This is the best summary I could come up with:
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has accused the government of “a clear prejudice towards Israel” after Foreign Minister Penny Wong reiterated support for a two-state solution.
Mr Dutton accused the foreign minister of “recklessness” in a speech at the Sydney Opera House on Wednesday evening in which he also called for migrants to be “leave” if they “do not subscribe to our liberal democratic values”.
Support for a two-state solution is a long-established and bipartisan foreign policy position, but the timing of Senator Wong’s remarks were significant given the government’s mounting criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza, especially since an Israeli air strike killed Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom.
Mr Dutton accused Senator Wong of “blam[ing] Israel for a failure of a two-state solution,” calling her remarks “utterly illogical, ill-timed and inappropriate.”
“While no-one was killed during the October 9 protests, [they] were akin to a Port Arthur moment in terms of their social significance,” he said, suggesting Anthony Albanese had failed to respond appropriately.
He explicitly linked this latter comment to immigration, suggesting “there are people in our country today who do not subscribed to our liberal democratic values [and] have ripped up the social contract.”

He’s the best marketing campaign for Labor and the Greens. But I think he’s looking at Trump and thinking “I want some of that”

It normally works is, so he’s doubling down.
