At a busy inner-city Canberra polling booth, a man confronted the incumbent finance minister with accusations of genocide.

Labor ACT senate candidate Katy Gallagher was leaving the Lyneham Public School polling booth when she was approached by James Godfrey, spokesperson for pro-Palestinian group Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

"You're a minister in this government and you're doing nothing," Mr Godfrey yells at Senator Gallagher.

"Palestinians in Gaza are being starved at the moment.

"Sixty days plus of no food, no water, no medicines and no fuel and your government is complicit in this genocide."

Mr Godfrey says a Freedom Flotilla ship carrying aid bound for Gaza was recently attacked by drones.

"Our ship's been attacked in international waters off the east coast of Malta," he tells reporters afterward.

"There's been fires on board, and we're trying to transport humanitarian aid to Gaza and the Australian government won't speak out against it."
