Australia was one of the few countries in the world to recognise the city as the official capital, but Labor have now quietly reversed the controversial move.

Australia had been one of the few countries in the world to recognise West Jerusalem as the official capital.abc.net.au/news/jerusalem-israel-recognition-australia/101544964Australia's recognition of West Jerusalem as Israel's capital has been quietly scuttled by Labor, four years after former prime minister Scott Morrison made the controversial move.

Labor had long vowed to reverse the move if elected to office, and in recent days the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has without fanfare deleted online references to the decision.

Israel should declare that it recognises Alice Springs as the capital of Australia rather than Canberra.

well done

You don't get to decide another country's capital city.

Balanced act by dfat SenatorWong to hold recognition of W. Jerusalem as zionist apartheid regime capital. Until & unless internationally agreed borders are drawn b/w israelis & Palestinians, final status of Jerusalem should remain on hold. 2 state solution is the best outcome.

Either way, any part of Jerusalem is only a 'stone throw' away from the neighbours. Agitators like bob carr and co are supportive of harmless stone throwing neighbours, but hypocritically would have 000 on redial if their neighbours were a regular 'stone throw' away from them.

Click bait. The article states that 'The former government made the decision to recognise West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. No decision to change that has been made by the government.'.

The Jews built, lived in, and practiced their religion in Jerusalem 1800 years before the first Arabs invaded the area. It’s theirs no matter what some English colony in the Soth Pacific says.

Labor’s appeasement of Palestinian terrorists.

It amazes me that people support the Expansionism of Israel yet carry on about Russia doing the exact same thing. What next North Korea or China? It really is the same just a different spin. It really is a community of Critical Thinking failures.

Israel says what its own capital is ,so does every other country, recognition is irrelevent, what a country does to what its capital ie,where its main parliament is its own business,

Good news.

Good!!!!!!

I don't think Israel gives a hoot. They know where their capital city is. Labor wants it in Lebanon I suppose.

Trump era BS.

Labour showing their true colours in opposing Israel. Jerusalem is the capital of 🇮🇱 and the world needs to accept that. As predicted in the Bible, the State of Israel was reborn 2000 years after it ceased to exist and will continue to do so until the end of this age.

Very good albo

Ah, the stunning antiSemistism of the ALP. To what other country would the ALP say 'Nup, we decide what your capital is'...auspol Antisemitic

Something good for a change. freepalestine

Good!

Scott apparently believes in my father, yet he does not listen to my teachings.

Good.

yakillinme1 Well done Labor !

The anti-semites in Labor can’t help themselves. Nothing changes auspol

stone wear supply

Ah Labor , anti semites through and through .

Don’t be silly. The Labor Party hasn’t existed for decades. This is just a bunch of inner-city, left-wing latte sippers parading about in the now-dead Labor’s clothing.

Labor to inject billions into state infrastructureThe federal government will inject billions of dollars into nationwide infrastructure projects ahead of the October budget. Victoria will be allocated $2.2 billion towards the Suburban Rail Loop project, despite the Opposition’s plans to shelve the rail line if it wins the state election next month. New South Wales will receive $1 billion, with the government acquiring land for a high-speed rail line between Sydney and Newcastle. Good They do not have billions of dollars WE Do and don’t want them spent on Climate Change crap and projects that try to affect and steer out lives in A socialist micro-managing controlling way. How much of that money going into the profits foreign companies? State and local governments have outsourced the management and ownership of our infrastructure.
