It's well past time for the US to let #JulianAssange return to Australia - well done Julian Hill MP and the Julian Assange Parliamentary Group for pushing the issue with U.S. Embassy Australia; more work needed from Anthony Albanese and Senator Penny Wong, including direct message to Joe Biden

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 Dr Monique Ryan MP Andrew Giles MP Clare O'Neil MP Republic of Nauru
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 Caritas Australia Senator Penny Wong
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 Anthony Albanese Andrew Giles MP Clare O'Neil MP
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. Senator Penny Wong supported this. The cries of the people must not be ignored.
‘A Jerusalem Voice for Justice’ reaches out to the people of Gaza and the West Bank: ‘We seek to make your cries heard in a world which needs to be shaken out of its complacency.’ Senator Penny Wong Petaren’t Dutton Dr Monique Ryan MP search.app/r2t4eKWd5vYdFT…
Thanks Senator Penny Wong: 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
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!
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. foreignminister.gov.au/minister/penny…
