Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, Greens spokesperson for media and communications has condemned the shooting with rubber bullets of Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi in Los Angeles.
"US authorities shooting an Australian journalist is simply shocking.
"It is completely unacceptable and must be called out.
"The Prime Minister must seek an urgent explanation from the US administration. As Albanese is preparing for his first meeting with President Trump, the first thing he must tell the President is to stop shooting at our journalists.
"Freedom of the press is a fundamental pillar of a strong, functioning democracy."
