The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Since the attacks of Oct. 7, Australia has condemned the violence perpetrated by both sides and has routinely called for international humanitarian law to be observed throughout. These allegations are founded on the basis of misinformation and have no credibility going forward.

Establishment-critical narrative

While Albanese is only one of a handful of Western leaders to aid Israel in it actions in Gaza, this is significant as no other leader has yet been referred to the International Criminal Court. While the allegations are yet to be proven, it ought to give the Australian government and other Western states reasons to pause before continuing to provide material support to Israel.
