‘Completely divided’: Labor taking ‘unprincipled approach’ to Middle East conflict

Centre for Youth Policy Director Freya Leach says the Labor government is “completely divided” on the issue of Israel and Palestine. It comes as Opposition Leader Peter Dutton rejected the government’s October 7 motion after it tried to include mentions of the deaths in Gaza and Lebanon. “They are taking a very unprincipled approach, probably because they have no principles,” Ms Leach told Sky News host James Morrow. “It’s frankly extremely frustrating and insulting and misses the whole point of this conflict.”
