Australia UN abstention vote on Israel-Gaza resolution

Zionist Federation of Australia President < 1 mins read

Zionist Federation of Australia President, Jeremy Leibler, said “Australia made the right decision not to support a UN General Assembly resolution on Gaza that failed to condemn the barbaric terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas on 7 October or call for the release of the 229 hostages held by Hamas.”

“We share the world’s empathy for innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Their suffering is a direct result of Hamas’s actions and is exacerbated by Hamas’s continued use of Palestinians as human shields and their refusal to share fuel, food and water with their own people.”

“The plight of innocent Palestinians will not improve if the world refuses to call out the source of their suffering. Hamas must not be allowed to continue to attack Israel and oppress its own people. Accordingly, we would have preferred if Australia followed the lead of the United States and voted No rather than abstain on the final resolution.”

Family First to punish pro-abortion Libs and Nats

Liberal and Nationals MPs who vote for Greens MLC Amanda Cohn’s radical abortion bill will not receive Family First preferences at the next NSW state election. ​Mark Speakman and Dugald Saunders have granted their Liberal and Nationals MPs a conscience vote, despite the bill giving powers to the government to close Catholic hospitals unless they kill unborn babies up until, and in some cases after, birth. Family First National Director Lyle Shelton said Liberals and Nationals who vote to trash the conscience rights of pro-life health professionals do not deserve the support of mainstream voters. “Just as we did when…

New Family First Ad Exposes the Truth Behind Soaring Power Bills

Family First has launched a hard-hitting new ad campaign exposing the real reason families are being smashed by rising electricity prices — and it’s not what the major parties are telling you. Family First’s lead Senate candidate for Queensland, Katie Lush, says the Albanese Government’s promise to cut power prices by $275 has been exposed as a cruel hoax. “Despite all the spin, families are paying more than ever — and the reason is simple: both Labor and Liberal are obsessed with the globalist net zero agenda,” Ms Lush said. “Instead of using Queensland’s abundant coal, gas and uranium to…
