EXCLUSIVE The refusal of 20 countries to sign the Olympic Truce, a concept that dates back to ancient Greece, is designed to send a message to Beijing over its human rights abuses. | Anthony Galloway Olympics Beijing2022

Since its revival in 1993, Israel and North Korea are usually the only countries not to sign the truce. But the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday passed the resolution without the support of 20 countries.

As a majority Muslim country, Turkey’s decision not to co-sponsor the resolution has been noted given China’s treatment of Muslim Uighurs in the far-western province of Xinjiang.The resolution called on all member states to “harness the power of sport to advance the world by fostering an atmosphere of peace, development, resilience, tolerance and understanding”.

A diplomatic boycott would involve not sending a delegation of officials to the Winter Olympics in February but allowing athletes to participate. It would be aimed at protesting against China’s human rights record across a number of fronts amid mounting concern for Ms Peng’s welfare.

“The case of Peng Shuai raises serious concerns about athlete safety,” she said. “In light of this and ongoing concerns about the human rights situation in China, Labor is willing to work with the government to agree a bipartisan, national position on the level of Australia’s diplomatic representation at the Winter Olympics.”

Western Australia’s predictable border moveWestern Australia has brought back restrictions against South Australia after the latter was hit by a Covid outbreak less than two weeks after it reopened borders. When most people no longer fear this cold-like germ, everything will return to normal。 Stop intimidating the people! Ridiculous We must never forget that even triple jabbed travellers from other states or overseas can still be carriers of Covid-19, Covid Delta or Covid Omicron.
