In response to Australia speaks of normalising Israel. My family is living through its genocide

Show some leadership, Albo and Penny

Trump’s real estate dealmaker mate Witkoff completed his GHF-curated “no famine here” tour of Gaza last week, while NSW’s Chris Minns whinged about the the sheer inconvenience of Sunday’s pro-Palestine demo on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Meanwhile, Albo and Penny Wong are guardedly preparing to recognise Palestinian statehood, given the “state” is one of appalling human horror, rubble and expended American supplied ordinance. Hiba Farra eloquently and heart breakingly makes the point from the perspective of his own family’s experience.

Come on Albo, show us something resembling visibilty, courage and leadership on Palestine. By the same token, Penny could display a lot less verbal condescension and dissemblement to the people and a lot more honesty, clarity and action.
