Australia backs UN resolution calling for end to Israel's presence in Occupied Palestinian Territory
www.abc.net.au
Australia changes its position to support a UN resolution demanding "Israel bring to an end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible".

Australia has voted in favour of a UN resolution demanding Israel rapidly end its occupation of the Palestinian Territories. The vote represents a shift in a longstanding position. Australia abstained on similar resolutions at previous meetings of the General Assembly.

      Yea I’m not sure, I just know Penny Wong did that shit a few months ago, and now this.

      This government isn’t really a bleeding heart kind of left, so I doubt it’s because of ideological considerations.

      More likely it’s some kind of political calculation based on the Trump presidency, geopolitical skullduggery, or domestic politics between them and the greens.
