulholland, Premier Matthew Guy, and MP Renee Heath following the December 2023 Bondi Beach terrorist attack.
The council alleged the comments promoted Islamophobia, misrepresented Muslim communities, and included unverified claims about protests and council leadership.
Mulholland defended his record and condemned hate speech, while the council initially issued a public statement accusing the MPs of fostering division before retracting it due to legal concerns.
The incident has deepened tensions between the Victorian Liberal Party and Muslim community leaders over how to address terrorism, free speech, and community relations.
