Dear Prime Minister: Please don’t involve us further in the illegal US/Israel war on Iran: work for peace, and for relief of hardship by refugees, populations under fire. @AlboMP @SenatorWong @RichardMarlesMP @AngusTaylorMP @Mon4Kooyong

@america False - Australia does NOT have voter ID requirements on polling day. The rationale is to maximise the voter turnout. There is virtually no fraud.

America should not have worse voter ID requirements than every democratic country on Earth.
California and New York actually banned use of ID to vote! It is illegal to show your ID in those states.
The only reason to do this is fraud.

Why doesn’t the United States have Voter ID laws?

Australia and 27 countries have an urgent message: the war in Gaza must end now.
The humanitarian situation is catastrophic. Together with partners, we condemn Israel’s denial of aid and the killing of civilians seeking to access water and food.

Pope denounces use of hunger as ‘weapon of war’ in message to UN conference catholicnewsagency.com/news/265081/po…
English
War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!

Cross your fingers, Australia, and hope the AUKUS deal collapses japantimes.co.jp/commentary/202…

Thanks @SenatorWong: justice demands full and immediate resumption of aid into Gaza and allowing UN and others to do their job, a ceasefire and hostage deal, and, as the UK, France and Canada have called for, an end to Israel's "egregious" military operations. #Gaza
Senator Penny Wong@SenatorWong
Australia is part of the international call on Israel to allow the full and immediate resumption of aid into Gaza. Israel must enable UN and humanitarian organisations to do their life saving work. We urge all parties to return to a ceasefire and hostage deal.

@SenatorWong Good, as far as it goes. But 1% of budget is a target that would better meet the pressing needs of our region and our own national interests. #micah @ACFID

In this year’s Budget, the Albanese Government is reprioritising Australia’s Official Development Assistance to address immediate gaps and vulnerabilities in our region.

Civilians are still suffering and dying in Gaza. DAys ago France, Germany and the UK called on Israel to restore water and electricity, and ensure access to medical care. @SenatorWong supported this. The cries of the people must not be ignored.
English
@SenatorWong humanitarian access, food, medical and utility supplies are fundamental, and required by international law. This is urgent.
English
Australia urges all parties to respect the terms of the Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal.
All civilians must be protected.

The #DeathPenalty is always inadmissible, because it attacks the inviolability and dignity of the person. I appeal for its abolition in all countries of the world. We must not forget that a person can repent and change, even up until the very last moment of their life.

Good news that UK to scrap their plan to deport refugees to Rwanda. Surely it’s time for an Australian Labor government to review its offshoring policy @AlboMP @andrewjgiles @ClareONeilMP

Notwithstanding the heinous attacks on Israeli citizens, the Israeli Government must heed the cries of the oppressed for a ceasefire and access for assistance in Gaza. The release of all hostages and the resumption of UNWRA funding also remain pressing @CaritasAust @SenatorWong

Disturbing to read that Austalia is again detaining people on Nauru - in this troubled world both Australia and Nauru can surely do better than this @CAPSA_WeCan @Mon4Kooyong @andrewjgiles @ClareONeilMP @Republic_Nauru
CAPSA@CAPSA_WeCan
CAPSA is gravely concerned by confirmed reports that the Australia Government has again sent at least 11 people into detention on Nauru, only months after the last people seeking asylum were evacuated back to Australia.
