Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has blood on his hands.
After over 6 months of Israelʼs genocide in Gaza over 34,000 Palestinians have been murdered.
The Albanese government is Israelʼs accomplice. His government gives Israel endless political support.
Albanese said he stands with Israel. Like Joe Biden, he has said an enduring ceasefire is only possible if Hamas lays down their arms. This gives a green light for Israel to continue slaughtering Palestinians.
Shamefully, the Albanese government is also arming Israelʼs genocide. Australian companies make parts for the F-35 jets Israel is using to drop bombs on Gaza. Some of these parts are made at the factory of Australian company Quickstep in Bankstown. The government fully supports this criminal enterprise. Albanese offers grants of up to $1.5 million for companies that make F-35 components.
Business as usual continues with Israeli companies. Albanese cried crocodile tears and called for “full accountability” following Israelʼs murder of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom. Israel has killed hundreds of other aid workers. But his government has given a massive $917 million contract to Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems. Elbit made the drone that killed Zomi. Israelʼs Zim shipping still enjoys access to Australiaʼs ports.
Australia is integrated into the U.S. war machine which is backing Israel. The Pine Gap spy base in the Northern Territory is used by the United States to send intelligence to Israel, aiding their genocide and helping them terrorise the Middle East.
We will be marching on Albaneseʼs office in Marrickville on Saturday June 1 to demand that Albanese cut ties with Israelʼs genocide. The support of the Australian and other Western governments is what allows Israel to continue the killing in Gaza. Global pressure, sanctions and an end to Western supplies of arms can force Israel to end its war.
We will assemble at 1pm near Marrickville station at McNeilly Park and march through Albaneseʼs electorate to his office at 334 Marrickville Road. Albanese stop the lies—cut your ties with genocide!
