‘Peak parody’: Penny Wong’s ironic plea to Iraq

Sky News host Liz Storer reacts to Foreign Minister Penny Wong's somewhat ironic plea to Iraq. In a social post Ms Wong requested the Iraqi government: 'uphold human rights of all its citizens, and abandon laws that target and criminalise the LGBTQIA+ community and its supporters'. “Our Foreign Minister has a laughable penchant for lecturing other countries on how to run their jurisdictions, and today it reached peak parody," Ms Storer said. “She requested Iraq, of all places, to basically stop being Islamic. “Penny Wong, it is a Muslim country. “What do you think you’re doing using your position in Australian government to be like, 'you guys abide by Western standards'.”
