Seems like performative outrage. I don’t think Wong is actually stupid enough to expect a different outcome after the years she and her government have spent coddling and defending Israel.

  It is more that they assume the people of Australia are stupid after decades of stupidly voting for the duopoly, while pretending one side of it is left of centre, and cares about Australians.

It's time our politicians grew a backbone. Break all ties with Israel. Recall our ambassador. Expel theirs.
