On Palestinian recognition, Albanese has outsourced Australian foreign policy to Netanyahu

Labor's middle-way timidity on Gaza genocide sums up Australia's indifference
Labor has tried to walk a fine line on Israel's actions in Gaza. The ramping up of genocide and ethnic cleansing has made that strategy unviable.

When an inmate returned to my prison for the same offense, it was clear that I, as the Governor, needed to take responsibility.
In 99 out of 100 cases, the failure lay with my leadership.
I hope Albo & all the state & territory leaders start to take the same responsibility!
