Middle East conflict
Kathleen MATTHEWS-WARD (Broadmeadows) (09:56): Every time I speak in this place about the atrocities in Gaza I sincerely pray that I never have to speak on them again. But every time we return from a sitting break there has been another escalation in the horror and cruelty inflicted on innocent women, children, babies and men. I know Netanyahu does not care what I say, but as an elected leader and a voice for the many in my community who are as sickened and horrified as I am, I again implore leaders of every country, including Australia, to step up immediately and do everything they can to put an end to this misery and injustice.
