?Dangerous game?: Labor accuses Scott Morrison of wanting to ?embrace? views of anti-vaccine protests

Labor's shadow treasurer Jim Chalmers has blasted prime minister Scott Morrison for wanting to "embrace" the violent politics of anti-vaccine protests, accusing him of trying to divide the country for political gain.

After mass "freedom" rallies held across the country on Saturday, Chalmers said Morrison's failure to strongly condemn the violent threats seen in Victoria last week was a "dangerous game with dangerous consequences".

"What the prime minister is doing is he's trying to divide us and he's trying to diminish that collective effort and undermine all of the good and all of the progress that Australians have made together," Chalmers told the ABC's Insiders program on Sunday.

"He does that with this dangerous, dog-whistling doublespeak that we see from him. He does it by claiming credit for high vaccination rates without taking responsibility for the measures that are necessary to get those rates up.

"And I think what's especially troubling to mainstream Australia is the rest of us see the kind of violent politics that has emerged in the United States in the last couple of years and we want to reject it, and the prime minister seems to want to embrace those kind of violent views and violent threats.

"If he wants to keep playing this dangerous game with dangerous consequences, then the country doesn't just have an opportunity to throw him out of the election, they've got an obligation to do that."

Chalmers said he condemned "without reservation, without qualification" the threats being made in the anti-government protests, which have included calls for premiers to be hanged and protesters in Melbourne parading with gallows and nooses.
