‘Disgusting and disgraceful’: Penny Wong votes against Israel in UN resolution

Sky News host Rowan Dean has called Foreign Minister Penny Wong “disgusting and disgraceful” for voting against Australia’s ally Israel in a vote recognising ‘permanent sovereignty’ for Palestinians in occupied territory. “The Albanese government has been disgraceful disgusting the week, and that was with Penny Wong and Palestine’s sovereignty to the area of the West Bank – voting in the United Nations for something Australia has always stayed away from,” Mr Dean said. “Yet again, how many is this? Six, seven times, Penny Wong has stabbed Israel, a close ally of ours and stabbed the Jews of Australia in the back.”
