This follows Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s announcement Labor would reverse Australia’s recognition of West Jerusalem as the capital, hitting out at former prime minister Scott Morrison for his decision to “play politics” in shifting the position.
“I obviously support the position that we had, that the previous government had,” Mr Tehan told Sky News Australia.Mr Tehan denied Ms Wong’s claims the decision was politically motivated to win the seat of Wentworth in 2018. “It was a decision that was … made by the government at the time because we thought it was the right decision to make.”
Dan wouldn’t have a say in it it was totally Morrison sucking up to trump
They thought it was the right decision. But my guess is that, apart from simply doing it to please Israel and Trump, not one knows why.
pfffft being chastised by illegal occupiers and a government that supports apartheid , seems like a badge of honor The state of Israel has destabilized the entire middle east, and is not worthy
it wasn't
Why, because Trump did?
The previous government kiss ass and do what America tells them to do.
BS it was simply to try to win a few Jewish votes in Wentworth. Do these Liberals thinks we are really stupid?
What about BRINGING 'ISIS' females back in to Australia. Quiet on that eh. NOTHING BEING DISCUSSED.
Yep. Says it all really
When Allenby and the light horse liberated Jerusalem in 1917, It wasnt East or West Jerusalem It was just Jerusalem As it was then is now and forever will be. Israel controls Jerusalem it is for them to decide what is their capital
It didn’t get the votes for Sharma it was supposed to do.
Wow imagine associating with a group of apparently people who murder you if you are LGTBI affiliated or have sex outside of marriage for examples, and that is what the PALESTINIANS do to you. Pathetic individuals is all you are!!! So much for democracy when ya want to be that...
It is the capital. So now we’re appeasing Hamas and Hezbollah?
Yes to win votes auspol
Election promise made, election promise kept….Next.
Yes the deeds from right extremists ,a patronising deed favouring one over the other and guaranteeing no eternal peace in ME. Thats what Liberals are good at , ideology over common sense and safety of other people
It was the right decision. Labor supports terrorists.

Australia reverses former government's move to recognise West Jerusalem as capital city of IsraelThe decision to recognise West Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel was made in 2018 by former prime minister Scott Morrison. He shouldn't of done it in the first place. What did you expect from the Anglo Morrison who sees his God to be in his image? The White God was Israeli born. Thus he recognised Him more than even us, the pure blood and the soil of Australia of 60,000 years! Thanks for showing leadership. 😊
