Because I imagine a state needs to be defined physically before it can be recognised. It seems you don’t care enough to track down the statement parliament was asked to sign.
Labor are focused on the hard yards of a 2SS, Greens are trolling with theatre. In fact Greens may not even support a 2SS because it goes against the call of “from the river to the sea”.

I saw the statement before I ever saw the result of the vote. It’s excruciatingly simple.
This House recognise the State of Palestine.
It couldn’t be more simple.
Labor doesn’t support it because they support Israel and the genocide Israel is perpetuating. Or to be more accurate, they’re accepting of genocide as long as it doesn’t upset America. There’s nothing more to it.
The idea that Labor is putting in any sort of “hard yards” is utterly laughable, considering they’re selling weapons to and buying them from the perpetrators of genocide.
Words are worth nothing compared to action. With a stroke of a pen she could recognise the Palestinian state. With little more effort than that, the Government could cease selling or buying weapons from Israel. Not doing so is a deliberate choice to signal support for Israel.
If you’re going to continue defending genocide, I’m done here. I won’t put up with that shit.
It isn’t “action” to recognize a borderless state. Or are we talking about recognizing a government? A dictatorial, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, racist government in the form of Hamas.
Supplying weapons at this point I believe to be unethical because the invasion of Rafah is futile except as an excuse for ethnic cleansing. The same kind of cleansing that Hamas have been hell-bent on for decades. I am not in favor of either.
Israel isn’t committing “genocide” though. That is not what the UN called it and for good reason.
lsrael could kill every Palestinian if they wanted to but choose not to.
Hamas wants to kill every Jewish Israeli but cannot.
You haven’t told me why you care. Do you not think Palestine should be recognised as an independent country?

That is simpleton level of simplicity.
Penny Wong went to the region pushing the 2SS. That is about 15 million yards.
