  Four in five Australians are in favour of a ceasefire in Gaza (81%), and a majority (53%) support the Australian Government taking more action to achieve that goal, new polling has found.

    It’d be interesting to know why some people want a ceasefire, yet do not want their government to take any action to reach that goal.

      Reminds me of people wanting the environment saved but not making any personal sacrifices for it.

      Maybe back then a lot of respondents thought a ceasefire was all that was needed to solve the issue, therefore no other action would be required.

      From memory ceasefire now was the main demand at the weekly rallies and protests, from Palestinians here and abroad and among advocates in the media so it would make sense that it was in people’s minds.

      It probably didn’t hurt that it didn’t require Australia to do anything either.

  Must feel bad realising your pro-genocide stance is putting you in an ever decreasing minority, eh?
