    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.

        Labor is a trade unionist party, not a leftist party.

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

      “Israel investigated itself over the killing of an Australian citizen and concluded nobody is criminally responsible. This absolute impunity is an insult to the memory of incredible aid workers like Zomi Frankcom,” said Sarah Schwartz, Executive Director of the Jewish Council of Australia.
