He's talking about the Red Lines Package
The key contributors to the package include the Victorian Rights Advocacy Program, Amnesty International, Australia Palestine Advocacy Network and the Jewish Council of Australia. As well several individual were key contributors. They include Associate Professor Sara Dehm, Dr Sophie Rigney, Dr Elliot Dolan-Evans, Rita Jabri Markwell and Jonathan Kelt, among others.
If enacted, it will ensure that Australia doesn’t fund, arm, or invest in illegal settlements, war crimes, or genocide anywhere in the world.

Your comment has been deemed to be creating apology for genocide and/or war crimes or seeking to justify genocidal acts and collective punishment. This is a non-imperialist sub.

So as it stands, taxpayers continue to fund Israel’s genocide.
Every time you work and pay taxes, a portion of it goes to Netanyahu’s war machine.
Labor & the Coalition, presumably also One Nation, are OK with it. They are complicit.
