Föderation EN Mi 29.05.2024 04:20:41 @appassionato @palestine It sounds like it was more about partisan politics than anything else. The Greens advanced the motion, and the other parties backed off in a huff: The Foreign Minister Penny Wong has signalled an openness to recognizing Palestine. My guess is that the government will do it on their own timetable, and won't let themselves be pushed: |

Föderation EN Mi 29.05.2024 04:30:57 @evan @appassionato @palestine At least #Australia has shown the decency to consider recognising a Palestinian State. The neoliberal racist #NewZealand government’s not even acknowledged the atrocities being committed by Israel in Palestine let alone consider human rights of Palestinians. They are currently trying to dismantle te tiriti o Waitangi. The founding document of Aotearoa NZ. Big protests planned for tomorrow against this corrupt #NZPol government. #ToitūTeTiriti |
