I hold little to no hope the Israeli’s will hold any of their IDF accountable for this. If there will be justice it’ll come from outside pressure. Which seems largely non-existent in halls of power.

Something our weak PM could do however is commit his government’s financial and logistics support to well run and effective charities like World Central Kitchen.

Call it the ‘Zomi Fund’ (with the families permission) and direct the fund to support a tight range of international non-military alligned food and medecine charities. Increase Australia’s aid budget to do so, and hopefully replace a little of what has been lost due to USAID cuts.

It’d give the added benefit of giving the government the ability to claim they’re acting on refugee and illegal migration in a humanitarian way, give the talking heads something more complex than ‘der… stop boats!’ to chew over.

Thwre were British and Polish people in that convoy as well. The Aus government could coordinate with those countries to implement separate but equivalent funds to compound the effects.
