This comes after an Australian court on Monday ordered X to hide some posts commenting on the stabbing of a bishop in Sydney. Albanese on Tuesday hit out at Musk, calling him an"arrogant billionaire" for pushing back against the Australian government's calls to take down the content. Videos of the attack posted online showed the attacker, restrained by the congregation, shouting at the bishop. Police have charged a 16-year-old with a terrorism offence over the attack.
