The Labor government is 聽everyone that its re-election vindicates its allegedly 鈥渂alanced and moderate policy鈥 on Israel鈥檚 genocide. 鈥淎 clear lesson from the election is that Australians don鈥檛 want political leaders to amplify overseas conflict for their own purposes,鈥 foreign minister Penny Wong said.
Nabulsi rejected that, saying: 鈥淚n the face of the government鈥檚 active complicity in genocide, its peddling of Zionist propaganda, and its attempts to repress any action for Palestine, we declare unequivocally that we will continue to speak and act out for justice. As they escalate their support for genocide, we will escalate our resistance.鈥
The conference will be an important forum to assess and plan that resistance.
